Klinic vs Klarity Health
Both bill insurance rather than pushing you to cash-pay compounded product, which already puts them ahead of most of this market. The deciding factor is which coverage you actually hold — and on that, they split cleanly.

Our verdict
This comes down to your card. If you have Medicare or Medicaid, Klinic is close to unique — almost no GLP-1 telehealth provider accepts government coverage, and being able to get visits at $0 plus copay changes the economics entirely. For everyone else, Klarity is the stronger service: cheaper self-pay visits, 400+ published plans, 1,000+ providers, unlimited messaging, and — critically — a clear statement that it prescribes brand-name FDA-approved medication only, which Klinic does not provide. Klinic's Retatrutide references are also a caution: that compound is investigational and not an approved weight-loss treatment.
Frequently asked questions
Does any GLP-1 telehealth provider take Medicare?
Very few. Klinic states it accepts all major insurances including Medicare and Medicaid, which makes it close to unique among the providers we have reviewed. Whether your specific plan covers GLP-1 medication for weight management remains a separate determination by your insurer.
Which one tells you what medication you're getting?
Klarity. It states plainly that it prescribes brand-name FDA-approved medications only — Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Saxenda. Klinic does not state whether its GLP-1s are brand-name or compounded, which is the single most important fact to establish before your first appointment.
