The first precision biology–based telehealth service designed to improve GLP-1 tolerability, safety, and effectiveness is now available as a self-pay option within employer populations.
Mountain View, CA — Digbi Health today announced the expansion of its nationally deployed employer-sponsored GLP-1 telemedicine program to include a new self-pay access and fulfillment pathway for employees and eligible family members who may not have access to GLP-1 weight-loss medications through their employer-sponsored programs.
This expansion makes the first precision biology–powered telehealth service accessible to a broader population within employer ecosystems.
Digbi Health’s GLP-1 Program is a comprehensive, employer-backed telemedicine solution—now expanded with a self-pay option—that streamlines every step of the GLP-1 journey for employees and their eligible family members, from clinical evaluation to prescription to fulfillment.
Digbi Health’s Precision GLP-1 Program includes:
- Clinically supervised access to FDA-approved GLP-1 medications, including Wegovy®, Ozempic®, and Zepbound®, with access to an introductory cash price of $199 per month for Ozempic® and Wegovy® injection pens for Digbi self-pay users, along with clear, transparent pricing and no hidden fees.
- Flexible fulfillment options, including in-pharmacy pickup for Wegovy® or Zepbound® pens and convenient home delivery for Zepbound® vial formulations.
- Virtual consultations with licensed clinicians who determine eligibility, order all required labs (included at no cost), and write prescriptions when medically appropriate.
- Continuous clinical oversight to track progress, manage side effects, and adjust titration or care plans to improve tolerability and adherence.
- Precision biology diagnostics, including DNA testing, gut microbiome testing, and continuous glucose monitoring to identify insulin resistance, glucose dysregulation, and biological factors that influence GLP-1 effectiveness.
- AI-powered nutritional guidance to optimize protein intake, reduce GI symptoms, improve gut health, and support natural GLP-1 production.
- A personalized, member-first experience that prioritizes safety, tolerability, and metabolic effectiveness—not just access to medication.
The Biology Problem: Why Many GLP-1 Users Quit or Don’t Respond
While GLP-1 medications such as Wegovy®, Ozempic®, and Zepbound® have reshaped metabolic health, real-world outcomes remain inconsistent:
-
30–40% of users experience significant GI-related adverse effects
-
Many experience hair loss, muscle loss, constipation, and nutrient deficiencies
-
Nearly 25% lose less than 5% of their body weight, driven by insulin resistance, impaired glucose control, or microbiome-mediated variability in drug response.
These issues drive early discontinuation—creating avoidable waste and limiting long-term outcomes.
Digbi Health’s precision-biology approach fills these gaps by addressing the underlying metabolic drivers of GLP-1 tolerability and effectiveness.
Every Digbi-covered and Digbi self-pay member receives a fully integrated, biology-driven care model, including:
-
Clinical prescribing and titration pathways for Wegovy®, Ozempic®, and Zepbound®
-
DNA analysis for metabolic risk, appetite regulation, weight regain risk, and drug responsiveness
-
Gut microbiome testing to identify inflammation, digestive vulnerabilities, and GLP-1 degradation pathways
-
Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to personalize glucose control and predict medication responsiveness
-
AI-driven meal scoring and nutrition coaching informed by glucose, microbiome, and genetic insights to reduce side effects
-
GI care and food-as-medicine interventions to enhance natural GLP-1 production and improve drug tolerability
“GLP-1 tolerability and effectiveness depend heavily on biology. By expanding self-pay access to employees and their families, we ensure that more people receive safe, personalized care—guided by genetics, the microbiome, and glucose data—to improve outcomes and reduce avoidable discontinuation.”
