Costco is expanding its partnership with Sesame — an online telemedicine platform that connects medical providers nationwide with consumers — to offer eligible members exclusive pricing on prescriptions for GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Costco’s weight loss program is available “at the exclusive discount price of $179” for members who sign up through the Sesame marketplace, Sesame said in a press release.
The subscription includes three months of clinical consultation in which patients can select their own clinician, take part in an initial live video consultation and message their clinician outside of scheduled appointments. Patients will also receive a nutritional guide and recommendations. Based on their medical history and weight-loss needs, they’ll be guided to a clinically-appropriate treatment program that includes prescriptions for weight loss medicine like Ozempic or Wegovy.
