Sesame costs and fees

The care charge is one part of the bill. Use these components to check a written quote for the same medication, form and billing period.

Care, medication and additional charges for the reviewed program
Cost componentWhat to budget for
Ongoing care$99 / 28 days

Care fee only; medication is extra.

IntroductionNo comparable introductory care fee verified.
MedicationSeparate pharmacy bill; the care charge is not a total treatment price.
Labs and other chargesSpecified Quest labs included, with nine state exclusions; other lab charges may apply.

Published branded-medication examples

These are the dated examples in our source record, not an exhaustive medication list or a personal quote. Unknown prices and availability stay unconfirmed, and an advertised starting price is not a dose-matched total.

A dose-matched branded medication price is not established in this review. Get the medicine and pharmacy quote separately.

How the program works

Choose a provider rather than being assigned one. The provider's clinician determines whether it can offer care and which prescription, if any, is appropriate.

Clinician access
Telehealth visits and messaging with your selected provider; fixed cadence not published.
Nutrition and lifestyle support
A registered-dietitian visit is not established in the checked bundle.
Pharmacy and fulfillment
Local pharmacy pickup or delivery options advertised.
Eligibility and availability
Provider-set fees can be higher; the short plan bills every 28 days.

This review concerns the care offering, not whether a medication suits you. Read the evidence separately: semaglutide, tirzepatide, or GLP-1 basics.

Billing, renewal and cancellation

Billing: Every 28 days. Cancellation: Cancel before the next billing cycle; initial refund requires cancellation at least three hours before the first visit.

First payment and refunds
Confirm refund rules for your exact plan.
Stopping medication
Confirm which care and medication subscriptions renew separately.
Orders billed elsewhere
Local pharmacy pickup or delivery options advertised.

Sources and review scope

This is a U.S. review of the named care program around branded prescriptions. The rating does not extend to the operator's other programs, a peptide itself, a pharmacy or an individual clinician. Our content is not medically reviewed, and we have not enrolled as patients to test the service.

Program facts keep their own source dates; publishing this review does not renew an older price, offer or credential check. Compounded plans are outside the branded-medication examples above. Unknown information is not proof that a service is unavailable.
