A Safer, Simpler GLP-1 Program: New Dispensing Options & Clear Pricing

At MD Diet, patient safety and clarity always come first. As more people use GLP-1 medications, we’ve continued to refine our program to make it safer, easier to follow, and less stressful without surprise costs or confusing rules.

That’s why we’ve updated both how medication is dispensed and how pricing works. These changes weren’t made lightly. They were made to support better care, improve safety, and ensure our program remains compliant and sustainable long-term.

Here’s what’s new and why it matters to you.

Why We Made These Changes: Safety Comes First

One of the biggest reasons for these updates is our move to pharmacy-prepared, pre-filled injections.

Pre-filled syringes eliminate many of the most common issues patients experience when drawing up medication themselves, including:

• Dosing errors (too much or too little medication)

• Air bubbles in syringes

• Inconsistent measurements

• Medication waste or leftover excess medication

• Stress or uncertainty about whether a dose was prepared correctly

With pre-filled injections:

• Your dose is prepared exactly as prescribed by our pharmacy partners

• Each syringe is patient-specific and clearly labeled

• There’s no measuring, mixing, or guesswork at home

For many patients, this means greater confidence, fewer mistakes, and a smoother experience overall.

One Simple, All-In Monthly Price

Alongside safer dispensing, we also simplified pricing.

Our GLP-1 program now uses all-in monthly pricing, which means your program fee includes:

• Provider visits and medical oversight

• Your GLP-1 medication

• Pre-filled injections prepared specifically for you

• Dose adjustments within your prescribed tier

• Ongoing monitoring and support

No itemized charges. No surprise add-ons. No extra fees when your dose changes within your tier.

GLP-1 Program Pricing (Monthly)

Most patients begin on low-dose Semaglutide, allowing providers to safely monitor response and tolerance.

First Month:

$354 All-in (for starter tier of Semaglutide)

For your first month, your all-in price also includes:

• Nutrition consultation

• Bioanalysis (body composition tracking)

• Vitamin B injections

• Blood draw and labs

Each Additional Month:

Semaglutide

• • Starter: $229/month

  • Standard: $249/month

  • Accelerated: $309/month

  • Advanced: $339/month

Tirzepatide

• • Starter: $289/month

  • Standard: $389/month

  • Accelerated: $489/month

Semaglutide – Tirzepatide Combination Therapy (Provider-Directed Only)

• • Starter: $299/month

  • Standard: $399/month

  • Accelerated: $499/month

Your provider determines the right tier for you based on medical need, not upsells or quotas.

Flexible Dispensing & Administration Options

We know convenience matters. That’s why we offer multiple safe, compliant ways to receive and administer your medication all using the same pre-filled injection standard.

In-Clinic Administration

• Injections given during clinic visits

• No additional cost

Take-Home (Clinic Pickup)

• Pre-filled syringes prepared by the pharmacy

• Self-administer at home with clear guidance

• No additional cost

Home Delivery & Administration

• Medication delivered to your home

• Administered to you in your home by a certified medical professional

• +$25/month

Shipping

• Within Utah: +$15/month

• Outside Utah: Coordinated case-by-case

No matter which option you choose, your medication accuracy and medical oversight remain the same.

Monthly or Weekly Billing — Your Choice

Our GLP-1 program is a monthly commitment, but we offer flexibility in how you pay.

Monthly Billing

• One predictable monthly charge

Weekly Auto-Pay

• Pay for you appointment that day and split your program fee into four equal weekly payments

• Same total cost, just spaced out

• Designed for convenience, not higher pricing

About Pricing Changes: What to Expect and Why We Made Them

As part of these updates, some patients may notice a small change in their monthly cost, while others may actually save hundreds of dollars per month compared to what they were previously paying for medication.

Here’s the most important thing to know up front:

These changes were not made to increase our profits.
We do not earn additional money from this new structure.

Why Some Prices Changed

The updated pricing reflects a shift to:

• Pharmacy-prepared, pre-filled injections

• Clear, all-in monthly pricing rather than variable or itemized charges

For some patients, this means a slightly higher monthly cost than before.
For others, especially those who were paying per injection or through higher-cost pharmacies, this change can result in significant savings.

Why We Believe This Is the Right Move

We made these changes to support what matters most:

• Better care through consistent dosing and oversight

• Compliance with state regulations and prescribing standards

• Increased patient safety by reducing dosing errors, air bubbles, and medication waste

• Simpler, less stressful care with no guesswork or surprise charges

Our Commitment to Transparency

We want to be very clear:
This update does not increase our profit per patient.

In many cases:

• Medication costs to us are higher

• Administrative complexity is reduced, but margins are not increased

• Any savings are passed on to patients where possible

The goal wasn’t to charge more it was to care better.

What Didn’t Change

• Your provider still guides every dosing decision

• Your care remains personalized to your body and goals

• Routine dose adjustments don’t increase your cost

• Safety, compliance, and transparency remain our priorities

The Bottom Line

These updates weren’t about making things more complicated. They were about making them safer, clearer, and more supportive.
