LifeMD, Inc. has added semaglutide oral therapy—currently marketed as Rybelsus—to its end‑to‑end telehealth platform. The drug is FDA‑approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, not for weight management, and the company will provide prescription, laboratory testing, and pharmacy fulfillment through its integrated system.
The manufacturer’s list price for Rybelsus is approximately $1,200 per month. LifeMD will offer the medication at a cash‑pay price that aligns with the standard list price, allowing patients to access the therapy without insurance coverage while the company captures the full prescription margin.
The GLP‑1 class of medications is experiencing rapid growth, with millions of Americans eligible for treatment. By adding semaglutide to its portfolio, LifeMD positions itself as a comprehensive diabetes‑care provider and gains a competitive edge over other telehealth and compounding pharmacy models that outsource medication fulfillment.
The integrated pharmacy model enables LifeMD to retain higher margins and improve patient retention, as the company can coordinate care, monitoring, and medication delivery within a single platform. This expansion is expected to strengthen LifeMD’s market position and drive future revenue growth.
