Visits: If we accept your insurance, your visits with our providers and dietitians are billed to your plan like any doctor’s visit, with no membership fee. You pay only your plan’s standard cost-sharing — copays, coinsurance, and deductible. We confirm whether we accept your plan when you sign up, and our billing team emails you a clear breakdown of what to expect.

Medications: If your Shapely provider determines that a GLP-1 is appropriate for you, coverage depends on your plan and medical conditions — but most patients have a path forward:

• Medicare: Through the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (July 2026 – December 2027), eligible Part D members can fill prescriptions for Wegovy®, Zepbound®, and more for $50 a month. Outside the Bridge, Part D also covers GLP-1s for Type 2 diabetes, established cardiovascular disease, moderate-to-severe sleep apnea, and MASH with fibrosis. Learn more about the Bridge.
• Commercial insurance: Many plans cover GLP-1s for weight management with prior authorization; some exclude them. Copays vary by plan.
• If your plan doesn’t cover it: You still have options. We offer affordable self-pay medications so your care can continue without interruption.

If a GLP-1 is prescribed, we handle the prior authorization for you. Your exact medication cost isn’t known until your plan makes its decision, and we’ll walk you through it as soon as we hear back — including self-pay options if needed.
