Visit Sesame CareThe verdict
Midi Health edges out Sesame Care on the Mom-Tested Score, 79 to 77 (B− vs C). Women in midlife who want a real clinician relationship — often billable to a PPO plan — and who can genuinely get to a scheduled video visit, with the medication priced openly before they commit.
Sesame Care is still a genuine option — the marketplace route to real brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound through an actual clinician video visit — reassuring and on-label, but you're booking an appointment and paying a membership on top of the drug. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

Midi Health
Ranked #15 · Grade B−
What we like
- A full dose-by-dose price list published openly, shipping and supplies included, with "No membership fees" stated on the page
- In-network with most PPO plans, so the visit can run through insurance rather than out of pocket
- Both molecules as injections and as sublinguals, plus brand-name GLP-1s sent to your own pharmacy
The caveats
- A scheduled 30-minute video visit is the only way in, with the questionnaire due 24 hours early and a text confirmation required to keep the slot
- The price climbs steeply with your dose — semaglutide more than doubles from $165.90 to $355 as you titrate
- Visit fees are billed on top of the medication: $250 for the first and $150 for each one after, if you're self-pay
Sesame Care
Ranked #19 · Grade C
What we like
- Real FDA-approved brand medication — Wegovy (pill and pen) and Zepbound — not compounded
- An actual scheduled clinician video visit with labs, more oversight than a questionnaire
- Established nationwide marketplace across all 50 states
The caveats
- Brand-only now — compounded semaglutide isn't currently available, so it's not a budget-vial route
- Requires a scheduled video visit, the hardest of these to fit around nap and daycare
- A membership fee is billed separately from the medication — the true monthly is two numbers
