Overview

Shapely is unusually specific about what patients pay and why. Visits run through insurance — the program says it is in network with Medicare and most PPO plans — while compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are sold cash-pay because compounded drugs are not reimbursed. Compounded semaglutide starts at $99/month and tirzepatide at $166/month, with dose-tiered pricing published for higher strengths. Labs are strongly recommended rather than required, and uninsured patients can get them at a flat $75. The catch is reach: Shapely currently operates in California, Florida, New York and Texas only.
