Searching for a GLP-1 program in 2026 means wading through dozens of options that look interchangeable until you start asking the right questions. Ro, Hims, Noom Med, and Eden GLP-1 Weight Loss Program rank among the most searched, and each one has built a meaningfully different model.

Industry Enrollment Qualifications
One of the first questions people have about any GLP-1 telehealth program isn’t about the medication. It’s whether the program is legitimate. On all four programs discussed here, a licensed clinician reviews your full health history before any prescription is written. You’re not filling out a form and getting a pill; you’re being evaluated by a real provider.
Where the Medication Comes From
Ro and Hims dispensed compounded GLP-1s previously, but both programs now offer FDA-approved branded medications only. That means higher medication costs and no compounding pharmacy in the picture, which removes some of the transparency questions but also removes access for patients who can’t afford or don’t qualify for branded options.
Noom Med uses licensed compounding pharmacies and conducts third-party quality testing but doesn’t publish the names of its pharmacy partners. Eden names its pharmacy network publicly. Its in-house compounding pharmacy handles fulfillment alongside GoGoMeds, Precision, Enovex, and AbsolutePharmacy, all state-licensed facilities.
How Pricing Works
The billing structures across these four programs differ more than they first appear. Ro, Hims, and Eden each charge a membership fee with medication billed separately. Noom Med bundles everything into a single all-in charge. All four offer a reduced introductory rate for the first month, but the ongoing costs diverge considerably.
Ro: $39 first month, then $149/mo membership + branded FDA-approved medications billed separately, starting at $149/mo
Hims: $39 first month, then $149/mo membership + branded FDA-approved medications billed separately, starting at $149/mo
Noom Med: $129 to start, then $249/mo all-in for compounded semaglutide if prescribed (billed quarterly); same price at every dose
Eden: $39 first month, then $99/mo membership + compounded semaglutide at $99/mo if prescribed; same price at every dose
Ongoing Support
All four programs offer ongoing provider messaging, but the depth and type of support varies considerably.
Ro: Provider messaging, one-on-one nurse coaching, an insurance concierge to manage prior authorizations, and metabolic lab testing through Quest Diagnostics included in the membership
Hims: Unlimited provider messaging and in-app weight tracking
Noom Med: The most coaching-intensive program in this group. Weekly one-on-one sessions, a full cognitive behavioral therapy curriculum, a structured behavioral framework that treats the psychology of eating as seriously as the medication itself, and an active member community
Eden: 24/7 unlimited messaging with a dedicated care team; a one-on-one Member Experience Consultation to align your care plan with your goals; a private health hub to manage treatments, message your provider, and track progress; and access to Eden Collective, a private member community
Flexibility to Cancel
All four programs let you cancel at any time, but the financial commitment behind that varies. Ro and Hims don’t refund the current billing cycle once it’s charged. Noom Med’s quarterly billing means you’re paying for 12 weeks at a time, and once a prescription is written, refunds are no longer available. Eden allows cancellation directly through your patient portal before an order is sent to the pharmacy, with no cancellation fees and no long-term contracts.
Choosing the Right Program
Ro earns its place for patients with commercial insurance that may cover GLP-1s. It offers branded, FDA-approved medications only, and its prior authorization concierge handles the paperwork. When coverage comes through, the membership fee pays for itself.
Hims is a solid option for patients who want branded, FDA-approved medications through a streamlined digital platform with no insurance navigation required. It doesn’t stand out on any single dimension, but it delivers a consistent, no-friction experience.
Noom Med is the program for patients who want the behavioral and psychological side of weight loss to get as much attention as the prescription. Its coaching curriculum is the most structured in this group.
For patients who want access to compounded GLP-1 therapies through a named, transparent pharmacy network and a dedicated care team they can reach day or night, Eden GLP-1 Weight Loss Program is worth a close look. The same-price-at-every-dose guarantee means the cost you start at is the cost you keep, regardless of how your treatment progresses.†
