What GLP-1 Clinics Advertise: 2026 Price Report
We read the prices 730 US weight loss clinics publish on their websites. These are advertised price points, not full program costs. Here's what they show.
The Bottom Line
The median price that GLP-1 weight loss clinics advertise is $239 a month, with the middle half of listed prices between $150 and $399. That is what clinics publish, not what a full program costs: an advertised figure may leave out the consultation, lab work, higher doses or a minimum program length. For comparison, brand-name Wegovy lists at about $1,349 a month, and Novo Nordisk sells the pens for $349 a month through its own self-pay program.
Key Findings
Half of the 483 listed monthly prices fall in this band. The median is $239/mo. Brand-name Wegovy lists at $1,349/mo; the manufacturer's own self-pay price for the pens is $349/mo.
Semaglutide: $206/mo median. Tirzepatide: $249/mo median. Tirzepatide is advertised slightly higher.
Lowest state median: Pennsylvania ($90/mo). Highest: Wisconsin ($600/mo). Each state needs at least three listed prices to count.
Telehealth clinics advertise a median of $200/mo vs. $275/mo at in-person clinics. The telehealth median is lower.
Clinic Prices vs. Brand-Name Prices
Advertised clinic prices beside the brand-name list price and the manufacturer's own self-pay price. Three different kinds of number; read the note under each.
What this comparison can and cannot tell you. It shows that clinics advertise headline prices well below the brand list price, and in the same range as the manufacturers' self-pay programs. It cannot tell you what a full course of treatment costs at any clinic, because we have not established whether an advertised price includes all costs, and it cannot tell you whether a clinic price is for a brand-name or a compounded product. Get a written full-program quote and compare it with the manufacturer's self-pay price for the same medication.

Telehealth vs. In-Person
Do virtual and in-person clinics advertise different prices?
Advertised Price by State
Median advertised monthly price by state, lowest to highest. States with fewer than three listed prices are excluded. Multiple prices may come from the same clinic. In the headline lists, each median shows its contributing clinic count; fewer than three clinics is marked “small sample.” “Priced” is the number of clinics in the state publishing a comparable monthly price; the Compare link counts every clinic listed there.

Methodology
This report is based on publicly listed pricing information read from 730 weight loss clinic websites across the United States, mostly in March 2026, with a small number of prices re-observed in September 2026. Our dataset includes clinics from our directory of 3,318 GLP-1 providers nationwide.
After the filters below, 483 prices from 326 of those clinics feed the figures on this page. The rest publish a price in a form that is not comparable to a monthly rate, such as per-injection or per-visit. A historical snapshot of the individual price points, as they stood on August 2026, is archived at doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.21843006; the live figures on this page can differ from it.
What we included
- Monthly subscription and starting-at prices listed on clinic websites. These are advertised price points, not standardized all-in treatment costs: a starting price is the lowest tier a clinic lists, and an advertised monthly figure may carry conditions (a starting dose, a promotional period, a minimum program length, a separate consult or lab fee) that are stated on the clinic's own page and, where we have recorded them, beside the price on its listing here. Only a small number of records carry such a note today
- Prices without a verified billing period are excluded from monthly statistics. 553 in-band price points are held out for that reason; they still appear on the clinic's listing, labelled “Billing period unverified.” A starting-at price that states a weekly or per-visit period is excluded as well
- Prices between $50 and $1,500 per month (outliers excluded)
- Prices for compounded and brand-name products alike. The dataset has no field that says which a price is for, so nothing on this page separates the two (how they differ)
- Telehealth and in-person clinic pricing
What we excluded
- Per-dose, per-injection, and per-visit pricing (not directly comparable to monthly rates)
- Insurance-negotiated rates and copay amounts
- Prices below $50/mo or above $1,500/mo (likely data errors or outliers)
- Clinics without publicly listed pricing
How we calculated
- Median (not mean) used to reduce impact of outliers
- 25th and 75th percentiles represent the typical range of advertised monthly price points, not what a patient ends up paying
- State-level statistics require at least 3 data points
- Brand-name figures are the manufacturers' published list prices and NovoCare's published self-pay price, checked against the manufacturers' own pages on September 21, 2026; they are reviewed on a schedule and the sources are listed on our medication pages

The download is a historical snapshot as of August 2026. The August 2026 archive uses an earlier method that included “starting at” prices without a confirmed billing period. The current report includes only prices with a verified monthly billing period, so its figures differ from the archive. The figures on this page are computed live from our directory and change as clinics add, correct or remove prices, so the live numbers and the snapshot are not the same dataset and will differ. States with fewer than 3 price points are left blank rather than estimated.
The same snapshot is archived with a permanent DOI at Zenodo, where each price point in it is listed individually. Clinics are not named there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Across 483 advertised monthly prices from 326 US clinics, the median is $239/month, and the middle half of listed prices falls between $150 and $399. These are the figures clinics publish on their websites. We do not record what each price includes, so the full program price a clinic quotes you can be higher.
Not in a way this data can settle. The median advertised clinic price for semaglutide is $206/month, against a brand-name Wegovy list price of about $1,349/month. A list price is the manufacturer's published price before insurance or discounts; Novo Nordisk also sells Wegovy pens for $349/month through its own self-pay program. And a clinic's advertised figure may not include consultations, lab work or higher doses. Compare the full program price a clinic quotes you with the manufacturer's self-pay price before deciding.
The lowest state medians in our data are Pennsylvania ($90/mo), Louisiana ($150/mo), Nebraska ($150/mo). Each state figure needs at least three listed prices, and a median of advertised prices says nothing about what a given clinic includes, so treat these as a starting point for comparison rather than a verdict on where treatment is cheapest.
Among clinics that name the medication, the median advertised price is $206/month for semaglutide and $249/month for tirzepatide. Tirzepatide is advertised slightly higher. Our data does not distinguish compounded from brand-name products.
We do not know, and you should assume not. The dataset records the price a clinic advertises, not what it covers. A starting price is the lowest tier a clinic lists, and a monthly figure may leave out the consultation, lab work, higher doses or a required program length. Where a clinic states such a condition and we have recorded it, it appears beside the price on that clinic's listing. Ask any clinic for a written full-program quote before you commit.
Prices were read from publicly listed rates on clinic websites across the United States, mostly in March 2026, with a small number re-observed in September 2026. We included monthly and starting-at prices between $50 and $1,500 and excluded per-dose, per-injection and per-visit pricing. 730 clinics in our directory publish a price of some kind; 326 of them publish one that meets those rules, and their 483 prices produce the figures on this page.
Compounded GLP-1s are made by pharmacies, not by the drug's manufacturer, and they are not FDA-approved products. The FDA declared the tirzepatide shortage over in December 2024 and the semaglutide shortage over in February 2025. Since then a state-licensed 503A pharmacy may not regularly compound what is essentially a copy of an approved drug; one exception is when the prescriber determines and documents a change that produces a significant difference for that patient, and other federal and state compounding requirements still apply. If a clinic offers a compounded version, ask why it is permitted in your case and which licensed pharmacy makes it.

It depends on the plan. Wegovy and Zepbound are FDA-approved for weight loss and some plans cover them, usually with prior authorization. Our insurance guides cover the major carriers, Medicare and Medicaid. This report has no data on what insured patients pay, so it cannot compare cash prices with copays.
