Form Health
An insurance-billed obesity medicine practice that prescribes only FDA-approved drugs, after monthly video visits with a physician-led team and a dietitian.
Review by Leah Garner, clinical-evidence editor · Updated October 2026
The short version
This is a medical practice, not a drug storefront. You see a clinician and a dietitian by video before anything is prescribed, and every drug is an FDA-approved brand. The trade-off is cost certainty. Medication is billed through your insurance or your pharmacy, so no drug price appears anywhere on the site.

Form Health is a Boston company, founded in 2019, that runs a virtual obesity and cardiometabolic clinic. It bills most major private insurers and Medicare for visits, labs and medication. Without coverage, a self-pay plan costs $299 a month for the care alone. Its clinicians prescribe Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda, Foundayo and Contrave. They may also prescribe Ozempic or Rybelsus off-label. Nothing compounded is offered.

Every drug is an FDA-approved brand: Wegovy, Zepbound and Saxenda as injections, and Foundayo and Contrave as pills. Ozempic and Rybelsus may be prescribed off-label. The site says no controlled drugs such as phentermine are prescribed. Medication cost depends on your plan, and the team submits prior authorizations for you. The FAQ notes that Zepbound vials are sold only for cash through LillyDirect and never go through insurance.
Each “From” figure is the seller’s own starting price, in the unit the seller states. Where a required fee or a package length changes what one month costs, the smaller line under it is our arithmetic, not a figure the seller prints. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved.
Who prescribes
A licensed clinician
The footer of every page names the practices that deliver care: Form Health Associates (MA) P.C., Form Health Associates P.C., Healthy Life Physicians Group, P.C., and its Pacific Northwest affiliate. The terms describe them as an independent, physician-owned medical group with a network of US-based providers. Each care team is led by a physician certified in obesity medicine or an endocrinologist, working with advanced practice providers and registered dietitians. The one physician named is the chief medical officer, Florencia Halperin, MD, a board-certified endocrinologist trained at Harvard. The clinician who treats you is not named before you enroll.
Enrollment starts with a short eligibility quiz. You must be 18 or older, with a BMI of 30, or 27 with a weight-related condition. You must also have seen a primary care physician in the last 12 months, and you sign a release so Form can obtain those records. You then have a telehealth consultation by video with your clinician and a registered dietitian, where the plan is built. A prescription follows only if the clinician judges it appropriate. After that, check-ins are monthly video visits with both, plus messaging in the app between visits.
Are labs required?
Billed separately
Lab tests are part of the program and are billed to insurance along with visits. On the self-pay plan they are not included: the FAQ says you pay for any lab work and medication separately.

What it claims, and what it cites
The headline figure is that patients lose an average of 16% of body weight at 18 months. The site gives no sample size, no definition of who counts as a patient and no publication. A second figure says 17% of patients stopped a medication for a weight-related condition. It is equally unsourced. The medications page says weight-loss drugs can produce up to 15% weight loss with lifestyle change. It also says the combination yields 2 to 4 times the loss of medication alone. Neither line cites a study. A 4.8 rating on Google is shown without a review count. One patient quote is labeled as a real patient.

How it bills
With in-network insurance, you pay your usual copay or deductible for visits, labs and drugs. Without it, the self-pay plan is $299 a month for clinician and dietitian visits, unlimited messaging and the app. Labs and medication are paid separately, and the plan fee is HSA and FSA eligible. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. Canceling closes the account at the end of the billing period. Missing a visit without two business days' notice can cost up to $100.
