Pros & Cons Compared
Found
Pros
- +Active insurance coordination — Found contacts your insurer and reports which GLP-1s are covered, prior auth requirements, and estimated copay

- +Typical insured copay of ~$30/mo for most members — dramatically lower than cash-pay alternatives
- +Most members start treatment within one week of completing the health questionnaire
Cons
- −Pricing is less transparent than flat-rate competitors — costs vary by insurance status and medication choice
