The weight loss medication I was prescribed is expensive. Is there anything I can do to reduce the cost?

Contact your insurance about other weight loss medications

If your medication is not covered, we advise that you contact your insurance to verify what medications are covered, including details on dosages and if coverage is only for patients with specific diagnoses.

Once you know what medications are covered by your plan, book a follow-up with your provider to discuss an alternate medication. As always, prescriptions are up to your doctor’s discretion. Please contact us if you need assistance. 

Try a cash pay medication

Some medications are not covered by insurance, but may be cheaper overall. If you are interested in exploring one of these options, please book an appointment to discuss with your doctor. We are not affiliated with these companies.

1. PLENITY is a weight management medication through GoGoMeds pharmacy. It costs $98 dollars for a month’s supply.

2. Contrave is another cash pay option for $99 dollars for home delivery

Use your HSA or FSA

You can save an average of 30% by using pre-tax HSA or FSA dollars for your medications.
