- Clinical program fees: Ivím lists a $74.99/month membership with medication billed separately. Sesame lists care from $59/month on a 12-month commitment; month-to-month costs more, and medication is separate. These are care fees, not all-inclusive drug prices. Official source

These are manufacturer self-pay or listed care-fee examples, not one all-inclusive price or guaranteed prescription. Insurers, clinical visits, pharmacy choice, dosage, supplies, refill conditions and geography can change the amount due.

Month 1 Pricing Is Marketing. Month 6 Is Reality.
Every GLP-1 telehealth provider advertises their lowest possible price. That's usually the Month 1 starting-dose rate — before titration increases your dosage and your bill. Some providers lock pricing regardless of dose. Others ramp costs quietly. The difference can be $100+/month by the time you hit therapeutic dose.
We analyzed the actual cost trajectory for every provider on our comparison board. Here's what you'll really pay when it matters.
The Month-by-Month Reality
| Provider | Mo. 1 | Mo. 3 | Mo. 6 | 12-Mo Total | Price Lock? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Get Thin MD | $119 | $119 | $119 | $1,428 | ✓ Yes |
| Yucca Health | $149 | $149 | $149 | $1,788 | ✓ Yes |
| Care Bare Rx | $169 | $169 | $169 | $2,028 | ✓ Yes |
| Novi | $174 | $174 | $174 | $2,088 | ✓ Yes |
| Sesame Care (brand) | $199 | $199 | $199 | $2,388 | ✓ Yes |
| NovoCare Oral Wegovy | $149 | $149 | $299 | $2,886 | ✗ Increases |
| NovoCare Injectable Wegovy | $199 | $349 | $349 | $3,988 | ✗ Increases |
The key insight: Providers with dose-locked pricing (✓) are cheaper at Month 6 than brand-name programs that advertise lower Month 1 rates. When comparing providers, always ask: 'Does the price change when my dose increases?' If they dodge the question, that's your answer.
Hidden Fees That Don't Show Up in Ads
Beyond the medication cost, watch for these line items that can add $25–75/month to your real cost:
| Consultation fee | $0–$75 (many providers include it; some charge separately) |
| Shipping | $0–$25 (cold-chain required for injectables) |
| Platform/membership fee | $0–$50/mo (the sneakiest add-on) |
| Follow-up visits | $0–$50 (required every 30–90 days) |
The providers on our board feature all-inclusive pricing where consultation, shipping, and follow-ups are included in the monthly rate. That's deliberate — we only feature providers where the advertised price is the real price.
