LifeMD

What it is

The weight management program launched in April 2023 and covers provider visits, metabolic coaching, labs and prescriptions as appropriate.

It prescribes brand-name GLP-1s such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo, plus a non-GLP-1 oral combination of metformin, bupropion and topiramate.

The page says providers may prescribe compounded medication from a partner compounding pharmacy where clinically appropriate.

LifeMD reported about 81,000 weight management subscribers as of December 31, 2025.

Prescribes: Mainly brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Saxenda, Foundayo) and an oral off-label combination; compounded medication possible where a provider deems it appropriate.

What it costs

Insurance: Program fee is cash; a pharmacy partner runs benefit checks so insurance may cover medication. FAQ says Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE patients are not eligible for the GLP-1 program.
