Pros
- ✓Publishes cash prices for brand-name drugs openly, which almost no competitor does: Ozempic $1,100/mo, Mounjaro around $1,100/mo, and Wegovy and Zepbound from $650/mo
- ✓Accepts insurance, with clinical visits covered for many members - the site says most pay under $30 per visit - and offers insurance navigation support for branded prescriptions
- ✓Compounded GLP-1s start at $99/month with flat pricing as your dose increases, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- ✓Non-GLP-1 plan options from $49/month for people who do not need or cannot take a GLP-1
- ✓The widest medication range of any provider on this site: compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Wegovy, Foundayo, Saxenda, metformin and more
- ✓Offer terms are spelled out concretely - 'Save $100/mo or more... when you choose a prepaid annual plan, compared to paying monthly' - rather than a bare percentage
- ✓A microdosing programme is offered as a lower-intensity entry point
- ✓Efficacy figures are attributed to the branded products they come from: 'Up to 15-20% weight loss with Wegovy and Zepbound'
Cons
- ✗On the branded route the medication cost is separate from your Found membership, so the advertised membership discounts do not touch the $650-$1,100 monthly drug bill unless insurance covers it
- ✗The best compounded rates require a prepaid annual plan; paying monthly costs about $100/month more by Found's own arithmetic
- ✗Trustpilot sits at 3.9 from 718 reviews, weaker than several smaller competitors reviewed here
- ✗Insurance acceptance is state-by-state, so coverage depends on where you live and which plan you hold - the free insurance check happens before you can know your real cost
- ✗Cash prices for branded GLP-1s are well above the manufacturers' own direct programmes, so the direct-pay route here is not the cheapest way to obtain them
- ✗The compounded products are not FDA-approved, and the 15-20% figures quoted come from trials of the branded drugs rather than Found's compounded versions
- ✗No published customer phone number or support hours
- ✗No BBB profile or complaint record to check

Pros
- ✓It bills your insurance instead of asking you to forget insurance exists. Circle Medical states it is in-network with most commercial plans
- ✓Publishes a real out-of-pocket figure rather than a marketing one: patients with accepted insurance paid an average of $35 per appointment over the previous six months
- ✓FDA-approved medication only - Wegovy, Zepbound and non-GLP-1 options such as Contrave when appropriate. No compounded product
- ✓No membership and no hidden fees, which is rare among insurance-accepting telehealth services
- ✓This is a full primary-care practice, so weight management sits inside ongoing medical care rather than being a standalone drug subscription
- ✓Clear, conventional eligibility criteria published up front: BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea, or BMI 30+ without one
- ✓A mobile app with regular provider check-ins
- ✓Honest about supply and coverage: the site warns these treatments have significant stock issues and are not always covered
- ✓Insurance verification is built into the booking flow, so you find out where you stand before the appointment
Cons
- ✗Your cost is whatever your plan says it is. $35 is an average, not a price - deductibles and exclusions can leave you paying far more
- ✗The medication itself is a separate cost from the visit, and coverage for weight-loss drugs is the single most commonly denied benefit in this category
- ✗You must live in the state you are treated in and have your primary pharmacy in that same state, which rules out anyone splitting time between states
- ✗The full list of available states is not published - you have to start booking an appointment to see it
- ✗You may be booked with any available provider (MD, DO, PA-C or NP) rather than choosing one
- ✗If your insurance denies weight-loss coverage, there is no cash-pay compounded fallback here
