Mochi's membership is the cheapest way to keep a brand-name prescription if you commit for a year, and it includes a 30-minute video visit with a doctor and registered dietitian visits. It bills visits to insurance where it can and helps with prior authorization.

A first year on the Wegovy® pill with a membership comes to about $5,000. Compounded semaglutide at TotalRx is $129 a month on a 12-month plan, with no membership and the price locked for life. It is a different product. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not verify their safety, effectiveness, or quality. Our compounded vs brand-name guide explains the difference.
Prices read from each provider's own website between October 11 and October 22, 2026, at the starting dose. Brand-name medication costs more at higher doses. "All in" is the Wegovy® pill at its starting dose plus the membership from month two.
What brand-name GLP-1s cost without insurance

Add the program's membership to get your monthly cost. A late Zepbound® refill costs more: $499 at 7.5 mg and $699 at 10 to 15 mg 1. Our cost guide has every dose.
Insurance, savings cards and Medicare
Commercial insurance: if your plan covers Wegovy® or Zepbound®, the manufacturer savings cards can bring it to as little as $25 a month 12. Ro, LifeMD and Mochi help with the paperwork.
Coverage is shrinking: the share of large employers covering GLP-1s for weight loss fell from 72% to 60% in a year 4.
Medicare: since July 2026, the GLP-1 Bridge offers Wegovy® or the Zepbound® KwikPen for $50 a month to Part D members who qualify 3. See our Medicare guide.
Do you need a telehealth program at all?
Not necessarily. If your own doctor will prescribe, you can order directly from NovoCare Pharmacy or LillyDirect at the same self-pay prices with no membership 12. A program earns its fee if you have no doctor willing to prescribe, want help with insurance, or value regular check-ins and an app. Our Ro vs Hers comparison goes deeper on the two biggest.
