Questions, answered
How is the total calculated?
For compounded programs, we multiply the advertised monthly price by the number of months. Where a program charges more at higher doses, the result is a minimum. For brand-name medications we follow the label’s dose steps month by month at the manufacturer’s self-pay price, and add any membership fee.
Why does brand-name medication cost more over time?
Manufacturer self-pay prices are set by dose. Zepbound, for example, is $299 a month at 2.5 mg, $399 at 5 mg and $449 at 7.5 mg and above if you refill within 45 days.
Does this include insurance?
No. These are cash prices. If your insurance covers a brand-name GLP-1, manufacturer savings cards can bring the cost to as little as $25 a month.
