Prescription GLP-1 medications continue to be one of the most talked-about categories in weight management, but high costs and insurance hurdles can make access difficult. Arbor is a more affordable option that connects eligible patients with licensed healthcare providers online and offering transparent monthly pricing.
The telehealth platform provides access to two compounded GLP-1 treatment options
:Compounded Semaglutide
Arbor's lowest-cost program starts at $99 per month. The once-weekly injectable medication is designed to help reduce appetite and manage cravings as part of a physician-supervised weight-loss plan.
Compounded Tirzepatide
For patients seeking an alternative treatment pathway, Arbor offers compounded tirzepatide plans starting at $149 per month. The medication combines
GLP-1 and GIP receptor activity and is intended to support appetite management and weight-loss goals under clinical supervision.
What makes Arbor different?
According to Arbor, the company's biggest differentiator is its pricing structure. Unlike some programs that increase monthly costs as medication dosages rise, Arbor says the monthly rate remains locked in after enrollment.
Membership includes:
- Medication (if prescribed)
- Provider consultations
- Ongoing clinical check-ins
- Dose adjustments
- Patient support
- Free shipping

The company also states that plans are HSA/FSA eligible and do not require insurance coverage.
How Arbor works
Getting started begins with an online health assessment. Patients provide medical information that is reviewed by a licensed U.S. clinician, who determines whether treatment is appropriate.
If prescribed, medication is dispensed by a licensed pharmacy and shipped directly to the patient's home.
The process generally includes:
- Complete an online assessment.
- Receive a review from a licensed clinician.
- Obtain a prescription if medically appropriate.
- Receive medication through home delivery.
- Continue treatment with ongoing provider support.
