Provider
branded Accepts insuranceLifeMD: what it costs and how it works
LifeMD sells the membership and the medication as two charges, which is unusual in this category and matters when you compare it with buying direct. The membership is $39 for the first month and $149 a month after that, and it explicitly does not include medication.
The pricing and the detail
Branded medication is listed from $199 for a Wegovy pen and $299 a month for a Zepbound vial. Unlike most cash-pay competitors it accepts commercial PPO insurance and handles prior authorization in house, and it advertises as low as a $25 copay for branded GLP-1s where a plan covers them. It sends the prescription to your own local pharmacy rather than a captive one.
