In-Person vs Telehealth in Memphis
Patients in Memphis have two main paths to GLP-1 treatment: an in-person obesity medicine or bariatric program, or a licensed telehealth provider that ships to Tennessee addresses. In-person programs are generally preferable for patients with complex medical needs, those pursuing bariatric surgery, or patients whose insurance covers a brand-name anti-obesity GLP-1 and requires in-person documentation. Telehealth is generally preferable for patients seeking cash-pay compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide from a 503A compounding pharmacy[5]. Medicaid and commercial insurance coverage of anti-obesity GLP-1s in Tennessee varies by plan[4].
Cost of GLP-1 Medications in Memphis
Brand-name Wegovy in Memphis typically costs $1,349/month without insurance, while Zepbound runs $1,086/month. Compounded semaglutide through telehealth providers averages $$189/month in Tennessee, representing savings of more than $13,000 per year.
