What stands out

• Publishes self-pay pricing openly and by dose tier, which most telehealth providers do not.
• No membership fee, so for anyone who already has a prescriber this avoids paying a subscription on top of the medication.
• Because no clinical service is bundled, your medical oversight is whatever your own clinician provides.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

• Self-pay price rises with dose — check the cost at your likely maintenance dose, not the starting dose.
• The $25 figure applies to eligible commercially insured patients with Zepbound coverage, which is a much narrower group than the headline suggests.
• You still need a prescriber; factor in the cost of obtaining and maintaining the prescription.
