Pros

  • Prescribes FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including the new Wegovy pill, rather than compounded copies
  • The membership pairs medication with the Points behavioural programme and a Care Team for regular check-ins - a structured behaviour-change layer most GLP-1 sellers do not offer
  • Med+ membership starts at $25 for the first month on a 12-month plan (checked July 26, 2026)
  • Backed by an established public company with a decades-long operating history, not a funnel launched last year
  • Medical services are provided through a named affiliated medical group rather than an unnamed clinician network
  • The site is explicit that membership and medication are billed separately, so the cost structure is not disguised
  • Insurance may cover the medication itself, since these are FDA-approved products rather than compounded ones

Cons

  • The membership fee does not include the medication. After the first month, Med+ is $74/month for the remainder of a 12-month plan, and the GLP-1 itself is billed separately on top
  • The $25 introductory rate requires committing to a 12-month plan, and plans auto-renew for another full term unless you cancel
  • The general WW membership offer works the same way: '$10/month for 10 months' is based on a 10-month commitment that 'auto-renews at the end of each plan term for another 10-month period unless canceled'
  • The affiliate link for this offer lands on the general WeightWatchers membership promotion, not on the GLP-1 clinic, so you may need to navigate to Med+ yourself
  • Because medication is billed separately and depends on insurance, your true monthly cost cannot be known before you sign up and are assessed
  • This offer is not available in Alabama, California, Louisiana, Mississippi or Washington
  • The '66% off' framing applies only to the first month of a twelve-month commitment
  • A doctor-recommendation claim on the site rests on a 2023 survey of 500 doctors commissioned by Cerner Enviza, not on clinical outcome data

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
