GLP-1 weight loss medications range from about $109 to $349 per month at Body Good, depending on whether you choose compounded, oral, or brand, and how long a plan you commit to. If you have insurance, a separate navigation path may bring brand medication well below cash pricing — and you can check that for $25 before spending anything.
Every path, one table
No "starting at." Here is what each route actually costs.
| Item | First step | Ongoing |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded tirzepatide | $315 one-time consult | $259–$349/mo |
| Compounded semaglutide | $179 one-time | $139–$179/mo |
| Oral GLP-1 | $149 one-time | $109–$129/mo |
| Brand Rx (our service fee) | from $25 (6-mo plan) | medication billed via insurance/pharmacy |
| Insurance navigation | $25 eligibility check | $50 PA filing, then $75/mo |
The longer the plan, the lower the monthly rate — because consistency, not churn, is what actually works.
My honest take
Most companies in this space won't show you a price until you've handed over your email and sat through a call. Treat that as information: if the number were friendly, they'd lead with it. We lead with it. The cheapest path for you depends on your insurance and your dose — not on which option pays us the most, and we'll say so out loud on the call.
How to find your cheapest route in two steps
- Have insurance? Start with the $25 eligibility check. If your plan covers a GLP-1, the navigation path is often cheaper than any cash plan.
- Paying cash? Compounded is almost always the lowest-cost route; oral is the lowest entry point if you'd rather not inject.
