Who Medi-Weightloss may suit

Shoppers near one of Medi-Weightloss's 139 US clinics who want in-person labs and are comfortable with location-dependent pricing.

Where the value is

  • The homepage reports 139 in-person clinic locations across the US, with labs and body composition analysis done at the new-patient visit
  • Publishes real introductory numbers ($99 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide first month) rather than staying fully opaque
  • Insurance path available for branded Zepbound/Wegovy/Saxenda, with the site claiming most insured patients 'pay between $0 and $50 per visit'
  • FSA/HSA eligible, financing options offered

The tradeoffs

  • The $99/$199 headline figures are explicitly FIRST-MONTH-ONLY; the ongoing self-pay rate 'varies by program and location' and is never published anywhere on the site
  • A separate $199 new-patient visit fee is charged before the first month's medication price even applies
  • Because each clinic is independently operated, the same program can cost a different amount at two different Medi-Weightloss locations
  • Ask your local clinic who will prescribe and which pharmacy will fill a compounded prescription; the central GLP-1 page does not identify the dispensing location
  • No LegitScript certification or lab/COA testing disclosure

A clinic you visit in person

Medi-Weightloss is a network of more than 130 weight-loss clinics, and each one is independently operated. That shapes everything about the price: self-pay membership fees, medication costs and the services on offer can differ from one location to the next.

You start with a free assessment, then come in for a New Patient Visit. That visit covers your medical history, lab work, a body composition analysis and a personalized plan. Most patients then visit weekly during the weight-loss and short-term maintenance phases, and monthly once they move into the wellness phase. Many locations also offer telehealth visits for continuity when you can't come in.

Considering Medi-Weightloss?

Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.

What self-pay costs

Medi-Weightloss publishes some of its self-pay numbers and leaves the rest to each clinic.

CostWhat Medi-Weightloss publishes
New Patient Visit$199, includes assessment, labs and GLP-1 eligibility review
Monthly membershipSet by each clinic; 1-, 3- or 6-month plans
Compounded semaglutide$99 for the first month
Compounded tirzepatide$199 for the first month

The membership covers the program itself, including weekly visits, nutrition plans and progress tracking, and Medi-Weightloss says its price stays the same across doses. Medication is billed on top. The $99 and $199 figures are first-month prices only, and the ongoing medication price isn't published, so ask your clinic for the month-two figure before you start.

The program isn't contract-based and you don't have to prepay, though some locations sell prepaid loyalty plans. Financing is available, and FSA and HSA funds can be used.

Using insurance

Many locations are in-network with major insurers. Covered services can include the initial consultation, office visits and preventive counseling, and Medi-Weightloss says most insured patients pay between $0 and $50 a visit. If your plan covers brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Saxenda, the clinic will help you use that benefit. Repeat lab work, supplements, IV therapy and hormone treatment cost extra.

Who fills compounded prescriptions

Your provider orders compounded medication from a licensed pharmacy for you, so you don't deal with the pharmacy yourself. Ask your local clinic for the name and address of the pharmacy filling your prescription; the central GLP-1 treatment page does not identify a dispensing location. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved.

Questions for your clinic

  • What is the monthly membership fee at this location, for each plan length?
  • What will the medication cost from month two on?
  • Is this clinic in-network with your insurance plan?
  • How much do repeat labs cost, and how often are they needed?
