How GLP-1 Recommendations Work

Not all GLP-1 medications are equivalent — they differ in mechanism, average weight loss, cost, and insurance pathways. The right choice depends on your individual profile.

Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide (Zepbound) produces greater average weight loss (~21% vs ~15%) and costs less at list price. For self-pay patients, Zepbound single-dose vials ($399–549/month) are significantly more affordable than any semaglutide option. For patients with established cardiovascular disease, semaglutide has more completed cardiovascular outcome trial data.

Choosing Your Prescribing Pathway

Telehealth is fastest — prescriptions in 1–7 days. Primary care is most integrated. Obesity medicine specialists offer the most thorough evaluation. For patients with insurance, working with a provider who has strong prior authorization experience meaningfully improves coverage success rates.

Insurance and Cost

The manufacturer savings card is the most impactful cost lever for commercially insured patients — reducing monthly cost to $25 for eligible patients. Apply before filling your first prescription.
