What stands out

• Structurally different from the rest of this set: this is a benefits-channel product, not a direct-to-consumer subscription.
• Publishes the clearest explanation of insurer requirements of any provider captured, including programme engagement conditions some plans impose to maintain coverage.
• Notes that some plans require you to participate in programme activities to keep coverage — a condition worth knowing before you start.
• Does not advertise compounded medication.

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.

• Check first whether your employer or plan offers this at all — that determines access.
• Ask what the programme engagement requirements are, since failing them can end your coverage.
• If your plan excludes weight-loss drugs categorically, confirm what self-pay actually costs here.
