Evernow Review: Price, Pros & Cons

Evernow is a menopause care company, and weight-loss medication is one of the treatments its clinicians prescribe. It charges for care, not for medication. The drug is billed separately, either through your insurance at your own pharmacy or at a cash price through Evernow's delivery pharmacies.

There are two ways to pay for care:

Membership gives you unlimited secure messaging with your clinician, automatic refills and ongoing access to your care plan. Video visits are optional and billed to insurance if you're covered. Pay per visit buys one video visit plus 90 days of access to prescriptions and the care portal. Video visits are covered by UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Anthem and Blue Cross Blue Shield, but not by Medicare or Medicaid. The membership fee isn't covered by insurance, though it's usually HSA and FSA eligible.

Evernow prescribes brand-name, FDA-approved weight medications: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Zepbound and Mounjaro, plus Contrave, which isn't a GLP-1. It doesn't offer compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Ozempic and Mounjaro are diabetes drugs and may be prescribed off-label for weight loss.

Evernow doesn't publish what the medication will cost you. That depends on the drug, your dose and your insurance. If your plan covers it, you pick it up at your local pharmacy and pay your copay. Some medications are cash-pay only and ship from Evernow's partner pharmacies, GoGo Meds and Art of Medicine, usually by USPS in discreet packaging. Ask for the cash price before your care plan is approved if you're not counting on insurance.

You fill out a health profile about your symptoms, history and goals, then choose a membership or a visit. Evernow matches you with a clinician licensed in your state. Video visits are often available within 24 hours, and messages are usually answered within a day. Labs are required only for some medications.

The clinicians are trained in menopause care and follow guidance from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and The Menopause Society. That's the main reason to choose Evernow for weight loss: one clinician can manage hormone therapy and a GLP-1 together, and can treat other midlife symptoms such as sleep, hair loss and vaginal dryness on the same plan.

• Check whether your insurance covers the specific drug you want. Evernow can't promise coverage.
• If you're paying cash, get the medication price in writing. It's on top of the membership.
• The 12-month membership is the lowest monthly rate, but you pay it upfront. Evernow suggests at least three months of care.
• Evernow doesn't publish its cancellation terms on its site, so ask how renewals and refunds work before choosing a longer plan.
