Found Health, Semaglutide Review of How It Works and Cost

Found Health Semaglutide for Weight Loss is ranked #20 on my complete Comparison Chart of over 50 online Semaglutide providers.  Be sure to review the list to determine which provider is the best fit for you.

Found Health   – How it Works

Found Health is a whole lot more than just a bunch of docs prescribing Semaglutide online. They were founded by Dr. Rekha Kumar, MD, the former Medical Director of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. Their intent is to help you break the cycle and live your healthiest life.

Step 1 - Take their Assessment.  Provide information about your goals and medical history to fuel your metabolic health assessment, MetabolicPrint™︎️.

Step 2 - Meet your Team.  Get paired with your care team, including two dedicated experts—a board-certified clinician trained in weight loss to find the right medication and a health coach to help you set goals and support you at every step.

Step 3 - Get your plan. Their care plan is tailored to your needs and biology and covers some medications, nutrition, and how to build healthy habits.  

Step 4 - Take Action. Log your habits (medication, meals, routines), take on challenges, and hop into the Found community to find and share support with other members.

Found Health Cost & Weight Loss Journey Options

You can create an account to gain more access to their pricing, and medication information without having to commit or paying for the six-month membership. The screenshot below is from where I provided my name, etc. but never completed the step to pay for the membership. This will break down for you, how much weight you can expect to lose and your membership payment options. 

In order to get to a point where you can meet with a doc and start the conversation to create a personalized plan just for you, you'll be required to establish and pay for the six-month Found Membership. If you choose to pay for all six months at one time, it averages out to $99 per month. You can make two payments per quarter at $ 116 each or if you want to pay month-by-month, it's $129. 

What's included in the Membership?

• In-depth consultations with board-certified medical providers specializing in weight loss - up to 4 consultations in the first month, and up to 2 consultations per month thereafter

• Access to prescriptions for medications tailored to your biology

• Guided lifestyle programming and tips designed to help you maintain accountability

• 1:1 expert coaching support during the first 4 weeks, to kickstart your program, plus access to a network of coaches throughout your journey

• Community that helps you easily connect with other members and get support through all the ups and downs

• Mobile app with lifestyle change tools, accountability features, medication info, refill and appointment reminders, and more

• Access to a care team for timely, thoughtful responses to your program questions

Depending on medications you are prescribed, they may be included in the membership fees. However, if you are prescribed Semaglutide, you'll be paying $189 per month for the meds outside the monthly membership fees.

 Monthly price for Semaglutide - $189

If you want to try to use your insurance, Found will help you navigate your insurance to see if you are able to get a pre-authorization for the branded versions like Ozempic.

Found Health How do I know if I qualify?

To be considered for GLP medications from most providers, you must have:

BMI of 30+

OR

BMI of 27 or greater AND

the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition

(hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol)

BMI is just one factor in determining eligibility, and your Found licensed medical professionals will customize a program tailored to your individual needs and goals.

Do they accept Insurance?

No, Found doesn't accept insurance, but if you need help in determining if your insurance may cover your meds, they'll help with that.

Found Health, What we Like

1) Found Health is LegitScript Certified, meaning they have been certified by an outside organization on their verification of facilitating transactions for pharmacies.  It also means that they have been approved for card-not-present transactions over the internet.

2) Found Health seems to really grasp that obesity is not just about losing weight and then you are done. Their dedication to personalizing a plan just for you, seems far superior to what others offer. They are there to coach you on your journey and help you learn and re-learn healthy habits so the change can be long term.  They understand that losing the weight is one thing, but knowing how to keep it off is another.  

3) They offer multiple weight loss medications, Semaglutide is just one of many tools they have in their tool bag. I also like that they offer to help you navigate your insurance to see if your weight loss drug might be covered.

What could be better?

1) We're not normally fans of memberships, but in this case, they seem to be a bit different and the added benefits seem to be worth the cost.
