Price transparency
What is disclosed before intake, not a clinical rating.
Gaya Wellness offers virtual physician-led weight care focused on women in midlife, with separate tiers for prescription support, included compounded medication, and combined weight and hormone care. Its current page clearly distinguishes the lower support-only price from a medication-inclusive tier. That makes the program easier to compare than a single headline figure, although higher-dose tirzepatide and laboratory costs still need an individual quote. New virtual care is offered in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana and Tennessee; an office address does not mean patients must attend that office.

The verdict
Public prices describe specific visits, offers or commitments. They do not establish one unconditional ongoing monthly medication total.
The score beside Gaya Wellness's name rates how much it tells you before the medical intake — the price, the pharmacy and the terms — not how cheap it is.

What do you get with Gaya Wellness?
- A virtual initial assessment with the physician-led team, addressing weight history, metabolic concerns, relevant symptoms and treatment goals. The page identifies founder Shweta Patel as the physician leading this program.
- Foundation support with prescription access, laboratory panel orders, prior-authorization assistance and weekly asynchronous physician check-ins. The medication itself is outside this tier, even when an insurer ultimately covers a prescription.
- A Premium tier adding compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide and home delivery. The page also offers a separate Concierge tier including hormone replacement when clinically appropriate; hormone treatment should have its own medical rationale.
- Nutrition planning, tracking resources and continuing support. All consultations and follow-ups are virtual, while laboratory collection takes place at a facility near the patient rather than through the video visit itself.
How does Gaya Wellness work?
Start with state and clinical eligibility
The current program lists five supported states and a screening population aged 18–64. It describes BMI 30 or above, or 27 or above with a qualifying metabolic condition, as possible entry criteria. These are screening descriptions rather than approval. Explain your complete medical history so the physician can decide whether this specific virtual program is appropriate.
Separate care access from medication supply
Foundation may suit someone already obtaining an appropriate covered prescription, but its price does not buy the medication. Premium adds compounded GLP-1 supply. Ask which medication, formulation and quantity would be prescribed before selecting a tier. The separate hormone tier should be considered because of an individual clinical need, rather than an assumption that more treatments necessarily mean better care.
Get the complete quote before committing
Request the amount charged now, the next charge, laboratory collection and processing costs, and any higher-dose surcharge. The page includes laboratory panel orders, which does not settle the bill from the laboratory performing the tests. If using insurance for an approved medicine, ask about the pharmacy benefit separately from the program fee and prior-authorization service.
Clarify how cancellation applies to your term
The page pairs cancel-anytime language with quarterly commitment prices. Ask whether stopping during that term ends future renewal, affects the remainder of the commitment, or creates a refund. Obtain the answer before paying. Also request the pharmacy cancellation point and an appropriate follow-up plan if you later change the medication or transfer care.
How much does Gaya Wellness cost?
Premium compounded GLP-1 tier: $349/mo with quarterly commitment or $399/mo without it; exact preparation and extras need confirmation; ongoing month-to-month total not established.
Premium compounded GLP-1 tier: $349/mo with quarterly commitment or $399/mo without it; tirzepatide above 10mg/week may cost more; ongoing month-to-month total not established.
Available in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana and Tennessee for new virtual care; individual clinical eligibility required.
Foundation is $149 per month with a quarterly commitment or $199 without it; this is care and prescription access with medication separate. Premium is $349 with a quarterly commitment or $399 without it and includes compounded GLP-1 medication. Concierge is $549 with the commitment or $599 without it. Tirzepatide above 10mg weekly may cost more. Because preparation-specific quantities and possible outside laboratory charges remain individual, the ongoing month-to-month total not established qualification is retained.
- The discounted tiers require enrollment in a three-month billing cycle. Do not present the quarterly equivalent as an unrestricted purchase of a single month at that price.
- Prior authorization means help submitting information, not an insurer promise. Foundation patients should obtain both the care fee and expected pharmacy expense before deciding which tier is affordable.
- The public program page advertises cancellation but does not fully explain mid-term refunds, the pharmacy-order cutoff or a dispensing pharmacy identity. Request those details and the actual patient agreement before payment.
- The program is designed around women in midlife, but its own screening range extends from 18 to 64. A person outside the advertised audience or screening criteria should ask about suitability rather than assume the marketing description is a diagnosis.

The pharmacy behind the medicine
It does not name its pharmacy. Gaya Wellness does not publicly disclose which compounding pharmacy fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation — but it does mean the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program, including the highest-scoring ones.
What else do people ask about Gaya Wellness?
Does the $149 price include a GLP-1 medicine?
No. It is the Foundation monthly equivalent with a quarterly commitment, covering care and prescription access. Medication is separate. The Premium tier adds compounded medication. Ask the clinic and your pharmacy to price the complete route before comparing Foundation with a competitor that includes both care and a prescription supply.
Can I receive everything remotely?
Consultations, check-ins and follow-ups are virtual, and medication is delivered. Laboratory collection occurs near you. The program lists Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, Indiana and Tennessee as licensed states. Confirm your location at the time of each visit; fully virtual care still depends on the clinician being able to treat you there.
Are all tirzepatide doses one price?
The page specifically allows increases above 10mg per week, with discussion before a change. The broad Premium price therefore should not be represented as an unlimited-dose guarantee. Request the amount relevant to the actual prescription, and ask how a later clinical adjustment would affect the renewal or an already purchased term.
Does Foundation guarantee insurance approval?
No. The tier includes prior-authorization support, which helps the application process. Your insurer still applies its own coverage rules and the clinician still decides what is appropriate. Obtain the likely medicine expense if approval is declined, so that a care-only fee does not leave you with an unexpectedly expensive pharmacy bill.
Does the hormone tier make treatment better?
It adds another clinical service and medication category, at a higher price. Hormone replacement needs an individualized assessment of benefits, risks and alternatives. Do not choose it solely because the tier is described as more complete. Ask which symptoms or findings would justify it and whether weight care alone addresses your goals.
What should I establish before paying?
Ask for the precise preparation, dispensing pharmacy, full payment schedule, required testing costs and written cancellation terms. The program explains its tiers well but leaves these order-specific details incomplete publicly. Keep a copy of the agreement and ask how a medical change during a quarterly commitment affects both care and payment.
