Sesame Care stands out from typical telehealth platforms by operating as a provider marketplace rather than assigning you a random doctor. You can browse profiles, read reviews, and select the provider you want to work with. This model gives patients more control over their care experience. The $99/28-day subscription covers your provider consultations, while medication is billed separately. With 10+ GLP-1 options available, Sesame offers one of the broadest medication selections in the telehealth weight loss space.
The provider choice model is genuinely unique. Being able to select your own doctor based on reviews and specialties creates a more personalized experience. Sesame offers both FDA-approved brand-name medications (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Victoza, Trulicity, Rybelsus) and compounded semaglutide at $249/month with no markup. Their Costco partnership brings Wegovy injections to $349/month and Wegovy pills to $149/month. The insurance assistance team submits prior authorizations to help reduce brand-name costs. Labs are included in most states at no extra charge.
The billing cycle is every 28 days rather than monthly, which means 13 billing cycles per year instead of 12. This can catch some users off guard. Insurance is not accepted for the appointment subscription itself, only for medications filled at external pharmacies. Labs are not covered in 9 states. The consultation fee is separate from medication costs, which means the total monthly expense is higher than the advertised $99. Limited coaching and nutrition support compared to platforms that include these services.
Sesame Care is ideal for patients who want control over their provider selection and access to the widest range of GLP-1 medications. The transparent pricing, insurance navigation support, and Costco pharmacy partnership add real value. Best for informed consumers who want options and are comfortable managing their own care journey.
The provider subscription is $99 per 28 days. Medication costs are separate: compounded semaglutide is $249/month at cost, Wegovy injection through Costco is $349/month, Wegovy pill through Costco is $149/month, and brand-name GLP-1s with insurance can be as low as $25/month after prior authorization. Labs are included at no extra cost in most states.
Yes, this is one of Sesame Care's defining features. You can browse provider profiles, read patient reviews, and select the doctor you want for your weight loss consultation. Providers include physicians, nurse practitioners, and other licensed clinicians experienced in weight management. This marketplace model gives you more control than platforms that auto-assign providers.
Sesame offers 14+ options including FDA-approved brand-names (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Victoza, Trulicity, Rybelsus) and compounded semaglutide. Both injectable and oral formulations are available. Your chosen provider will recommend the best option based on your health profile, goals, and budget.
The $99/28-day subscription is cash-pay only and not covered by insurance. However, Sesame's insurance assistance team can submit prior authorizations for brand-name GLP-1 medications to your insurance company. If approved, you can fill prescriptions at your preferred pharmacy using insurance benefits, potentially reducing medication costs significantly.
You start by completing a health questionnaire, then browse and select a provider from the marketplace. During your video consultation, the provider reviews your health history and discusses treatment options. If prescribed, you can fill your prescription through Sesame's pharmacy partners (including Costco) or your preferred local pharmacy. Ongoing check-ins are included in your subscription.
