October 2026

CVS MinuteClinic offers a weight-loss program with a $29 online eligibility consultation and, when appropriate, prescriptions for FDA-approved GLP-1 medications paid for separately.

Best for: Patients who want a retail-clinic or online weight-loss consultation and a brand-name prescription filled at their pharmacy.

What CVS MinuteClinic does well

  • Backed by CVS's national retail pharmacy and insurance infrastructure
  • Prescribes FDA-approved (non-compounded) GLP-1 products when appropriate
  • Widespread physical locations plus some virtual visit options
  • Established, trusted national brand

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The $29 eligibility consultation does not include laboratory work or the medication
  • No compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide offered, where the rest of this comparison set does
  • Medication and follow-up visits are separate costs; ask for the price under your insurance or cash-pay arrangement
  • The program recommends visits around dose changes and every three months afterward; confirm availability and follow-up charges in your state
