What stands out

• Brand-name only, with the prescription going to a pharmacy you choose. That is the opposite of the standard model here, where the provider's own compounded supply is the product being sold.
• Publishes a single self-pay visit price and accepts insurance for the visit, so the clinical cost is knowable up front.
• No membership and no subscription — you pay when you need a visit.
• Because the medication is bought at a pharmacy, the real cost depends entirely on your insurance or the manufacturer's self-pay channel, and DrHouse publishes nothing about it.
• Weight management is one service among many on a general telehealth platform.
• Advertises a visit within fifteen minutes, which is faster than the asynchronous review most GLP-1 sellers use — though speed and thoroughness pull in opposite directions for a chronic medication.
• Names board-certified physicians and lets you pick your clinician before the visit.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

• The $129 buys the visit only. What will Zepbound or Wegovy cost you at the pharmacy afterwards?
• If your insurer requires prior authorisation, will DrHouse file it, and is that included in the visit fee?
• A fifteen-minute visit is a short window to start a long-term medication. Who monitors dose escalation and side effects afterwards, and at what cost per follow-up?
• What clinical criteria are applied for GLP-1 eligibility?
• Is baseline lab work required, and who orders and pays for it?
