Knownwell

Insured shoppers who want an obesity-medicine specialist overseeing brand-name GLP-1 care, with published self-pay drug prices as a fallback.

Reasons to consider it

  • Co-founded and clinically led by Dr. Angela Fitch, a named, credentialed obesity-medicine specialist (Chief Medical Officer)
  • Prescribes branded FDA-approved GLP-1s across the current class (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Saxenda) plus orforglipron/Foundayo
  • Publishes a self-pay price for every drug and dose, from $149 a month for the Wegovy pill

What to weigh up

  • Brand-name only, and the price rises with the dose: the Wegovy pill runs $149 to $299 a month, the Wegovy pen $349, and Zepbound $299 to $449
  • Those are medication prices; without insurance, knownwell's own visits cost $299 for the first and $149 for each follow-up
  • In-person care is limited to five states (Texas has primary care in Plano only), so most of the country can only use the virtual clinic

  • Prepaying lowers semaglutide to $133, $119 or $99 a month on 3-, 6- and 12-month plans

What to weigh up

  • It ships to 35 states and Puerto Rico; 15 more states and DC are checked case by case at the assessment
