The Shocking Truth About Weight Loss Programs
Behind the glitz and glamour of today’s most popular weight loss programs lies a hidden reality—the outrageous cost that many consumers don’t realize until it’s too late.
Programs like Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig, and Medifast often hide their true costs until you’ve already committed. And even more shocking? Most insurance companies won’t cover weight loss programs—considering them “elective” rather than essential to your health.
- Expensive, out-of-pocket costs can quickly drain your budget
- Limited or no insurance coverage makes traditional programs inaccessible
- Misleading pricing leaves many paying far more than expected
But there’s good news! Thanks to the recent FDA approval of a new class of weight loss medication, achieving your health goals is now more affordable and more effective than ever before.

Financing A New Way of Losing Weight
Coverage for weight loss medications is not widely available. Checking with your insurance company is so important to see if you are covered and understand the cost at hand. Our medicine comes with no monthly membership fees, no contracts, no annual fees, no hidden costs, not ever.
I have employer-covered and/or private insurance
Employers decide on prescription benefits for their employees. Don’t be discouraged if your company’s plan doesn’t include medical weight loss treatment. You can use your HSA (Health Savings Account) to cover the costs of our treatment plans.
I have Medicare coverage
Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover medicines for obesity. There may be some select Medigap and Medicare Advantage plans for retirees that do offer coverage. If you have one of these plans, please check with its administrator.
I have Medicaid coverage
You’ll need to contact your state’s Medicaid office to learn if it covers medicines for weight management and obesity because each state decides for itself what prescription drugs to cover through Medicaid.
I have VA coverage
The VA will cover obesity management. Head to your local Veterans Administration provider office to discuss the obesity medication options.
Will Tricare cover my medication?
Sometimes, Tricare does cover this medication. Your healthcare provider can request a coverage review to check eligibility. Contact your Military Treatment Facility or Tricare Network provider for more details.
What if I'm a government employee with insurance benefits?
If you work for the city, state, or federal government, ask your benefits manager about coverage for obesity medications. They can guide you on your options.
What if I have individual or family insurance coverage?
Check with your insurance company to see if you’re eligible for an upgrade or add-on to your plan. They can provide the details.
I don't have insurance or know my insurance won't cover it.
We accept HSA cards and have a 6 Months same as cash financing option. The good news is your treatment plan might cost less than you think! Please contact us for more information.

On June 4, 2021 FDA approval was granted for the first new class of weight-loss medications, Semaglutide or GLP-1.
This new medication has shown such great results for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol), for use in addition to a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity.
