Sesame (Success by Sesame weight loss)
Sesame is a US cash-price telehealth marketplace whose weight-loss subscription connects patients with providers who can prescribe brand-name GLP-1 medications.
What it is
The subscription includes telehealth visits, unlimited messaging and ongoing care from a provider the patient chooses.
Medication is not included in the subscription fee; the page lists cash prices for brand-name GLP-1s such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo.
The program does not bill insurance, but providers can help with prior authorization if a patient's plan covers medication.
Prescribes: Brand-name, FDA-approved GLP-1s (Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Foundayo); providers on Sesame do not prescribe controlled weight-loss drugs such as phentermine.
