Either way, you'll know where you stand on GLP-1 insurance coverage before you commit.
Covered
$49/mo membership + your copay
Membership fees can't go through insurance.
Good news. You pay your Lemonaid membership fee plus any copay or costs your plan requires.
Not covered
$49/mo membership + compounded treatment
Compounded medication, cash-pay, new customer discounts.
Not a dead end. Switch to our compounded options, with clear out-of-pocket prices.
Pricing and safety details
A healthcare provider may prescribe a compounded drug if determined that it is medically appropriate. Compounded products are not approved or verified by the FDA.
Compounded medications are cash-pay only and are not billed to insurance, so you'll need to pay out of pocket. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and medication. Lemonaid Health cannot accept insurance for membership fees.
The rules keep changing
Coverage is shrinking. Check your current coverage.

Plain answers
GLP-1 insurance coverage FAQs
Straight answers on what insurance covers, what we check and what it costs.
Will my insurance cover GLP-1s?
It depends on your plan and the medication. Lemonaid checks your plan's coverage for Ozempic® and Wegovy®, free, and your results are personalized to your plan and insurance carrier.
If your medication is covered, you'll pay your Lemonaid membership fee plus any copay or other costs required by your insurance plan.
We check private and employer plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid plans.
Does insurance cover Wegovy®?
Some plans do, and many add conditions such as prior authorization (your insurer agreeing to pay before you start). Wegovy® is FDA-approved for weight loss. Share your plan details and we'll check your Wegovy® coverage for you, free.
Does insurance cover Ozempic® for weight loss?
It depends on your plan. Ozempic® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes treatment but may be prescribed off-label for weight loss at a provider's discretion and professional judgement. We'll check what your plan says about Ozempic® for you.
What do I need to check my coverage?
Just your insurance card: your insurance company, your member ID and your group number, if your card has one. We check private and employer plans, as well as Medicare and Medicaid plans.
What if I'm not covered?
You still have options. If not eligible, switch to our compounded options for easy out of pocket options: from $149/mo plus the $49/mo membership, billed separately.
Compounded medications are cash-pay only and are not billed to insurance, so you'll need to pay out of pocket. A healthcare provider may prescribe a compounded drug if determined that it is medically appropriate. Compounded products are not approved or verified by the FDA for safety, effectiveness, or quality.
Do you check Zepbound®?
No. Zepbound® vials aren't part of the coverage check. Zepbound single-dose vials are offered via LillyDirect and are available as a cash pay-only offering starting at $299/mo for the 2.5 mg dose and $449 for higher dosages. LillyDirect has the ability to change the price.
Can I use insurance for the membership fee?
No. Lemonaid Health cannot accept insurance for membership fees. Monthly membership terms are $49/month.
Am I eligible for GLP-1s?
Eligibility depends on your individual health history, BMI, current medications, and other factors. You'll complete an online assessment and consultation with a licensed medical provider who will determine whether GLP-1 treatment is medically appropriate for you.
Important safety information
Side effects of GLP-1 medications may be serious, including increased risk of thyroid tumors and cancer; do not use if you or your family have a history of MTC or MEN 2. Individual weight loss results may vary.
