How to read this
Prices come from each provider's own public pricing page on the date above, linked in the table. They are cash prices for FDA-approved, brand-name medicines. Some providers also sell compounded versions; we list only their FDA-approved products. Insurance can change your cost completely, so check your own coverage first. We do not list compounded versions, and we are not paid by any provider listed here. A licensed clinician still has to decide whether a GLP-1 is right for you; seehow GLP-1 telehealth works and thelegal status tracker.
