How Much Does GLP-1 Treatment Cost?
A transparent breakdown of membership fees, medication costs, and how manufacturer programs can save you thousands.
The Two Components of Cost
When seeking weight loss treatment through telehealth, your total investment consists of two separate costs:
1. Membership Fee
This covers your clinical care, provider consults, prescription management, and ongoing support.
2. Medication Cost
Purchased separately through the manufacturer's pharmacy program — NovoCare (Novo Nordisk) or LillyDirect (Eli Lilly). Fixed cash-pay pricing, no insurance required.
Comparing Membership Fees
| Provider | Monthly Fee | Medication Type | Includes Medication? | Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Imbue Health | $29 | Brand-name (FDA-approved) | No — separate from $149/mo | None |
| WeightWatchers Clinic | $74 | Brand-name (FDA-approved) | No — separate | 12 Months |
| Calibrate | $137 (effective) | Brand-name (FDA-approved) | No — separate | 12 Months |
| Ro | $145 | Compounded | Yes — compounded, bundled | None |
| Hims | $199 | Compounded | Yes — compounded, bundled | None |
| Noom Med | $149 | Compounded | Yes — compounded, bundled | Varies |
Competitors that bundle medication into their fee are prescribing compounded (non-FDA-approved) alternatives — not the same as brand-name Wegovy® or Zepbound®. Imbue Health separates membership from medication so you always know what you're paying for, and you're always getting the real thing.
Why We Separate Membership from Medication
Most telehealth providers bundle everything into one fee. We don't — and that's by design.
Flexibility
If you pause medication for any reason, you're only paying $29/month — not $145+ like bundled providers. Your physician care continues uninterrupted. When you're ready to restart, there's no new consultation fee or re-enrollment process.
Transparency
You see exactly what goes to your physician care ($29) and what goes to your medication (manufacturer pricing). No opaque bundled fees, no wondering what you're paying for.
Switching is free
If you and your provider decide to switch medications — say from Oral Wegovy® to Zepbound® — your membership cost doesn't change. You only pay the difference in medication pricing.
Brand-name at manufacturer pricing
Because we don't mark up medication, you pay the same price the manufacturer charges directly. No middleman markup, no compounding pharmacy margin.
Medication Pricing Through Manufacturer Programs
Imbue Health patients purchase their medication directly through the manufacturer's pharmacy program at fixed cash-pay pricing — no insurance required.
- Oral Wegovy® — Starting at $149/month through NovoCare (Novo Nordisk)
- Injectable Wegovy® — Starting at $199/month through NovoCare (Novo Nordisk)
- Zepbound® Vials — Starting at $299/month through LillyDirect (Eli Lilly)
- Zepbound® KwikPen — Starting at $299/month through LillyDirect (Eli Lilly)
These are direct cash prices set by the manufacturer, not estimates or savings card ranges. Pricing may vary based on your prescribed dosage as you titrate up. Your Imbue Health provider will walk you through the exact cost for your dosage during your consultation.
