Weight care for the whole you

GLP-1s are medications that work by regulating your appetite to reduce the amount of food you eat. Studies have shown they can reduce weight by up to 15% in many people who take them for a year or longer, when combined with healthy lifestyle choices.*

Weight loss isn’t about willpower. There are biological factors that impact your metabolism, hunger, and weight that are outside of your control.

GLP-1s make you feel full longer, curb food cravings, and help your body process sugars more efficiently (source). This is why these drugs are often prescribed and used for the management of type 2 diabetes or obesity.

These medications are sometimes used along with a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for chronic weight management. Some GLP-1 medications are also used in patients with diabetes to help with blood sugar management.

• Semaglutide (Wegovy®, RYBELSUS®, Ozempic®
• Liraglutide (Victoza®, Saxenda®)
• Dulaglutide (Trulicity®)
• Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)

Your provider will assess your health needs to determine if medication is best suited for you. They will answer any questions about GLP-1s you have during your initial consult.

The Weight Care+ program costs $99 a month with an initial 12-month commitment or $139 a month with an initial 3-month commitment. This includes ongoing regular virtual consults with a clinician, writing and renewing GLP-1 prescriptions (if applicable), expert help navigating insurance for prescription coverage, an included at-home lab test or 3-month Daily Multivitamin supply delivered each quarter (note: at-home lab tests are not available to NY residents due to state regulation of laboratory testing), support for conditions such as prediabetes and high cholesterol, and digital features within the Everlywell app.

Note that the following items are not included in the program fee, and their cost may vary depending on insurance coverage:

Lab Testing (other than included quarterly at-home tests): Lab testing is required before your provider prescribes weight loss medication. Required labs include a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), hemoglobin A1c, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and a lipid panel. You can work with Quest or another lab of your choice directly to determine if coverage is available through your insurance plan. The cost of lab testing varies based on your insurance coverage and the labs near you.

Note that certain co-conditions, such as prediabetes and high cholesterol, may require additional ongoing testing. As part of the program, users outside of NY can get an included at-home lab test each quarter (Heart Health, Cholesterol & Lipids, HbA1c). At-home lab tests are not available to NY residents due to state regulation of laboratory testing. If more frequent testing is required, those tests would require an additional fee.

Medication (based on insurance coverage): Your clinical care team will work with you to identify the most affordable and effective medication based on your health needs and insurance coverage. With insurance, GLP-1 prescriptions are typically more affordable, but your exact cost will depend on your insurance plan. If you are uninsured, underinsured, or if the medication is not covered by your insurance, your provider may be able to help you find a prescription discount card. If you are unable to use insurance or a discount card, GLP-1 prescription medication costs may range from $900 to $1,400 for a one-month supply. Everlywell does not directly sell GLP-1 or other medications. Prescriptions can be filled at the pharmacy of your choice.

Your provider will direct you to have your lab testing performed at your nearest Quest laboratory. Additionally, if you have completed the required lab testing in the past six months, you can upload them for your clinician to review.

As part of the program, you will get to choose one of these at-home lab tests or supplements every three months*:

• Heart Health Test**
• HbA1c Test**
• Cholesterol & Lipids Test**
• Daily Multivitamin gummies (3-mo supply)

These have been selected to support preventive health and common conditions associated with weight care.

*You can place your first order after completing three months in the program.

** At-home lab tests are not available to NY residents due to state regulation of laboratory testing.

Due to state regulation of laboratory testing, we are currently unable to include at-home lab testing for NY residents.

This means that every three months, NY residents will be able to receive a 3-month supply of multivitamin gummies as part of the program. If additional lab testing is required, your clinician will write you a lab order for Quest or another lab, which may be covered by insurance.

The Everlywell Weight Care+ program requires a 3-month or 12-month commitment, depending on your plan. In certain extenuating circumstances, we will offer a refund or early cancellation:

• If you are not eligible for the program based on new lab results or factors that come to light after at least one virtual consult, you may cancel immediately but will not receive a refund for prior months.
• If your insurance will not cover medication or if medication is too costly for you to proceed with the program, we will allow you to cancel immediately but will not refund prior months.

If you have questions or would like to request a refund or cancellation, please contact our Customer Experience team at [email protected].
