Semaglutide: What is it?

Semaglutide is the generic form of Ozempic® and Wegovy® and was originally approved by the FDA in 2017. Wegovy® is the first medication in its class to be approved for weight loss.

Semaglutide is a GLP-1 agonist drug for weight loss. It works by regulating your insulin levels in the body, making it more effective. This leads to a decreased appetite and enabling you to feel full for a longer period of time.

Is Semaglutide right for me?

Semaglutide is typically meant for people with a BMI of greater than 30 or a BMI of 27 and above that suffer from weight-related health issues, but only an assessment by our medical provider can determine if you are fully eligible.

Like any weight loss strategy, Semaglutide is best paired with proper diet and exercise. However, many who use Semaglutide report weight loss without any additional exercise. A portion of study participants even experienced weight loss of up to 20% of their starting weight!

Semaglutide FAQs

  • Semaglutide has undergone numerous rigorous trials and has been shown to be safe, as well as being FDA approved. There is a potential for side effects, however they are typically only mild to moderate. There have been no unexpected safety issues from any trial. As with any health regime, being open and honest with your provider is the best practice. You will be given more through literature about Semaglutide and it’s potential adverse effects throughout the process.

  • Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks with Semaglutide is that most insurances do not pay for the cost of Semaglutide for weight loss purposes. In addition, 716 Mobile IV does not partner with any insurance companies. We find we are able to offer the best “self-pay” rates possible by not having to deal with the difficulties of reimbursements through insurance companies.

    The out of pocket costs for the brand name versions of Semaglutide can easily cost over $1,300 per month, plus any office fees and/or co-pays associated with your care. We are able to offer much more competitive rates this way!

  • 716 Mobile IV is excited to offer Semaglutide for a fraction of the cost of the name-brand versions. The 3-month/12-week cost of the Semalutide program is just $900. After that, pricing will depend on your dosing, costing a maximum of $400 every 5 weeks (Subject to medication cost increases. You will be notified 30 days in advance of price change. Applicable only after initial 3-month/12-week commitment.)

    There are no consultation, initiation, or cancellation fees* with our Semaglutide service! We only require the initial 3-month commitment since weight loss programs take time to notice results.

    Included in your monthly cost is your supply of Semaglutide, initial visit and follow-ups (1st in-home training and informational session, with monthly virtual provider follow-up appointments), administration supplies, delivery of Semaglutide and supplies to your doorstep as needed, and proper disposal of your used medical supplies. In addition, our provider can be made available by phone appointment for any questions or concerns that may arise during your weight loss journey.

    *Inquire for further details. Client will still be subject to cancellation fees for missed appointments.

    You will need to schedule a blood draw so our provider can have your recent lab values. This can be done through your PCP or with the assistance of our provider.

    Finally, as you continue through your weight loss journey, the provider will conduct a virtual telemedicine visit with you every 4 weeks and adjust your Semaglutide dose as needed.
