What does my insurance cover?
We navigate insurance on your behalf and are able to work with the vast majority of insurances to get cost-effective access to GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Wegovy. For patients with commercial insurance, medication co-pays are typically $25 per month but depending on the plan may be higher. At this time, Medicare only covers these medications for patients with diabetes.
If you do not have insurance, or if insurance doesn't cover the cost, we offer an accessibility program and will send your prescriptions to a compounding pharmacy. Labs are also typically covered by insurance though there may be a co-pay. For patients without insurance, we offer labs for a flat-rate of $75, requiring you to go to a Labcorp location for lab draw.

What if I don’t have insurance?
For patients who do not have insurance or whose insurance does not cover the cost of medication, Shapely offers an accessibility program. We partner with compounding pharmacies to allow you to affordably access the medications you need, including compounded semaglutide starting from $149 per month and compounded tirzepatide starting from $249 per month. For patients without insurance, we have also partnered with LabCorp to to offer a comprehensive lab-panel for a flat-rate of $75.
How much weight will I lose?
Typically, patients started on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy can lose up to 15% of their weight. With Mounjaro and Zepbound, weight loss can be as much as 20%. Note that results are not guaranteed and may vary. With other medications, weight loss can be up to 10%. Ultimately, your weight loss journey is a personal one, and your Shapely team will be by your side to help you achieve your best results
How long will it take me to lose weight?
Typically, we find that patients taking GLP-1 agonists such as Ozempic and Wegovy will lose 10% of weight by 6 months and 15% within 1 year. Results will vary by patient, intervention, and medication prescribed (if appropriate). We find that patients benefit from at least a 12 month comprehensive weight-loss program to establish the proper habits to sustain long-term weight loss
What if I'm ineligible for a GLP-1 agonist?
If you are not a good candidate for GLP-1 agonists, our providers will offer different modalities of weight loss for you, including alternative medications, lifestyle modification, continuous glucose monitoring, and other tools.
Will I need labs as a Shapely patient?
Recent labs are strongly recommended (but not required) prior to initiation of most weight loss medications. We will either order labs for you or accept labs completed within 6 months prior to program enrollment. Labs are typically covered by insurance though there may be a co-pay. For patients without insurance, we offer labs for a flat-rate of $75, requiring you to go to a Labcorp location for lab draw.
