Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You'd like a real conversation with a physician, by phone or video, before you start semaglutide.
- You prefer paying for about three months at once, or in installments, over a monthly subscription.
- You might move up to tirzepatide later, which Big Easy prices at about $217 a month.
Skip it if
- You want to pay for one month and then reassess.
- You need insurance billing or a prior authorization.
What's included
On Big Easy's pricing page, the base semaglutide formula from Hallandale runs $495 per 12 weeks. OptioRx offers a blend with niacinamide (B3) in 10-week packages that works out to the same monthly figure. Brand-new GLP-1 patients pay less for their first package. Dose changes don't change the price.
Included: a 30-minute first appointment with a physician by phone or video, direct portal messaging for as long as you're in care, and a 15-minute live follow-up every quarter. The package also covers the vial, syringes, alcohol pads and refrigerated overnight shipping.
Big Easy calls itself an independent clinic with no pharmacy ownership. Its physicians are contracted and paid for their time, not per prescription. There's no membership fee.
From sign-up to refills
- Schedule your consultation and pay the booking fee, which Big Easy applies to treatment or returns if you don't qualify.
- Complete the intake paperwork. Upload labs from the past year if you have them, since the physician may ask.
- See the physician live. Starter plans usually begin at the lowest dose and step up once or twice during the package.
- Payment is taken when the prescription is sent, typically the same evening. The pharmacy then ships it cold.

Common questions about Big Easy Weight Loss
- Is Big Easy Weight Loss legit for semaglutide?
- Big Easy is a Louisiana telehealth platform whose contracted physicians see every patient live. Licensed 503A and 503B pharmacies compound the semaglutide, so it isn't Wegovy or Ozempic and isn't FDA-approved. Big Easy's own disclaimer says as much.
- How much does Big Easy Weight Loss semaglutide cost?
- $495 for a 12-week package, or about $179 a month, at any dose. It includes the physician visits, supplies and shipping. Installments split the package into monthly payments.
- Can I switch to Big Easy Weight Loss from another program?
- Yes. Create an account, complete the intake and book a virtual visit. The physician usually tries to continue your current care path unless there's a medical reason not to.
- Does Big Easy Weight Loss accept HSA cards?
- Yes, HSA and FSA cards both work. If a card is declined online, Big Easy says a phone call usually lets them process it by hand.
