About Medi-Weightloss
A new-patient visit at Medi-Weightloss runs about $199 and covers a medical assessment, labs and a GLP-1 eligibility review; what medication costs after that depends on the plan. The physician-supervised brand has 130-plus locations nationwide alongside telehealth, and prescribes branded Wegovy and Zepbound, compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, plus older agents such as phentermine. Programs are evidence-based and include body-composition analysis and personalized plans. Insurance is accepted at many locations, and HSA/FSA funds are welcome.
