GLP-1 Telehealth Provider Prices Compared
Telehealth prices look confusing because every provider charges differently. This page splits each price into three honest parts, programme fee, medication cost and starting total, so you can compare like with like. Prices below were checked on 25 October 2026 from provider pages and current public pricing reports. Telehealth prices change often, so always verify the exact figure at checkout before you pay.
Price comparison at a glance
All figures are US dollars per month unless stated otherwise. "Starting total" means the lowest realistic ongoing monthly cost on the standard plan, before any first month discount. Your own total depends on the medicine, the dose, your state and your insurance.
| Provider | Programme fee | Medication | Starting total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ro | $149 per month on the monthly plan ($39 first month; $74 per month on a 12 month prepay) | Separate. Wegovy pill from $149 per month, Wegovy pen from $199 per month, Zepbound from $299 per month | From $298 per month on the monthly plan (membership plus Wegovy pill) |
| Noom | Included in the compounded plans below. Branded route: $129 per month care, medication not included | Included in compounded plans. GLP-1Rx $129 for the first 4 weeks, then $279 per month (compounded semaglutide). GLP-1Rx Plus $149 first, then $299 per month (compounded tirzepatide). Microdose from $79 first, then $179 per month | From $279 per month ongoing for full dose compounded semaglutide |
| Mochi Health | $79 per month ($39 first month promotion in eligible states) | Separate, priced by dose. Compounded semaglutide from $60 per month, compounded tirzepatide from $90 per month | From $139 per month (membership plus semaglutide floor) or $169 per month (tirzepatide floor) |
| PlushCare | $19.99 per month optional membership (first month free in some offers) | Separate. $129 per visit without insurance, or your insurance copay. Medication is filled at an outside pharmacy, so brand-name retail without insurance is around $1,000 or more per month | No single all-in figure. Visit cost plus medication cost, which depends on your insurance |
How to read this table
Three distinctions decide whether a price is really cheaper. First, programme fee versus medication: a low membership can hide an expensive medicine, and an all-in price can look high while actually including everything. Second, first month versus ongoing: introductory offers end, so judge a provider on the ongoing figure in the table, not the first month teaser. Third, dose: on dose-based plans such as Mochi, the medication price rises as your prescribed dose rises, so the starting total is a floor, not a promise.
Insurance changes the picture completely. Ro offers an insurance concierge that checks coverage and files prior authorization for brand-name pens, while PlushCare is built around insurance visits with copays. If you have commercial insurance, a provider that looks expensive for cash pay can become the cheapest route once coverage applies. If you are paying cash, all-in compounded plans usually quote the lowest monthly total, with the trade off that compounded products are not FDA approved.
What each provider includes
Ro is a brand-name only programme: FDA approved pens and pills, licensed clinicians, coaching, an insurance concierge and lab testing when the clinician orders it. Medication is always billed separately from membership, which keeps the programme flexible but makes the total harder to predict.
Noom pairs medication with its behaviour change programme: daily lessons, food and weight tracking, coaching and muscle defence workouts. Its compounded plans bundle medication into one price, while its branded route is care only, with the prescription filled at your own pharmacy.
Mochi Health is a membership plus medication model with dietitian access, coaching and insurance help for brand-name drugs. Its compounded medication is priced by dose, so confirm the price attached to your prescribed dose, not just the advertised starting price.
PlushCare is general virtual primary care that also prescribes GLP-1 medicines. Its strength is insurance: most in-network patients pay a visit copay, and the same account covers other care. Its weakness for cash payers is that there is no bundled medication price at all.
Providers not priced here
Hims and Hers, Henry Meds and Sesame are deliberately left out of the table. Their published prices conflict across sources as of October 2026, with different figures for the same plan depending on where you look, and at least one has changed what it offers during 2026. Listing a single figure for any of them would mislead you, so check their official sites directly for the current offer.
How to choose in four questions
First, do you have insurance that might cover a brand-name pen? If yes, start with an insurance friendly provider such as Ro or PlushCare and get a coverage check before comparing cash prices. Second, do you want brand-name or compounded medication? Brand-name means FDA approved products at higher prices, compounded means lower prices with the FDA approval trade off stated plainly above. Third, do you prefer one all-in monthly price or a separate membership plus medicine? Fourth, how much support do you want: coaching and lessons, dietitian access, or a simple prescription route? Answer those four and the table narrows to one or two realistic options. Our guide to judging telehealth safely covers the safety checks to run before you sign up with any of them, and the GLP-1 cost calculator can model the monthly and yearly totals for your own situation.
Frequently asked questions
Why do GLP-1 telehealth totals differ so much between providers?
Because providers charge in different ways. Some charge a programme fee and bill medication separately, some bundle medication into one monthly price, and some charge per visit. Two services can both be honest while quoting very different monthly figures, which is why this page splits every price into programme fee, medication and starting total.
Are compounded GLP-1 medicines from telehealth providers FDA approved?
No. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are prepared by compounding pharmacies for individual prescriptions and are not FDA approved. A transparent provider discloses that clearly before you pay. Brand-name pens such as Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro are FDA approved products.
Why is the first month cheaper than later months?
Most providers discount the first month or the first supply as an introductory offer, then charge the regular monthly rate. Compare the ongoing monthly figure, not the first month figure, when you judge what a year of treatment will cost.
Do these prices include lab work?
Usually not as a separate line, and it varies. Some programmes include basic lab testing when the clinician orders it, others charge per test or expect you to use your own insurance or doctor. Ask before you sign up if labs matter to your budget.
