Noom Med is Noom’s prescription weight loss arm, and it now runs six different plans instead of one flat price. That’s the first thing to know before you sign up. In this Noom Med review, I’ll walk through every plan and its real price straight from Noom’s own pricing page, plus what you get, how to cancel, and where people run into trouble.
Quick Verdict
Good for: people who want behavioral coaching bundled with their GLP-1, and people who want a lower-cost microdose option to start.
Skip it if: you just want the cheapest possible semaglutide with no app, no coaching, and no quarterly billing.
Price right now: plans range from $69 to start (metformin pill, then $99 a month) up to $149 to start for the tirzepatide plan (then $299 a month). All prices are billed quarterly after the first month. I checked these on Noom’s official pricing page today.
What Is Noom Med, Exactly?
Noom Med is the medical side of the Noom app. You get a clinician who can prescribe weight loss medication, plus the same habit and food tracking tools Noom has always had. It’s not one program. It’s actually six, and they’re priced very differently depending on which medication you get and whether it’s a brand-name drug or a compounded one from Noom’s own pharmacy partner.
Sounds simple, right? Well, hold on, because the plan names are honestly a little confusing at first.
Noom Med Plans and Prices (Checked Today)
Here’s every plan, straight from Noom’s pricing page. All of them are FSA and HSA eligible except the telehealth branded plan, which is a little different.
Microdose GLP-1Rx Program $79 to get started, then $199 a month, billed quarterly. This is Noom’s lower dose compounded semaglutide plan. It’s built for people who are worried about side effects and want to start small. Medication is included in the price.
GLP-1Rx Program: $129 to get started, then $249 a month, billed quarterly. This is Noom’s standard compounded semaglutide plan, full dose. Medication is included.
GLP-1Rx Plus Program: $149 to get started, then $299 a month, billed quarterly. This one uses compounded tirzepatide, which hits both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. It’s Noom’s priciest medication plan, and medication is included in that price.
Proactive Health GLP-1Rx Program $149 every 4 weeks (first term runs 15 weeks, renewals run 16 weeks). This plan bundles a microdose GLP-1 with at-home testing for 17 health biomarkers. It’s more of a health monitoring plan than a straight weight loss plan.
Weight Loss Pill (Metformin) $69 to get started, then $99 a month, billed quarterly. This is an oral pill, not an injection, and it’s the cheapest medication plan Noom offers. Worth knowing: metformin is not FDA-approved for weight loss; Noom says this themselves right on the page.
GLP-1Rx Program Telehealth for Branded Med: $39 to get started, then $99 a month, billed quarterly. This is the odd one out. This plan gets you a clinician who can write you a prescription for a brand-name drug like Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro. But the medication cost is not included here. You pay for that separately through your pharmacy, either with insurance or out of pocket.
I’ll be honest here: that $39 or $99 number can be misleading if you don’t read closely. It’s easy to see “starting at $39” and think that’s your whole GLP-1 cost. It’s not. That’s just the clinician visit and prescription. The drug itself, which can run several hundred dollars a month without insurance, is on you.
What Medications Does Noom Med Offer?
Noom Med can prescribe compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide through their own pharmacy setup, plus brand-name options including Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Mounjaro when medically appropriate. There’s also an oral metformin option and a Wegovy pill for people who qualify.
One fact worth flagging clearly: the compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products Noom uses are not FDA-approved. That’s a standard disclosure across the compounded GLP-1 space, not unique to Noom, but you should know it going in.
How Signup Works
You start with a short online questionnaire about your health history, weight goals, and any current medications. From there, a licensed clinician reviews your answers and, if you qualify, writes a prescription. Most plans ship medication to your door if you’re prescribed a compounded option. The branded telehealth plan routes your prescription to a pharmacy or has it delivered depending on your insurance setup.
Does Noom Med Take Insurance?
Sort of, and it depends which plan. The compounded plans (Microdose, GLP-1Rx, GLP-1Rx Plus) are self-pay and priced as all-inclusive packages, so insurance doesn’t factor in there. The Telehealth for Branded Med plan is the one built around insurance. You pay Noom’s $39 to $99 fee for the clinical visit and prescription, then your insurance (or lack of it) determines what you pay the pharmacy for Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound itself.

How to Cancel Noom Med
You cancel through Noom’s Subscription Portal or inside the app under account settings. Here’s the part that trips people up: refunds are only available if a prescription hasn’t been written yet. Once a clinician writes your prescription, Noom says no refunds, period. For the Telehealth for Branded Med plan, the refund window is 7 days and only if you haven’t had a clinical visit yet.
So if you’re thinking about trying it, cancel or request a refund fast if it’s not for you, and definitely before that first prescription gets written. Also worth knowing: Noom doesn’t let you pause a subscription. It’s active or canceled, nothing in between. [link: How to Cancel a GLP-1 Subscription]
Common Complaints
Noom sits at a pretty solid 4.2 to 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot with an A+ rating from the BBB, and a lot of the written reviews are genuinely positive about the coaching and support team. But dig into Reddit and the tone shifts. The recurring complaints there are about billing surprises, the quarterly charge catching people off guard, and cancellation being more of a hassle than expected. A few users have also reported confusion or frustration around Medicare eligibility and which medications they could actually get prescribed. Kind of a pain if you’re not reading the fine print closely before you sign up.
Who Should Use Noom Med
If you want a structured program with daily lessons, a coach, food logging, and a clinician all in one place, and you don’t mind paying a bit more for that, Noom Med is a reasonable pick. The Microdose plan in particular is a decent low-cost entry point if you’re nervous about side effects. [link: Best GLP-1 Programs page]
Who Should Skip Noom Med
If coaching and habit tracking don’t interest you and you just want the lowest monthly medication cost, you can likely find compounded semaglutide for less elsewhere without the app bundled in. And if you’re on Medicare or have a complicated insurance situation, ask very specific questions before you pay anything, based on the complaints I found. [link: Compare GLP-1 Providers]

My Honest Take
I would not call Noom Med the cheapest way to get a GLP-1, and it’s not trying to be. What surprised me here was just how many plans there are and how different the pricing structure is between them. If the coaching and app side of Noom actually appeals to you, the bundle makes more sense. If you’re purely price shopping for a compounded GLP-1, it’s worth comparing this against other providers before you commit to a quarterly charge. Talk with your doctor about which medication and dose actually fits your health situation before choosing any program.
