In some cases, health insurance provides medical benefits. But in other cases, it can hinder it — for example, insurance companies can cause long wait times and high co-pays for patients looking to get GLP-1s for weight loss. But online pharmacies for these medications, such as Strut Health, are rising to the occasion. The fully virtual pharmacy doesn’t take insurance, but keeps drug prices consistently low, due to no overhead costs (from keeping things completely online).
Strut Health is a Fully Stocked Online Pharmacy
Strut Pharmacy was designed to “make important healthcare available to everyone.” It was also founded to remove the stigma from treatments including hair loss, sexual health, cold sores and weight loss. Additionally, patients can obtain prescriptions for nail formulas, skincare, allergies and more. The process is streamlined, and by not taking insurance, it makes for a streamlined process.
The Process is Simple
Getting a prescription through Strut Health involves three simple steps. First, patients choose what type of product they’re looking for. Then they fill out a form, detailing health history and goals. They’re matched with a doctor for a virtual appointment, and if necessary, the doctor will write a prescription. Finally, free two-day shipping gets the treatment to the patient’s door, and Strut will check in to ensure it’s a good match. Patients can then access free and unlimited follow-ups for the best possible results.

Strut Health Does Not Take Insurance
Strut Health does not accept insurance, which comes with both pros and cons. Obtaining many drugs, such as GLP-1s through insurance often leads to long wait times. Additionally, even with insurance coverage, drugs may still come at a premium cost — meanwhile Strut keeps prices at a fixed rate due to its online model. However, if a patient’s insurance plan is willing to cover GLP-1s for weight loss, it may make more sense for them to go through a company that takes insurance. Some sources, like through us at Strut Health, offer compounded versions of Semaglutide medications from compounding pharmacies. Strut’s compounded semaglutide, however, works with compounded pharmacies for generic compounded semaglutides, which only cost about $200 per month.
The Delivery Process is Easy
Strut makes the delivery process as easy as possible. In all 50 U.S. states, patients can take advantage of free two-day shipping, which is especially great when it comes to medication. If you opt to have it sent to your house, rather than your local pharmacy, the packaging is also discreet — everything comes in either unlabeled bubble mailers or FedEx boxes. That way, patients can rest assured that their medical information will stay private.
Everything Before a Prescription is Free, and Medications are Affordable
Unlike many online pharmacies of its kind, Strut does not have a membership fee. The doctor’s appointment and follow-ups are free, and patients only pay for the drug prescriptions. For Strut Health’s weight loss treatments, injectable semaglutide costs $289 per month; and an oral GLP-1 costs $149 per month, for both men and women. Strut accepts all kinds of credit cards; however charges to both HSA and FSA cards are going to depend on your particular plan and may be rejected by the card issuer.
Pros
Process is virtual
Medication ships direct to patient’s home or pharmacy, with free two-day shipping
No insurance needed
Patients can message their doctor at any time
Cons
Doesn’t take insurance
Not available internationally
Compounded GLP-1 still expensive
Strut is a Top Insurance-Free Option
Not everyone has insurance that covers GLP-1s for weight loss. However, many brand name injectable GLP-1s like Ozempic or Wegovy can cost well over $1,000 out-of-pocket. Strut’s compounded semaglutide costs between $150 and $290 without insurance, making it much more accessible. Obviously it still isn’t cheap, but that — along with free virtual doctor’s visits — makes it more affordable than it normally would be, and might even be less than an insurance copay, if the medication is covered at all.
FAQs
Can I order more than one month at a time?
Strut only offers patients the ability to order a 90-day supply for select products only. To check, put your product of choice in the cart. Everything else is month-to-month.
Are follow-ups free?
To ensure patients understand the product and are getting the best results, customer service and doctors are available at any time. Follow-ups are free and completely unlimited.
Are Strut services cheaper, even without health insurance?
Because follow-ups are completely free, customers can rest assured they will be saving money on office visits. And because GLP-1s are so expensive without insurance, the compounded GLP-1 is much more affordable.
Are orders refundable?
By law, patients can not make returns for their prescriptions. However, patients can reach out to customer service if there is something wrong with their prescription. Patients are also able to delay, suspend, or cancel a subscription with 48 hours notice.
Where does Strut ship to?
Strut ships to all 50 U.S. states. At this time, however, it does not ship internationally.
