Klinic vs PlushCare

Compare pricing, features, and medications to find the best GLP-1 provider for your weight loss journey

These two prices are not directly comparable

Klinic: the $99 figure is a per-visit consultation fee, not a month of treatment - the medication is billed separately.

Pros

✓Insurance-first, and it does the paperwork: Klinic states it handles the prior-authorisation process with your insurer on your behalf, which is the single biggest barrier to covered GLP-1 access
✓Transparent visit pricing - $99 initial visit and $75 follow-up visits
✓Prescribes FDA-approved branded medication including Zepbound, Wegovy, oral Wegovy and Foundayo
✓Accepts hundreds of insurance plans including Medicare and Medicaid, which almost no telehealth weight-loss service does
✓Nationwide network of licensed, board-certified independent providers
✓The whole intake and matching process is quoted at about 15 minutes, with insurance verified before you are matched
✓Support published as available 24/7/365 at support@klinic.com
✓Covers addiction, depression and chronic disease alongside obesity, so patients with overlapping conditions are not sent elsewhere

Cons

✗Klinic is a matching platform, not the practice - you are connected to "Independent Practitioners", so consistency depends on who you draw
✗The marketing is confusing about compounding. One landing page sells "oral compounded semaglutide" with ondansetron added for nausea, while the FAQ on that same page says Klinic prescribes the FDA-approved branded version only, and the main weight-loss page says all medications prescribed are FDA-approved branded ones
✗Visit fees are per appointment, so the real annual cost depends on how often your provider wants to see you
✗Medication cost is entirely separate and depends on your insurance - a covered GLP-1 can be $25/month, an uncovered one over $1,000
✗Prior-authorisation support is not a guarantee of approval, and the site does not publish approval rates
✗No phone number is published
✗Typos and inconsistencies in the on-site copy ("Tirzepttide", "Fill our a short form") do not inspire confidence in the detail work

Pros

✓Accepts insurance, which almost nothing else on this site does. Most in-network patients pay a copay of $30 or less for a visit
✓Membership is $19.99/month with the first month free, and there is no minimum commitment
✓Prescribes only FDA-approved medications - Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical - so no compounded product is involved
✓Care comes from board-certified primary care physicians rather than an asynchronous questionnaire review
✓A full refund is offered if the doctor is unable to treat you
✓Membership includes far more than weight care: 24/7 urgent care video visits, mental health support, discounted lab tests and free memberships for family
✓An in-app prescription discount card and HSA/FSA eligibility can reduce medication costs further
✓The site is candid that GLP-1s 'usually cost about $1000 per month out of pocket' and advises checking insurance coverage first, rather than hiding the real figure

Cons

✗The $19.99 membership buys access, not medication. Without insurance coverage the GLP-1 itself can run about $1,000 a month, which PlushCare states openly but which makes the headline price misleading if read as a treatment cost
✗Visits are charged on top of membership - $129 for an initial visit without in-network insurance
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.4 out of 5 across 2,735 reviews, the weakest score of any established provider we have reviewed here
✗Prescriptions are explicitly at the doctor's discretion, so paying for membership and a visit does not guarantee you leave with a GLP-1
✗This is a general telehealth service, so the weight-loss programme has less dedicated structure - no built-in coaching, food tracking or dose-titration support
✗Medication and lab costs are excluded from every advertised price, so your real monthly outlay depends entirely on your insurer
✗Contrave is offered as a $99 cash-pay alternative, but the cash cost of the GLP-1s themselves is not published
✗If you have no insurance and want a GLP-1, this route is likely to cost far more than the compounded providers listed elsewhere on this site
