Is Found or PlushCare better?

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.

What we like

  • Starts with a free insurance check rather than a payment, and names the 41 states where it accepts plans
  • Fifteen medications listed, including eight branded GLP-1s and four non-GLP-1 weight medications
  • Publishes brand-name cash prices openly — roughly $1,100 a month for Ozempic and Mounjaro, from $650 for Wegovy and Zepbound

Watch-outs

  • The $99 and $169 headlines require a twelve-month plan paid up front; month to month is $199 and $289
  • The program fee and the medication are separate charges, so no single all-in number is published

Pick Found if: You want a dedicated, weight-loss-focused program.
