The short answer

Found is a weight-care specialist built to put insurance toward branded or compounded GLP-1s; PlushCare is virtual primary care that can prescribe branded GLP-1s through your insurance alongside everything else a PCP handles. Pick Found for a focused weight program; PlushCare if you'd rather your GLP-1 sit inside ongoing primary care.
