Sesame
Sesame takes a radically different approach to telehealth GLP-1 access: no subscriptions, no memberships, no monthly fees. You pay per visit, get a prescription if appropriate, and fill it wherever you want. Think of Sesame as the à la carte option — stripped-down, transparent pricing with no ongoing commitments. This model gives patients maximum flexibility but shifts the work of finding affordable medication to the patient.
