Form Health Review: Price, Pros & Cons

Form Health is built around insurance. It works with most major private insurers and Medicare, and bills your care team visits, labs and medication through your plan. You pay your usual copay or deductible, the same as for an in-person doctor visit. A care advisor can check your coverage before you start.

If you don't have insurance, or your plan doesn't cover the program, there's a self-pay plan for $299 a month. It covers visits with your clinician and registered dietitian, unlimited messaging and the Form app. It doesn't cover labs or medication, which you pay for separately. The self-pay fee is HSA and FSA eligible.

Each patient gets a care team led by an American Board of Obesity Medicine clinician, with a registered dietitian and support staff. You have monthly video visits with your clinician and dietitian, messaging in between, and tools in the app for weight tracking and food photo journaling. There's also an optional patient support group and monthly video classes.

Form clinicians prescribe FDA-approved weight-loss medications, including Wegovy and Zepbound injections and Contrave tablets. They don't prescribe compounded GLP-1s, and they don't prescribe controlled drugs such as phentermine.

Your care team reviews your insurance coverage and submits prior authorizations. If your first-choice drug isn't covered, your clinician may suggest an alternative. Without coverage, a brand-name GLP-1 bought at full price can be expensive, so check what your plan pays before you enroll.

You must be 18 or older, with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure. You also need a primary care doctor you've seen within the last 12 months.

You can cancel your membership at any time. Form Health says your care team will help you make a transition plan if you leave.
