As Costco enters the weight loss prescription market, Direct Meds highlights its all-in-one model, including prescriptions, provider care, and home delivery.
(PRUnderground) October 29th, 2025
Costco’s recent announcement offering Ozempic and Wegovy at $499 per month has sparked nationwide conversations among individuals seeking affordable access to GLP-1 weight loss medications. Accessibility and affordability of these popular medications have historically been a barrier for some patients, preventing them from reaping the potential weight loss benefits. Direct Meds, a leader in prescription weight loss solutions, welcomes the news while emphasizing key differences in convenience, service, and transparency that set its platform apart.
As demand for GLP-1 medications continues to surge nationwide, telehealth providers like Direct Meds are stepping in to make treatment more accessible and affordable. Direct Meds simplifies the patient experience with a fully integrated, end-to-end model, connecting patients with licensed medical providers, overseeing medication prescriptions, and delivering them directly to patients’ doors each month. Their single, all-inclusive price covers medical evaluation, online GLP-1 prescription management, medication, and shipping. It also eliminates the uncertainty and hidden fees.
“We’re glad to see more national retailers bringing visibility to GLP-1s like Ozempic and Wegovy,” said Dr. Justin Hohl, Medical Director at Direct Meds. “But the cost of the medication is only one financial hurdle patients face. At Direct Meds, we make the entire process seamless, from medical consultation to doorstep delivery, and we include the prescription in our all-in pricing. No added fees. No guesswork.”
Direct Meds also provides personalized patient support, giving individuals direct access to a care team that can help them stay on track with their weight loss journey. Every patient plan includes:
- Online consultation with a licensed provider
- Prescription approval and fulfillment
- Monthly GLP-1 medication home delivery
- Free shipping and discreet packaging
- Ongoing access to clinical support
Direct Meds bundles everything into one predictable monthly price, often at or below national pharmacy retail rates.
“Affordability matters, but so does convenience and trust,” Hohl added. “Direct Meds was built for people who want real results without the complexity of navigating traditional healthcare systems. Costco’s move validates the demand, but we provide a simpler and more comprehensive solution.”
