How does Legacy Meds personalize my weight loss plan?

We begin by learning more about you. You’ll share information about your health history, current symptoms, and treatment preferences so we can build a complete and secure health profile. This allows your provider to understand your unique needs and create a personalized medical record. Using this information, your provider will recommend a weight loss plan tailored to your specific needs. With a range of treatment options available, your care plan is designed to support your health goals safely, effectively, and sustainably.

What kind of results can I expect with the Legacy Meds Weight Loss Program?

With the right support, meaningful change is possible. Many Legacy Meds members work toward losing an average of 15–20% of their body weight over approximately one year by combining compounded GLP-1 medications—semaglutide or tirzepatide—with a personalized weight-loss plan designed around their individual needs. Your journey is fully supported by the Legacy Meds Care Team and a dedicated coach who offers guidance, encouragement, and accountability along the way—helping you build healthier habits and confidence for the long term. Results vary from person to person, and weight loss is not guaranteed.

Weight Loss Medications

What medications does Legacy Meds prescribe?

Your care is always personalized. After reviewing your intake and medical history, a licensed Legacy Meds provider may prescribe medication if it’s clinically appropriate for you. Legacy Meds focuses exclusively on GLP-1 weight loss treatment: compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic) for $179/month, and compounded tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound and Mounjaro) for $299/month. These medications can help reduce appetite and support weight loss by helping you feel satisfied with fewer calories. All medications are prescribed based on medical evaluation, individual health factors, and provider judgment. Results vary, and medication is not guaranteed. Ready to take the next step?

Get started here: https://app.legacymeds.org/wl-11705-v2/intake-1

Does Legacy Meds prescribe Zepbound, Wegovy, Ozempic, or Mounjaro?

Legacy Meds focuses on compounded GLP-1 medications rather than brand-name products. Our licensed healthcare providers may prescribe compounded semaglutide — the same active ingredient found in Wegovy and Ozempic — or compounded tirzepatide — the same active ingredient found in Zepbound and Mounjaro — when clinically appropriate and based on your individual health history and needs. Compounded options let us offer flat, affordable pricing ($179/month for semaglutide, $299/month for tirzepatide) without insurance. All medications are prescribed based on provider evaluation, medical necessity, and individual eligibility. Availability and outcomes may vary.

Is Semaglutide the same as Wegovy and Ozempic?

Semaglutide is the active ingredient in FDA-approved medications like Wegovy and Ozempic. Compounded semaglutide from Legacy Meds is a more affordable way to access the same active ingredient — no insurance needed. For clinically eligible members, providers may prescribe semaglutide as part of a personalized weight-loss plan, with convenient monthly shipments at a flat $179 per month. All medications are prescribed only after a provider evaluation and based on individual medical needs. Availability and results may vary. You can learn more about your options here: https://app.legacymeds.org/wl-11705-v2/intake-1

Can I purchase multiple months of compound GLP-1?

Legacy Meds keeps pricing simple with one flat monthly rate: $179 per month for compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy) and $299 per month for compounded tirzepatide — the same price every month, at every dose. Your medication ships monthly so your provider can monitor your progress and adjust your dose as needed. Because ongoing medical oversight is important while taking prescription medication, all medications are prescribed only when clinically appropriate and require active provider oversight. Pricing, availability, and results may vary.

Get started here:
https://app.legacymeds.org/wl-11705-v2/intake-1

We offer compound GLP-1 like Semaglutide which is the main active ingredient in Wegovy for $179/month. We also offer Tirzepatide which is the main active ingredient in Zepbound for $299/month. We’ll ship your compound GLP-1 straight to your door — no prior authorization and no insurance required, with free shipping included at the same flat price every month.

If I order a compounded GLP-1 medication, how long will it take to arrive?

We want to help your treatment start as smoothly as possible. To avoid delays, be sure to complete all questions in your intake form and respond promptly if your provider reaches out with any follow-up questions. Once your provider has reviewed your request and, if approved, prescribed semaglutide or tirzepatide, it typically takes 2–7 business days for the pharmacy to process your order and ship it using 2-day delivery. Most members receive their medication within 2–9 business days after their provider finalizes the treatment plan. Timing may vary based on pharmacy processing, shipping location, and clinical review.

Can you ship medication to my home?

Yes! For clinically eligible members, Legacy Meds ships compounded GLP-1 medications—semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy) or tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound)—directly to your home for added convenience. Shipping is fast and free, and pricing is a flat $179 per month for semaglutide and $299 per month for tirzepatide. All medications are prescribed by a licensed provider and shipped by a partner pharmacy after provider approval. Availability and delivery timing may vary based on clinical review and location.

If I order a 3-month supply of semaglutide or tirzepatide, will it arrive in one package?

Members receive a one-month supply of semaglutide or tirzepatide in each shipment, with each vial containing a one-month supply of medication. Your personalized dosing instructions are always available in your secure Legacy Meds portal. All medications are shipped following provider approval. Delivery timelines may vary depending on pharmacy processing and state regulations.

Are GLP-1 medications safe?

GLP-1 medications have been widely studied and are commonly used as part of medically supervised weight-loss care. Some GLP-1 medications—such as Wegovy and Zepbound—are FDA-approved for weight loss and have been shown in clinical studies to help many people lose weight and maintain results when used as directed. Other options, such as compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide, may be prescribed off-label for weight loss when a licensed provider determines they are appropriate based on an individual’s health profile. As with any medication, GLP-1 treatments are not right for everyone. All medications at Legacy Meds are prescribed only after a thorough provider evaluation, and safety, potential risks, and benefits are reviewed as part of your care. Individual results and experiences may vary.

Does my membership include medication costs?

Yes. Legacy Meds has no separate membership fee — your flat monthly price includes your medication when prescribed. Compounded semaglutide is $179 per month and compounded tirzepatide is $299 per month, and both include your provider consultations, the prescription process, supplies, and free shipping. There are no hidden fees, and no insurance is required. All medications are prescribed based on provider evaluation, medical necessity, and individual eligibility. Availability may vary.

Are there side effects to GLP-1 medications?

Like all medications, GLP-1 treatments can have side effects, and experiences may vary from person to person. Your Legacy Meds provider will work closely with you to select a medication and dosage that aligns with your health history, preferences, and goals. If you experience any side effects, it’s important to log them in your Legacy Meds portal so your care team can monitor your response and adjust your treatment if needed. Your provider will review potential risks and benefits with you and is available to support you throughout your care. All medications are prescribed based on provider evaluation and clinical appropriateness.

Will my provider ever deny my prescription?

Your Legacy Meds provider’s priority is your safety and long-term success. After reviewing your intake and medical history, your provider will recommend the treatment plan that is most appropriate for you, which may or may not include a specific medication such as a GLP-1. If you have a medication preference, you’re encouraged to share it with your provider through unlimited secure messaging. While preferences are always considered, prescriptions are made based on clinical judgment, medical appropriateness, and individual health factors. Not all medications are right for every person, and prescribing decisions are guided by safety, effectiveness, and your overall health.

Do I need to make changes to my diet?

Healthy changes look different for everyone. If a GLP-1 medication is part of your plan, you may notice reduced appetite or fewer cravings, which can make healthier choices feel more manageable. Your Legacy Meds weight-loss coach will work with you to build a balanced, realistic approach to nutrition and physical activity that fits your lifestyle and supports your goals. Any recommendations are personalized and designed to be sustainable—not restrictive. Diet and activity guidance is provided as part of a comprehensive care plan and may vary based on individual needs and provider recommendations.

When will I be charged for semaglutide or tirzepatide?

You’ll only be charged for medication if it’s prescribed. If your Legacy Meds provider determines that semaglutide or tirzepatide is clinically appropriate for you, payment is processed after the provider sends the prescription to one of our partner pharmacies for shipment to your home. Once your payment is successful and the pharmacy receives the order, you’ll receive a receipt from our team for your records. Charging and fulfillment timing may vary slightly based on pharmacy processing.

How are GLP-1 medications taken?

GLP-1 medications can be taken in different ways, depending on your treatment plan. Many GLP-1 medications are administered as a once-weekly injection using a very small needle, similar to an insulin pen. These injections are typically given just under the skin, often in the abdomen. In some cases, oral GLP-1 options may also be available and prescribed when clinically appropriate. Your Legacy Meds provider will review your recommended treatment plan with you and provide clear instructions on how to take your medication safely. It’s important to follow your provider’s guidance and review your plan in the Legacy Meds portal before starting or changing any medication. All medications are prescribed based on provider evaluation and individual medical need.

Insurance Coverage

What is a prior authorization?

A prior authorization (often called a “PA”) is a step some insurance plans require before they agree to cover certain medications. Because Legacy Meds doesn’t bill insurance, no prior authorization is ever needed. Your flat monthly price — $179 for compounded semaglutide or $299 for compounded tirzepatide — covers your consultation, medication, supplies, and shipping, so if your provider prescribes treatment, your medication ships without any insurance paperwork or waiting on approval decisions.

Do you accept insurance?

No insurance is needed at Legacy Meds. Our pricing is a flat monthly rate — $179 per month for compounded semaglutide (the active ingredient in Wegovy) and $299 per month for compounded tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Zepbound) — which includes your provider consultation, prescription process, medication, supplies, and free shipping. There are no copays, no prior authorizations, and no hidden fees. Payments may also be HSA/FSA eligible. All medications are prescribed based on provider evaluation and medical necessity.

Do you accept government insurance?

At this time, the Legacy Meds Weight Loss Program is not available to members using government insurance plans, such as Medicare or Medicaid. This helps ensure Legacy Meds remains compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. We understand this may be disappointing, and we’re committed to expanding access where possible in the future. Eligibility and program availability may change over time.

Doctor + GLP-1 Membership Option

What is the Legacy Meds Weight Loss Doctor + GLP-1 Plan?

The Legacy Meds Weight Loss Doctor + GLP-1 Plan bundles everything you need for medically guided weight loss into one flat monthly price. Legacy Meds offers two choices, depending on the medication prescribed and your individual needs.

Semaglutide (Compounded GLP-1): $179 per month
Tirzepatide (Compounded GLP-1/GIP): $299 per month

Each plan includes ongoing medical care, a provider review, a written prescription for semaglutide or tirzepatide (when clinically appropriate), and medication shipped free directly to your home — the same price at every dose. If you’re found not to be clinically eligible for semaglutide or tirzepatide, you’re eligible for a full refund—no questions asked. All medications are prescribed based on provider evaluation, medical necessity, and individual eligibility. Results may vary. Get started here:

No. Your compounded GLP-1 medication is included in your flat monthly price when it is prescribed and clinically appropriate. Semaglutide is $179 per month and Tirzepatide is $299 per month, and as long as your plan remains active, your prescribed medication will be shipped free directly to your home each month. All medications are prescribed by a licensed provider based on medical evaluation and individual eligibility. Get started here:
‍
https://app.legacymeds.org/wl-11705-v2/intake-1

What if I'm not eligible for compound GLP-1 medication?

Your safety always comes first. If, after a provider review, you’re determined not to be clinically eligible for compounded GLP-1 medication, Legacy Meds offers a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and will issue a refund. Eligibility is based on provider evaluation and individual medical factors. Our goal is to ensure you receive care that’s appropriate, safe, and aligned with your health needs.

When will my medication be shipped after I complete sign-up?

After you complete your sign-up form, a licensed Legacy Meds provider will review your information within 1–2 business days to determine your treatment plan, if you’re eligible. Be sure to watch for any follow-up questions from your provider, as responding promptly can help avoid delays. Once a prescription is approved and sent to the pharmacy, delivery typically takes 5–9 business days to arrive at your preferred address. Shipping timelines may vary based on pharmacy processing and location. All medications are shipped only after provider approval.

Billing

Will my account be billed automatically?

Yes. Legacy Meds memberships are billed monthly on the same date as your initial membership charge for convenience and continuity of care. You can cancel your membership at any time.

If you have questions about your refund status or need additional support, you can message your care team through the Legacy Meds portal or email us at support@legacymeds.com.

Is this a one-time plan?

No. Legacy Meds weight-loss memberships are recurring, as ongoing provider oversight is important when using prescription medications and working toward lasting results. That said, you’re always in control—you can cancel at any time through your account.

Can I pause my membership?

At this time, memberships can’t be paused. This is because ongoing provider oversight is important while using prescription medication and following a medical weight-loss plan. That said, you can delay medication shipments directly from your Legacy Meds portal by selecting “Manage subscription” on your home page, which can be helpful if you need a short break. If you choose to cancel your membership, please let your provider know so they can guide you on safely discontinuing your medication. Once a membership is canceled, refills are no longer available, and providers are unable to continue monitoring your treatment. If you have questions or need help deciding what’s best for you, your care team is here to support you.
