General Medicine: what it costs and how it works

General Medicine is one of five independent telehealth companies Eli Lilly lists on its own site for obesity care, and it is the only one on that panel with no membership. Lilly publishes its price as $30 for a self-pay chat visit, or $25 a visit on average where commercial, Medicare or Medicaid coverage applies. Those figures buy the care and not the medication.
