Provider review
Found review
The longest track record here, wrapped around pricing that layers.
Obesity-medicine clinicians and the widest medication menu on the board, but the advertised entry rate needs a multi-month prepay.
Price, exactly as they publish it
Compounded semaglutide as low as $99/mo on a longer prepay (realistically ~$199–$299/mo); brand path (Wegovy/Ozempic/oral Rybelsus) adds ~$39/mo membership on top of the medication
Semaglutide is prescription-only and compounded semaglutide is not the FDA-approved brand product — decide with a clinician. Prices are as the provider published them when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
How Semawise makes money (plainly)
Here's the honest version: some of the links on this site are affiliate links, routed through the Katalys network. Click one and go on to start a treatment or buy something, and we may earn a commission — without costing you a single penny more. That's what keeps the lights on and the answers free. The part that matters: a commission never buys a softer review, a different price, or kinder pros and cons. What it does buy is position — affiliate partners are listed ahead of providers we have no relationship with, and we say so on each board rather than only here. Want the longer version? It's all in our full disclosure.
The verdict
Found has been running weight care since 2019, reports a quarter of a million members, and puts obesity-medicine clinicians and real behavioural coaching behind the prescription. Its menu is the broadest we log: compounded semaglutide at the entry, a genuine brand-name path to Wegovy and Ozempic, and oral Rybelsus, in all fifty states with insurance navigation alongside. The catch is that there is no single number. The cheapest compounded rate needs a three-to-twelve-month prepay, month-to-month lands materially higher, the brand path stacks a membership on top of the drug, and your real total shifts with your state and your plan.
The trade-off we'd want you to read first
Layered pricing: the cheapest compounded rate requires a 3–12 month prepay commitment
Who it suits, and who it doesn't
A good fit if
- You want an operator with years of history and named obesity-medicine clinicians behind the prescription
- You may want to move between compounded, brand-name and oral semaglutide without changing provider
- You want help working your insurance rather than just a vial arriving in the post
Look elsewhere if
- You want one figure you can hold them to — the real monthly total moves with your state, your plan and how far ahead you prepay
- You will not put money down for three to twelve months, which is what the advertised entry rate requires
- You are taking the brand path and object to paying a separate membership on top of an already expensive medicine
How the programme actually works
One of the older, larger weight-care platforms — Found (Found Health Inc., joinfound.com) has operated since 2019 and reports 250,000+ members. Care is led by obesity-medicine clinicians and paired with a behavioral-coaching app, community and insurance navigation rather than medication alone. Its stand-out is breadth of formulary: compounded semaglutide at the entry, but also a genuine brand-name path (Wegovy, Ozempic) and oral Rybelsus (oral semaglutide), plus non-GLP oral options, all in 50 states with HSA/FSA accepted. The trade-off is pricing that varies and layers — the headline compounded rate (as low as $99/mo) needs a 3–12 month prepay, month-to-month lands nearer $199–$299/mo, and the brand path stacks a ~$39/mo membership on top of the drug.

What it does well
- Established since 2019 with 250k+ members — a real track record most compounded rivals lack
- Care led by obesity-medicine clinicians, paired with behavioral coaching, an app and community
- Broadest formulary we log: compounded semaglutide plus a real brand-name path (Wegovy/Ozempic) and oral Rybelsus (oral semaglutide)
- All 50 states, with insurance navigation and HSA/FSA accepted
The other trade-offs
- The entry tier is compounded semaglutide — not the FDA-approved brand product, which matters if you're relying on insurance
- The brand-name path stacks a ~$39/mo membership on top of the medication cost
- Cost and coverage vary by state and plan, so your true monthly total isn't a single flat figure
If this one isn't it
If Found is not it, these are not our favourites and they are not the ones that pay the most — each is the provider closest to this one that does better on the axis this one does worst on. The axis is named on every card, with both providers’ own published wording underneath, so you can check the claim rather than take it.

Before you buy
Semaglutide is a prescription medicine, and the compounded version is not the same regulated product as brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic. Whatever you decide, decide it with a clinician who knows your history — and go into that conversation with real numbers.
Where this sits on the board
Found is one of 27 telehealth semaglutide programmes we track. The board puts every published price on one screen, ordered with the companies that pay us first — a mechanism we state there, on the page it applies to, rather than only in the small print.
Semaglutide is prescription-only and compounded semaglutide is not the FDA-approved brand product — decide with a clinician. Prices are as the provider published them when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
