Cost

Verification status: We could not independently verify a public official price on 2026-07-28. Treat any advertised figure as unverified and confirm the all-in cost before enrolling.
The all-in cost rule: your real cost is membership + medication + any required labs — not just the headline membership price. Confirm the full number for your situation before enrolling. For every path compared, see our real cost of GLP-1s guide.
