"Costco's Weight Loss Program: Access to Medication and GLP-1 Drugs for Members"
Costco is expanding its partnership with Sesame to offer exclusive pricing on weight loss programs, including a three-month subscription at a discounted rate of $179 for members. The program includes a live video consultation with a weight loss doctor, guidance on nutrition and exercise, and the potential prescription of weight loss medicines like Ozempic or Wegovy. However, the cost of the medicine is not included in the base price, and pharmacies have reported shortages of these drugs. This move follows similar weight loss services offered by rivals Amazon and Weight Watchers, and aims to make high-quality specialty care more accessible and affordable for Costco members.
