A truly affordable weight loss program is finally here. Today, Sesame announced the launch of Success by Sesame: a clinically-comprehensive online weight loss program focused on holistic patient care and measurable results.
For just $99 per month, Success by Sesame includes a video assessment with a Sesame provider of the patient’s choice, labs, unlimited messaging, ongoing clinical oversight, and a prescription for weight loss medication if clinically appropriate. For patients with insurance, providers will assist with insurance paperwork to help reduce the cost of their medications. For those without insurance, providers will work closely with the patient to find a medication option that is both effective and within budget.
How Success by Sesame works
| How It Works | Details |
|---|---|
| Complete a comprehensive intake form | First, patients will fill out a thorough intake form that covers medical and family history, as well as other factors that can influence body mass and overall health. |
| Choose a provider | After filling out the intake form, patients can select from a wide range of clinicians and read reviews ahead of booking, ensuring that each patient can find a provider who aligns with their personal needs and preferences. |
| Have a face-to-face video consultation | The patient and provider meet for an initial video consultation to discuss goals and determine appropriate treatment. Most initial consultations happen within 24 hours. |
| Get a lab test (if needed) | If appropriate, the provider will order initial lab tests – either at a lab facility or at home – to establish if medication is right for the patient. |
| Get ongoing guidance on diet, exercise and lifestyle | The provider will offer expert advice on necessary changes to diet, exercise and lifestyle. |
| Receive a prescription for weight loss medication | If deemed clinically appropriate, the provider may prescribe medication, including name-brand GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy, Saxenda and Zepbound. |
| Enjoy weekly check-ins, monitoring and adjustments | Patients will have access to a weekly check-in tool through the Sesame app that allows them to track their weight loss progress and build healthy habits for diet, exercise and sleep. Providers will closely monitor patients for side effects like nausea and make adjustments as needed. |
| Ongoing support from your provider | Patients can schedule face-to-face video consultations as needed and also have access to unlimited messaging. This continuous support helps patients stay on track. |
Why Success by Sesame is better than the rest
Sesame sets a new standard for affordability, quality and accessibility in clinical weight loss. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Low monthly price: Sesame's weight loss subscription is just $99/mo. (medication price not included) — and because Sesame’s marketplace removes insurance and other unnecessary middlemen from your care, there are no deductibles or out-of-network costs to worry about.
- Provider choice: Finding the right fit is important. Instead of being assigned a provider at random, Success by Sesame patients will have the ability to see provider reviews, ratings and more before choosing a board-certified clinician to support them on their weight loss journey.
- Clinical oversight from actual humans: Sesame’s weight loss offering includes real face-to-face video chats with your provider, lab work and unlimited messaging. This allows for comprehensive monitoring and ongoing guidance when it comes to diet, exercise, behaviors and more.
- Transparent prescribing practices: Sesame is not a pharmacy, which means that it has no financial incentive to prescribe one therapy over another. Instead, your providers will recommend whatever therapy is truly best for you on your weight loss journey.
Why weight loss?
Sesame’s mission has been the same since day one: to build a marketplace that makes high-quality, affordable care easily accessible to the millions of Americans who are priced out of the traditional US healthcare system. We call it, “Pay Half, Be Whole,” healthcare.
"Sesame has proven over five years that Americans do not have to sacrifice quality, convenience or access just to get an affordable price for their care."
We believe that people should be able to get the care that they need regardless of insurance status – and that extends to the 73% of U.S. citizens who are overweight or obese. These conditions disproportionately affect lower-income people in the US – exactly the people who are in need of care but have limited health insurance coverage (or no insurance at all).
That’s why we created a financially accessible weight loss program that doesn’t require anyone to sacrifice high-quality, effective care for cost. Whole care, half price - just like our mission.
