Key Takeaways

  • If you're already enrolled in the Costco Weight Loss program, you can continue without any changes to your benefits.
  • Costco members who are interested in weight loss can sign up for Success by Sesame, Sesame's online weight loss program. The program includes lab work, video visits, a dedicated provider, messaging, and access to prescriptions for proven weight loss medications like GLP-1s.
  • Members with a prescription for Wegovy or Ozempic can access their medication for just $349 per month (50% off the traditional price) when self-paying at Costco Pharmacy

What happens if I am currently enrolled in the Costco Weight Loss program?

As a current enrollee in the Costco Weight Loss program, you will be able to continue as a participant in the program. You’ll continue to work with the same provider and there will be no changes to your program benefits. You will continue to be billed at a rate of $179 every 3 months.

You'll also still have access to discounted GLP-1 medications through your Costco Membership. If you're self-paying, both Ozempic and Wegovy can be purchased at Costco Pharmacy for just $349/mo with a valid prescription.

As a Costco member, can I continue to get discounts on other Sesame services?

Yes, Costco members will continue to get the best price on the majority of Sesame services, including $29 primary care visits, $79 virtual therapy visits, $72 health checks and 10% off other Sesame services, including the Success by Sesame weight loss program. Visit the Costco Membership Perks page to learn more, browse discounts, and activate your account.

What if I am interested in weight loss?

Sesame offers a comprehensive online weight loss program, Success by Sesame, that is designed to help patients meet their weight loss goals while working with a board-certified provider.

The program is priced at $99/mo. and includes video consults with a licensed clinician, labs, messaging, access to prescriptions for weight loss medications, and ongoing care. If you receive a prescription for Wegovy or Ozempic, you can save up to 50% on these medications when self-paying at Costco Pharmacy.
