Found vs PlushCare
A weight program with compounded medication included against virtual primary care that prescribes brand-name GLP-1s through your plan.
Short answer
Found is the weight program: $289 a month cash for semaglutide, or $199 plus copays with insurance, with compounded medication included and brand-name drugs available. PlushCare is virtual primary care at $19.99 a month plus your copay or $129 a visit, prescribing brand-name drugs to your own pharmacy. Without drug coverage, PlushCare estimates about $1,000 a month.

Is Found or PlushCare better?
PlushCare works when your insurance covers a brand-name GLP-1. Its fees are low, a board-certified physician sees you by video, often the same day, and its team handles the prior authorization. Without coverage the drug is the problem. Found gives a cash buyer a complete monthly price, with compounded medication in the plan, and also bills insurance for its video visits. PlushCare has no dietitian or structured program; Found has a care plan, habit coaching and an AI concierge.
