How to Pay for GLP-1 Medications

We’ve found a win-win way to pay for new GLP-1 weight loss medications. These new drugs are effective for weight loss (average weight loss of over 15% of your weight after 6-months), but very expensive. The average cost for Wegovy is $1,300 per month; and the average cost for Monjauro is over $1,000.  Most employer-covered insurance does not cover these drugs, which means you will be paying over $1,000/month to get these weight loss medications.

Get paid to take the drugs with apps like DietBet and HealthyWage. These apps pay you cash prizes when you lose weight. So, you can take the drugs that cause weight loss and get paid money when the drugs work and you lose weight. On HealthyWage you can get paid up to $10,000 for losing weight.

You pick how much weight you want to lose, how many months you want to lose it in, and your prize (up to $10,000)! The average participant gets paid over $1,300 for losing over 43 pounds. We talked to some folks who did a HealthyWage challenge:

Preston P. won $3,007 for losing 160 pounds. “I’m constantly looking for ways to make money and get ahead. Using HealthyWage to lose weight motivated me to stay on track with my eating and exercising by having ‘skin in the game!’ When I made a financial commitment, it helped me follow through!”

Jennifer V. lost 50 pounds and won $2,097 with HealthyWage. “I was 209 pounds when I started [my HealthyWager]. I had been feeling really tired, unhealthy, and miserable. Diabetes runs in my family and I knew I had to lose at least 50 pounds. I thought, well if I’m going to [lose] it, I might as well earn some money while I’m doing it.”

Sara J. won $3,226 with HealthyWage for losing 79 pounds. “I can honestly say, I like myself again. I don’t grimace when I catch my reflection out of the corner of my eye. I don’t find excuses to avoid doing difficult outside chores. I am open to new adventures (20-mile hike or fitness classes at the gym). Heck, I even went back to college because I finally had enough of my lost confidence back to feel I could do better for myself and that I deserved better.”

Lashawn B. joined HealthyWage and won $4,259 for losing 120 pounds. “I have NEVER been consistent with my weight. I was determined to lose the weight, but just couldn’t get motivated to start. HealthyWage was what I needed to get back to my healthy lifestyle! Through this process, I not only lost 120 pounds, but also learned lifelong strategies to lose and maintain my weight loss.”

If you’ve been looking into Ozempic, Mounjaro, or Wegovy, but are unsure if you can afford it, check out HealthyWage.
