How Measured Weight Loss Works

Good questions to ask.

How does Measured work?

Measured is a comprehensive and personalized approach to weight loss. We help you achieve your weight loss and health goals through prescription medications, behavior coaching, and customized meal guides.

Start by taking a short quiz to ensure you’re eligible for our program. You’ll then complete a full medical assessment that will gather more detailed information on your medical history, lifestyle, and health goals. If you haven’t recently, you’ll also be asked to complete a metabolic assessment.

Your Care Team (which includes an obesity-trained clinician and licensed health coach) will then review your answers and create a personalized treatment plan that’s designed to achieve your weight loss goals. Your treatment plan includes:

Prescription medications, if applicable
Unlimited messaging access to both your clinician and health coach, as well as a team of dedicated Care Coordinators
Personalized meal guide
Educational content
Access to a community of 10,000+ others

Measured is there for you every step of the way. Your Care Team is available to answer your questions and refine your treatment plan over time.

How much weight can I lose?

While every person is different, the average Measured member sees at least a 5% weight reduction in the first 3 months and an up to 10% reduction by month 6.

Medications that Measured clinicians can prescribe have been scientifically proven to help patients lose 15% of their body weight in 68 weeks.

How much does Measured cost?

Signing up for Measured today costs $39. This fee includes your metabolic assessment, initial assessment, and online consultation. From that point forward, Measured charges $78/month for ongoing and unlimited messaging access with your Care Team.

These costs do not include any prescribed medications. Measured’s team of insurance-experts will help you with Prior Authorization requests and get you the most cost-savings possible through your local pharmacy. With insurance coverage, medications should cost $30 or less per month.

Does Measured take insurance?

Measured does not accept insurance for its initial consultation ($39) or monthly membership fees ($78).

However, your Measured Care Team will work directly with your insurance to handle the prior authorization process and ensure you get the most cost-savings possible on any prescribed medications.

Please note: we are NOT able to accept patients onto our platform who have Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare, or Kaiser insurance.

What is prior authorization?

Prior authorization is when insurance requires patients to obtain pre-approval of a service or medication before care is provided. This allows the plan to evaluate whether care is medically necessary and otherwise covered.

Many insurance plans require prior authorization for GLP-1 medications, such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Saxenda.

Measured has a best-in-class Prior Authorization team that will work directly with your insurance company to help you receive approval for any medications you are prescribed by your Measured clinician.

How do labs work?

Measured requires lab results containing Creatinine, eGRF, and HbA1c from the last 12 months in order to prescribe certain medications.

If you have completed the necessary lab work, you can upload your results into the telehealth portal to be viewed by your Care Team.
If you need to complete the necessary lab work, we will help you make an appointment with your local Quest Diagnostics. The cost of the labs are included in your $39 sign-up fee.

What medications does Measured prescribe?

If appropriate, your Measured clinician will prescribe prescription medications that have been studied in clinical trials and proven to be safe with at least a 5% weight loss effect.

Wegovy
