We guarantee that the cost of your GLP-1 medication with insurance will be $25/month or less after any deductible is met, or you’re eligible for a refund minus the cost of your first doctor visit ($249). Our team is committed to working with your insurance company so you don’t have to. This policy is designed to help all of our members sign up with confidence.

Calibrate uses manufacturer patient access programs for eligible patients to bring cost to $25/month or less. These programs are subject to change.

You can request a refund if you do not receive coverage of GLP-1 medication for $25/month or less (after any deductible is met) once the Calibrate team has worked through all standard medication approval processes, which can take up to 6 weeks after your doctor appointment.

After 6 weeks, you can request a refund by emailing membership@joincalibrate.com. If you paid by credit or debit card you will receive a refund on the card on file per our terms and conditions, and the refund amount will appear on your card within three to five business days of confirming you are refund eligible. 

If you paid via Affirm, Calibrate will submit the refund via Affirm within ten days of confirmation you are refund eligible. Affirm will then credit any payments you have made and you will see the refund reflected in your loan balance on Affirm within three to ten business days (more details here). 

If you switch insurance and lose GLP-1 coverage mid-program and wish to cancel, you may request a pro-rated refund based on how long you have been in the program. The Calibrate team will determine the final amount of your pro-rated refund.  

By accepting a refund, you are choosing to terminate your One-Year Metabolic Reset. Medication Coverage Guarantee only applies to your first full year on the One-Year Metabolic Reset (i.e., does not apply for Masters members). Terms subject to change.

GLP-1s are FDA-approved and safe. They have been widely used since 2005 and are generally very well tolerated, with minimal side effects.

Unlike other weight loss medications, GLP-1s address the underlying biology that is most important for weight loss.

Phentermine, for example, is a stimulant (an amphetamine-like analogue) that reduces hunger so that you can more easily deprive yourself of calories—but again, eating less is not a sustainable solution for weight loss. Phentermine can also cause serious side effects including headaches, increased thirst, and significant elevation in blood pressure—which can force your heart to work harder and exacerbate any existing heart conditions. 

Contrave, another popular weight loss medication, is a combination of Wellbutrin (a medicine primarily used in the treatment of depression), and naltrexone (a drug used primarily in the prevention of alcohol or opioid abuse). Like phentermine, Contrave helps to reduce appetite, but does not address the most important underlying biology of weight gain.

There is one oral GLP-1 option. Your Calibrate doctor will use your medical history and insurance coverage to prescribe the best GLP-1 for you.

GLP-1s are self-administered either daily or weekly depending on the medication. Your Calibrate doctor can walk you through how it works and can also send you a short video to help! While an injection may sound scary, most members actually report it being painless, quick, and easy. (It’s just under the skin—going into your fat instead of your muscle. The needle is ultra-fine, so it isn’t like a typical shot.) In addition, not only are the medications we prescribe more effective, but they also have fewer and safer side effects than other weight loss medications. The Calibrate medical team is available to answer your questions about taking the medication and to address other medical concerns you might have throughout your Calibrate year.

Your Calibrate doctor will review your required lab work and entire health history and can answer any questions you might have about medication interactions during your initial video doctor visit. GLP-1s (the medications that Calibrate doctors prescribe) can be safely taken with other common prescription medications—including those for blood pressure, thyroid, and diabetes—and have no contraindications with other prescription or over-the-counter medications.
