SUBSCRIPTION FEE tiers, from the FAQ 'What are my subscription pricing options?': 'Month-to-Month Plan: Billed every month at $99 per month' / '3-Month Plan: Billed every 3 months, offering a savings of $60 every 3 months' (=$79/mo) / '6-Month Plan: Billed every 6 months, offering a savings of $180 every 6 months' (=$69/mo) / 'Annual Plan: …a savings of $480 per year compared to the monthly plan' (=$59/mo). MEDICATION dose ladders (billed separately, self-pay): Wegovy pill 'Price without insurance: $149/mo (1.5mg, 4mg) or $299/mo (9mg, 25mg)'; Zepbound KwikPen 'Price without insurance: $299/mo (2.5mg), $398/mo (5mg), $499/mo (7.5mg), $698/mo (10mg, 12.5mg, 15mg)'; Foundayo (orforglipron, not a GLP-1) 'Price without insurance: $149/mo (0.8mg), $199/mo (2.5mg), $299/mo (5.5mg, 9mg), $349/mo (14.5mg, 17.2mg)'.

NOTE: the same FAQ also advertises a $199/mo intro rate for the first two months of Wegovy/Ozempic injections, but its own stated terms say that offer 'is effective beginning November 17, 2025 and is valid through June 30, 2026', that window has passed as of this 2026-07-25 check, so it is NOT recorded as current pricing; the $349–$499/mo standard self-pay rate above is what's active.
