Best GLP-1 programs to compare for live clinician visits

How this shortlist was selected

CoreAge Rx is number one because it is our featured commercial partner. That position is predetermined by our commercial relationship, and we may earn compensation through its links. Other entries illustrate relevant care and payment models; their order is not a ranking of medication quality, safety, or patient outcomes.

Ask for the actual appointment format, frequency, clinician role, and any visit charge before enrolling. We used the provider documents linked beside each entry, checked September 21, 2026. We did not purchase treatment, test private accounts, audit every license, or measure response times. The product and current written quote for your own care still need confirmation. Read our review method.

01. CoreAge Rx — featured partner

The featured commercial listing describes clinician review and state-dependent consultation requirements. If scheduled video contact is essential, obtain confirmation of availability and price before selecting a plan.

The current sale page advertises semaglutide from $99 per month and tirzepatide from $149 per month, with no membership fee. Those are advertised starting figures, not a personalized checkout quote. The plan length and total amount due must be read alongside the monthly equivalent.

The sale page says CoreAge works with U.S. compounding pharmacies and describes 503A facilities. A category of pharmacy is not a substitute for the name, address, and state license of the pharmacy filling your own prescription. Request that information before deciding.

02. Shapely

Explicitly describes monthly provider video visits and dietitian access. Verify which appointments are included in your payment pathway.

Shapely lists a $49 first self-pay membership month followed by $99 per month. Medication is excluded, and the site separately lists medication starting prices and possible lab charges. Its insured pathway requires an individual coverage check.

Confirm which visits your plan covers and which services belong to the selected membership. Acceptance of an insurance plan does not establish coverage of a weight-loss prescription.

03. Calibrate

Describes a clinician video visit and separate individual video coaching. Keep the prescribing appointment and coaching schedule distinct when comparing services.

Calibrate lists membership at $199 per month with a three-month initial commitment: $597 paid in monthly installments. Lab tests and prescription medicines are excluded from that membership price.

Insurance assistance does not guarantee a covered prescription. Review the commitment, medication and lab costs, and the separate conditions attached to any advertised money-back offer.

04. Sesame Care

Describes ongoing video visits and a dedicated provider within its weight-loss program. Its care fee excludes medication and depends on the selected commitment.

Success by Sesame lists care from $59 per month on a 12-month commitment and a $99 month-to-month option. Medication costs are excluded and vary with the prescription, pharmacy, and coverage.

Read the selected plan’s refund and renewal cutoff. Its FAQ distinguishes cancelling before the initial visit from a cancellation after that visit has occurred.

Check the official Sesame Care program page for the current offer and conditions.

05. PlushCare

Uses a primary-care video-appointment model with a separate visit charge. Confirm the cost of later appointments rather than budgeting only for the first visit.

PlushCare lists a $19.99 monthly membership after a free first month, plus the visit charge. Its uninsured initial visit is $129; an insured visit depends on the patient’s plan. Medication and lab costs are separate.

A covered visit does not mean the prescribed medicine is covered. Confirm membership, follow-up visit charges, lab costs, and the chosen pharmacy price as separate lines.

Check the official PlushCare program page for the current offer and conditions.

06. Found

Requires synchronous video visits on its insurance pathway, while cash-pay care is generally text-based. Choose the actual pathway that matches the contact you want.

Found advertises $99 for its insurance pathway and $169 for cash pay on 12-month prepaid plans, while describing billing in 28-day cycles. Its monthly-plan figures are $199 with insurance and $289 cash pay. Insurance visits can add copays; branded medication costs are separate.

Ask for the total upfront charge, number of covered 28-day cycles, medication, and visit copays. A low insured-plan headline is neither proof of drug coverage nor a complete branded-drug price.

The details that decide this comparison

A live clinician visit, a coaching session, and customer-service chat are different forms of contact. Confirm which professional handles prescribing questions.

Check whether recurring visits are included or booked and billed separately. An initial video visit does not establish the follow-up schedule.

Ask about accessibility needs such as captions, caregiver participation, or telephone alternatives. Do not assume every portal supports the same accommodations.

Keep the treatment distinction clear

An FDA-approved branded medicine and a compounded preparation have different regulatory status. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Trials of an approved product do not prove that every compounded version has the same performance.

Ask the prescribing professional why the exact product is appropriate for you, and identify the dispensing pharmacy. A price, a website’s appearance, or a place in this list cannot establish personal suitability. Our guide to compounded drugs and FDA approval explains the distinction.

Before you make a change

Before a visit, prepare a medication list, your main questions, and any recent records the clinician requested. Use the provider’s secure channel for health information.

A video appointment is a communication format, not a guarantee of a particular prescription or outcome. The assessment and follow-up plan remain the important parts of care.
