What GLP-1 weight loss care costs without insurance
What goes into the price of GLP-1 care paid in cash, what to ask before you pay anywhere, and what neo's price includes.
Many people pay for GLP-1 care themselves. Prices differ a lot from one service to another, and so does what the price covers. The useful question is not only how much, but for what.
What a price can leave out
Before you compare two numbers, check that they cover the same things:
- The medication itself, or only the visit.
- The clinician's review, and follow-ups before refills.
- Shipping.
- A membership fee on top of the medication.
- Whether the price changes as the dose changes.

When you are charged

Insurance

Compounded and brand-name prices are not the same thing
The medications prescribed through neo are compounded. Compounded medications are not FDA approved and are not the same as brand-name medications. Their prices are not a like-for-like comparison with a brand-name medication's price.
If you can cancel matters too. At neo there are no long-term contracts, and you can cancel anytime from your account.
