|---|---|---|
| Amazon Pharmacy | $149/mo | Branded GLP-1 at upfront cash prices. From $149/mo. |
| Sam's Club Member Health | $149/mo | Oral Wegovy at $149/mo for members, plus the Well app. |
| Found | $169/mo | Widest medication catalog. A 12-month plan is the catch. |

Programs available in Minnesota
32 of the programs we track are licensed and available to Minnesota residents. One program does not serve Minnesota: Lindora. Lindora is a California-only clinic with no telehealth presence in Minnesota.
The remaining 32 programs all operate via telehealth and can onboard Minnesota patients remotely. You do not need to visit a clinic in person for the initial assessment or follow-up care. See the programs guide for the full breakdown by onboarding time and lock-in terms.
What Minnesota Medicaid covers
Minnesota Medicaid covers Wegovy and Zepbound for obesity under limited criteria at BMI 40+ with a documented comorbidity. Prior authorization is required. The diabetes path (Ozempic, Mounjaro) is covered with PA and a documented A1c above threshold. PA denials are common; first-submission approval is not guaranteed.
For the full prior-authorization criteria, MCO list, and step-therapy requirements, see the dedicated Minnesota Medicaid GLP-1 coverage page. That page also covers appeal options if you are denied on first submission.
