"Costco Introduces Exclusive Weight-Loss Program with GLP-1 Drugs for Members"
Costco is teaming up with healthcare marketplace Sesame to offer eligible members access to a weight-loss program that includes clinically approved GLP-1 prescription drugs like Ozempic for $179 for three months. This program, aimed at the uninsured and those with high deductibles, provides consultations with a clinician and a medically appropriate treatment plan. The move follows Costco's previous partnership with Sesame offering virtual primary care, and reflects a trend of big-box retailers entering the healthcare space.
