Digital health company Noom on Thursday announced it will offer a compounded GLP-1 drug as part of a new weight loss product that starts at $149. Noom has offered weight loss programs for years, and consumers can already try to access those branded medications through its platform. Compounded GLP-1 medications are typically much cheaper than their branded counterparts. Most insurance plans cover GLP-1s when they are used to treat diabetes, but coverage of the weight loss drugs is less widespread. Consumers can get started with the Noom GLP-1 RX program by filling out an intake form on the website.
