If you're on Medicare
The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge can bring the cost down to $50 a month if you qualify, but you need Part D drug coverage to qualify, the Bridge itself is a separate Medicare program, and your prescriber has to get a prior authorization. For most people on Medicare, the simplest route is your own doctor. Online programs are a weaker fit here: LifeMD says people with Medicare, Medicaid or TRICARE aren't eligible for its GLP-1 programs, and Ro's pill options are cash pay.
How to choose
- Add up the real monthly cost. Online programs charge a membership on top of the medication. A $39 first-month membership plus $149 for the starting dose is $188 that month.
- Make sure it's the FDA-approved drug. Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved. Every option on this page lists brand-name medication, but LifeMD says its providers may prescribe compounded drugs in some cases, so ask for the brand name by name.
- Ask how dose increases and refills work. Both pills step up in dose roughly monthly, and the price usually rises with the dose.
- Expect a real evaluation. A licensed clinician should review your health history before prescribing.
