How PRIMO's weight-loss program works
PRIMO Health Partners is a virtual care practice owned by Cooper and Company, a Georgia company, and led by Dr. William A. Cooper, a cardiovascular surgeon and former founding medical director of cardiovascular surgery at WellStar Health System. Besides weight loss, it offers virtual urgent care, virtual primary care, cardiology consultations and second opinions.
Its GLP-1 program is physician-directed and nurse-guided. You're assigned a dedicated nurse, start on a low dose that's raised over time, and your doctor checks for side effects along the way. To begin, you call or fill out a contact form, then have an online consultation by video or phone. PRIMO advertises same-day appointments.

What it costs
PRIMO doesn't publish a price for its GLP-1 program. Its FAQ says there are several programs to choose from, including subscriptions and combined plans that pair weight loss with its virtual urgent care or primary care memberships, which are priced separately. PRIMO says its services count as HSA-eligible medical expenses. Ask for the full monthly cost, medication included, and how long you're committing for, before you book.
Who fills the prescription
PRIMO says it uses compounding pharmacies to fill GLP-1 and GIP prescriptions such as semaglutide and tirzepatide, but it doesn't name them. Its FAQ says that once a doctor prescribes, the medication is sent to your pharmacy, and in some cases shipped straight to your home. It doesn't list the states it serves.
Questions to ask before you start
- Which pharmacy will fill your prescription, and will it ship to you or go to a local pharmacy?
- Is the medication compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, or a brand-name drug? PRIMO's FAQ describes Wegovy and Ozempic dosing, while its program pages say prescriptions are compounded.
- What does a month cost at your starting dose, and does the price rise as your dose goes up?
- Can you get care in your state?
