CVS MinuteClinic

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

Reasons to consider it

  • 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

What to weigh up

  • 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

Gatlan

Shoppers who value named clinical leadership (Dr. Robert Lufkin) and will ask for per-dose pricing, which the site doesn't publish.

Reasons to consider it

  • Named Chief Medical Advisor with verifiable academic credentials — Dr. Robert Lufkin, UCLA/USC
  • 45 states plus DC are listed by name on the homepage, so coverage can be checked without starting sign-up
  • Free consultations, and Gatlan says they stay free for as long as you're a patient

What to weigh up

  • The only weight-loss price is 'From $125/mo', with no drug, dose or plan named, so ask what that figure buys
  • No LegitScript badge shown on the site
  • No pharmacy partner named, and 503A/503B status is not disclosed
