The all-in monthly checklist

A headline price is rarely the whole cost. Before you pay any program, check these six things for a normal month, not the first one.

Read the fees guide →Compare all-in prices
  • Medication: included, or billed on top? Does it rise with dose?
  • Membership: a separate monthly or annual fee?
  • Consultation: are follow-ups and dose changes charged?
  • Labs: required, and who pays?
  • Shipping and supplies: cold-chain delivery, needles, sharps.
  • Renewal: the ongoing price, the date, and how to cancel.

FAQ

Who typically qualifies for a GLP-1 program?
Most programs consider adults with a BMI of 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or sleep apnea. Programs publish their own condition lists, which can be longer. Our guide covers who qualifies for a GLP-1 in full.
Does passing the check mean I'm approved?
No. It means you match the profile programs usually consider. A licensed clinician reviews your full history before prescribing.
Injectable or oral — what's the difference?
Injectables (e.g. semaglutide, tirzepatide) are taken weekly and showed larger average weight loss in clinical trials. Oral options are daily tablets, often lower priced, with more modest average results in trials. Trial averages are not typical individual results, and a licensed clinician decides which option, if any, is appropriate.
What does it cost without insurance?
The programs we track that include compounded medication charge $129–$299 a month ongoing. FDA-approved brand-name products bought through the manufacturers’ self-pay programs run $149–$449 a month if you refill on time, as of October 2026; Zepbound’s regular price at 10 mg and above is $699. Prices vary by program and dose.
