Questions people ask while comparing
Is this the same as Ozempic® or Wegovy®?
No. VoyoCare offers compounded semaglutide, prepared by a licensed US compounding pharmacy for individual patients. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same products as Ozempic® or Wegovy®.
Does the price go up when my dose goes up?
Semaglutide: no, it's $149 every 4 weeks at every dose, locked for 12 months. Tirzepatide has three clear price levels, and your price only changes when your clinician changes your dose level.
I'm with another provider. Can I switch?
Yes. Start the 5-minute assessment and tell us about your current treatment. A licensed clinician reviews your history and decides what's right for you. If you're switching from semaglutide to tirzepatide, your first period is $179.
When am I charged?
Only after a licensed clinician approves your treatment. If you're not approved, you pay nothing.
What if it isn't working for me?
Your Fit Check around week 4 is scheduled from day 1. If your first approach isn't the right fit, the Not-a-Fit Plan covers a dose adjustment or a switch to tirzepatide if clinically appropriate, with no extra consult fee.
Do I need insurance?
No. VoyoCare is self-pay. There are no prior authorizations or appeals.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time before your next billing date. No contract, no cancellation fee.
One price. Every dose. Never on your own.
