How to read this

Found (semaglutide)

Found charges a flat $289 per month for semaglutide at every dose from 0.25 to 2.4 mg per week, so titrating upward does not change what you pay.

Found (tirzepatide)

Hims & Hers (semaglutide)

Hims & Hers publishes the same price, $453 a month, at 0.25 and 2.4 mg per week and nothing at 0.5, 1, 1.7 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated. After settling with Novo Nordisk on March 9, 2026 and exiting compounded semaglutide for new patients, Hims & Hers now runs a branded-only GLP-1 service: Wegovy injection $299/month, oral Wegovy $249/month, and Zepbound $399/month, on top of a $149/month membership ($39 first month) plus $5 shipping.

Hims & Hers (tirzepatide)

Hims & Hers publishes the same price, $548 a month, at 2.5 and 10 mg per week and nothing at 5, 7.5, 12.5, 15 mg, so those doses are left blank rather than estimated.

Questions

How is this list ordered?

Routed by coverage rather than cash price, because a covered copay beats every cash figure in this database. Every program that meets the criterion is listed alphabetically. The Value Score shown beside each program is computed from its price, evidence status, dose policy and membership.

How current are these prices?
