Frequently Asked Questions

SlimPath is an online healthcare platform founded with the goal of bringing more convenient, affordable health care to all Americans. Our clinical team is made up of doctors, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists here to help you make informed decisions about which treatments are right for you.

Our medical team follows strict guidelines to make sure we only treat you when it's safe and appropriate to do so. If it’s not in your best interest to use us based on what you tell us about your health history or symptoms, we’ll advise you to see a doctor or nurse practitioner in person.

If you are required to speak with a provider, most consultations take about 15 minutes on average. The time can vary depending on which service you choose, but in most states our medical team aims to review your information within 24 business hours.

A weight loss program takes a scientific approach to weight loss and helps you shed pounds under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Medical weight loss programs also often include prescription medications such as Ozempic (prescribed off-label for weight loss) or Wegovy to ensure long-term success. These new weight loss injections are an integral component in losing and keeping off weight when they’re combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

A comprehensive medical weight loss program typically starts with a healthcare professional reviewing your medical history and asking about weight loss goals.

After that, a healthcare professional prescribes weight loss medication, if medically appropriate, and monitors your progress in the months to come.

SlimPath will work with your insurance provider to determine coverage for your GLP-1 medication. The cost will depend on your treatment and personal insurance coverage.

If your insurance doesn’t cover the medication, you may still pay out of pocket for certain cash-pay medication options.
