How LifeMD compares

LifeMD is one of the largest US telehealth companies and offers weight management as part of a broad platform that also covers men's health (via RexMD), hair loss, skincare, and primary care. Its scale and pharmaceutical partnerships distinguish it from boutique GLP-1 platforms: LifeMD is an official telehealth partner for both Eli Lilly's LillyDirect and Novo Nordisk's NovoCare programs, giving patients access to manufacturer-direct pricing for Wegovy and Zepbound. Compared to Noom Med, LifeMD offers a lighter behavioral component and a more clinical primary care feel; compared to Hims/Hers, LifeMD's weight management program is slightly more clinically structured, with lab-based evaluation and Medicare coverage. The program fee is competitive at $75/month on an annual plan.

About

LifeMD is a publicly traded (NASDAQ: LFMD) direct-to-patient telehealth company headquartered in New York that operates across all 50 states and covers weight management, men''s health (RexMD), hair loss, skincare, and primary care through a single integrated platform. The company''s weight management program launched as GLP-1 medications transformed the obesity treatment landscape, and LifeMD has since built its clinical infrastructure around making those medications accessible and affordable through strategic pharmaceutical partnerships. LifeMD is an authorized telehealth partner for Eli Lilly''s LillyDirect and Novo Nordisk''s NovoCare platforms. These partnerships give LifeMD patients access to manufacturer-direct pricing for Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) — $349/month for Zepbound 2.5mg and $499/month for 5mg through the Lilly program — pricing tiers that bypass the standard retail pharmacy cost structure that makes brand-name GLP-1s unaffordable for uninsured patients. Wegovy is similarly available through NovoCare''s savings program, which LifeMD facilitates. The weight management program starts at $75/month on an annual plan and covers clinician consultations, lab evaluation, and care coordination. Medication costs are billed separately through insurance, manufacturer programs, or out-of-pocket. LifeMD is one of the few GLP-1 telehealth platforms that accepts traditional Medicare for clinical care, making it accessible to patients over 65 in most states — a population largely underserved by consumer-focused GLP-1 startups. RexMD, LifeMD''s men''s health arm, serves a complementary patient population and shares the same underlying provider network and platform infrastructure. Men managing weight alongside testosterone, sexual health, or hair loss concerns can access both programs through a single account. LifeMD does not offer compounded GLP-1 medications or a structured behavioral coaching curriculum comparable to Calibrate or Noom Med. The platform is best understood as a clinically credible, scalable telehealth company with strong pharmaceutical relationships — a meaningful option for patients who want brand-name GLP-1 access at reduced manufacturer pricing, or who want the reassurance of a publicly accountable company with national scale managing their care.

Pricing

LifeMD weight management starts at $75/month on an annual plan (or $129/month for the Triple Therapy subscription), covering clinical visits and care coordination but not medication. Zepbound is available at $349/month (2.5mg vial) or $499/month (5mg) through LifeMD's Eli Lilly partnership. Wegovy is available through Novo Nordisk's NovoCare savings program. Traditional Medicare patients in most states can use Medicare benefits to cover the cost of LifeMD care. Private insurance support for brand-name GLP-1 medications is facilitated through the platform's insurance benefits check service.

Who this is best for

Adults — particularly men who may also use the RexMD men's health platform — who want GLP-1 weight management through a large, established telehealth company with pharmaceutical manufacturer partnerships that can reduce brand-name medication costs. LifeMD is also one of the few GLP-1 telehealth platforms with Medicare acceptance for clinical care, making it accessible to older adults. It is not the ideal choice for patients who want intensive behavioral coaching, a structured twelve-month program, or compounded GLP-1 medications.

What to expect

After completing LifeMD's online health questionnaire, you are matched with a licensed healthcare provider who reviews your submission and determines treatment eligibility — typically within a few business days. If approved for GLP-1 medication, you undergo a metabolic lab panel (included in the evaluation process) to personalize your treatment plan. Your provider creates a customized weight loss plan and writes a GLP-1 prescription. Ongoing care includes regular provider check-ins, dose monitoring, and access to LifeMD's app for tracking and messaging. Medicare patients are handled through a coordinated insurance workflow.

How to book

Visit lifemd.com/weight-management and complete the online health intake questionnaire. Select your preferred plan (annual at $75/month or month-to-month). A LifeMD provider reviews your information and contacts you — typically within one to three business days — to discuss your treatment plan. Lab work is coordinated through the platform before your first prescription is issued.
