About Knownwell
Copays fall as low as $25 where a patient is covered, and many insurance plans are taken. Knownwell calls itself weight-inclusive, combining metabolic with primary care; obesity-medicine specialist Dr. Angela Fitch co-founded it. Its drug list is branded: Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Saxenda, plus Foundayo, the GLP-1 taken by mouth. Virtual appointments run in all 50 states, with clinics in Boston, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth and Atlanta. It is a LillyDirect care provider and partners with Novo Nordisk on telehealth for the Wegovy pill. Dietitians and coaches work under physician oversight.

No steady-state price is published, though discounts run from time to time. LaSara Medical Group operates nationally by telehealth and will see patients in person in southern California. Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide share a menu with TRT, NAD+, sermorelin, B12 and enclomiphene, making this a multi-modality clinic rather than a GLP-1 specialist. A free consultation opens the process, and a doctor must approve.
