Sesame Care GLP-1 Review

Telehealth marketplace offering both a low-cost consultation model ($25/visit) and the new Success by Sesame membership program ($59/mo on 3/6/12-month plans) that bundles FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 medications — including Foundayo (orforglipron), Wegovy pen and pill, and Zepbound.

Sesame Care scores 7.9/10 in our independent review, starting at $99/mo for brand-name and compounded GLP-1 medications. Telehealth marketplace offering both a low-cost consultation model ($25/visit) and the new Success by Sesame membership program ($59/mo on 3/6/12-month plans) that bundles FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 medications — including Foundayo (orforglipron), Wegovy pen and pill, and Zepbound.

What makes it different: The broadest FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 menu among low-cost telehealth options — Wegovy pen and pill, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro, Rybelsus, and Foundayo — bundled through the new Success by Sesame membership at $59/mo.

Sesame Care Pros and Cons

What We Like

  • +Success by Sesame program launched 2026 — $59/mo on a 3/6/12-month plan, bundles labs, unlimited messaging, and provider choice
  • +Brand-name cash pricing is competitive — Wegovy pen $199 intro / $349 ongoing, Zepbound vial $299, Wegovy pill $149
  • +Foundayo (Lilly's FDA-approved oral GLP-1) available as of April 2026 at $149/mo
  • +Original pay-per-visit model still available at $25/consultation for users who just need a prescriber

What Could Be Better

  • Membership model adds complexity — two distinct products (pay-per-visit vs Success membership) can be confusing
  • Success by Sesame requires a 3-month minimum commitment to hit the $59/mo rate
  • Compounded meds are de-emphasized on the current marketing — focus has shifted to FDA-approved brand-name paths
  • Less hand-holding than dedicated subscription platforms like Willow or Eden Health

How Sesame Care works

1

Book a $25 Consultation

Choose a provider and book a telehealth visit for as low as $25. No subscription required — Sesame Care operates on a pay-per-visit model.

2

Get Your Prescription

During your consultation, the provider evaluates your eligibility and writes a GLP-1 prescription. You take the prescription to your pharmacy or use Sesame's pharmacy partner.

3

Fill at Your Pharmacy

Use your insurance to fill brand-name prescriptions at any pharmacy, or use Sesame's compounded pharmacy partner. Medication cost is separate from the consultation fee.

Common questions

Questions readers ask about Sesame Care, similar providers to compare, and quick tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the $25 include medication?+
No. The $25 is for the doctor consultation only. You fill your prescription separately — either through your insurance at a retail pharmacy or through Sesame's compounded pharmacy partner.
Can I use Sesame Care for ongoing refills?+
Yes. Book follow-up consultations as needed for $25 each. There's no monthly subscription — you only pay when you need a visit.
What if I don't have insurance?+
You can still use Sesame Care for the consultation, then fill a compounded prescription through their pharmacy partner for $99-199/mo. However, all-inclusive platforms like MEDVi ($179/mo) or Strut Health ($99/mo oral) may be a better value.
How does this compare to subscription platforms?+
Sesame Care is consultation-only. Subscription platforms like Willow, Henry Meds, or Fridays bundle the consultation, medication, and shipping into one monthly fee. Sesame is cheapest if you have insurance covering the medication itself.
