Our Verdict

Sesame Care is the most cost-effective path to a GLP-1 prescription for insured patients. At $25 per consultation with no subscription lock-in, it's ideal for users who just need a prescriber and will handle medication through their insurance. For uninsured users or those wanting an all-inclusive experience, subscription platforms offer better overall value.

Key differentiator: The cheapest way to get a GLP-1 prescription — $25 per consultation with no subscription, ideal for insured patients who just need a prescriber.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the $25 include medication?+
No. The $25 is for the doctor consultation only. You fill your prescription separately — either through your insurance at a retail pharmacy or through Sesame's compounded pharmacy partner.
Can I use Sesame Care for ongoing refills?+
Yes. Book follow-up consultations as needed for $25 each. There's no monthly subscription — you only pay when you need a visit.
What if I don't have insurance?+
You can still use Sesame Care for the consultation, then fill a compounded prescription through their pharmacy partner for $99-199/mo. However, all-inclusive platforms like Willow ($160/mo) may be a better value.
How does this compare to subscription platforms?+
Sesame Care is consultation-only. Subscription platforms like Willow, Henry Meds, or Fridays bundle the consultation, medication, and shipping into one monthly fee. Sesame is cheapest if you have insurance covering the medication itself.
