What is W8MD Weight Loss, Sleep & MedSpa?
W8MD is a medical weight loss and sleep medicine practice with offices in Northeast Philadelphia and in Brooklyn, New York. Weight loss is the main business. It describes its care as physician supervised, but it does not name its physicians or their credentials. Its weight loss options include semaglutide and tirzepatide, the brand names Wegovy and Zepbound, and older prescription options such as phentermine, Qsymia, Contrave, Saxenda and orlistat. It also offers sleep apnea screening and home sleep studies, meal replacement shakes, IV nutrition, a Lipo B B12 shot and med spa services. It does not offer hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity care.
Care starts with a medical and medication history review, and the program includes follow-up visits and maintenance planning. It says patients from New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut and nearby areas may be served through its offices or by telehealth when clinically and legally appropriate.
This listing is for its Philadelphia office at 1718 Welsh Rd.
What does it cost?
It prints starting prices for self-pay GLP-1 programs. In its own words: "Semaglutide $59.99+ per week self-pay starting-dose programs for eligible patients". Tirzepatide self-pay starting-dose programs start at $69.99 per week and up. These are starting-dose prices, and it says self-pay pricing varies by dose and source. It also says final cost depends on dose, medication source, pharmacy, visit type, insurance coverage, shipping, lab needs and program details.
It accepts many insurance plans for qualifying visits. Medication coverage is separate and depends on your plan. It offers self-pay options when insurance does not cover the drug. It does not publish a consultation fee.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask whether the medication behind the $59.99 or $69.99 weekly price is brand name or compounded. It says compounded GLP-1 medications are not FDA-approved and are not the same as Wegovy or Zepbound, so you want to know which one you would get. Ask what the weekly price becomes at higher doses, whether it covers the medication and the visits, and what lab work and shipping add. Ask who will prescribe for you and what their credentials are. If you plan to use insurance, ask what your visit copay will be and whether it handles prior authorization.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in or near Northeast Philadelphia and want a weight loss practice with published starting prices, insurance for visits, and sleep apnea testing in the same place. If you want hormone, peptide or longevity care, it does not offer them.
