GLP-1 Provider Report Card: May 2026 Pricing Shifts
Prices verified May 2026 · Updated for mid-2026
May 2026 Market Snapshot
The GLP-1 provider market shifted significantly in spring 2026. Foundayo's April launch and the upcoming Medicare Bridge are reshaping pricing and positioning across the board. Here's what changed this month.
Major Developments
Foundayo Launch (April 1, 2026)
The biggest market event of the year. Eli Lilly's oral GLP-1 is now available through LillyDirect and retail pharmacies. Early reports suggest telehealth platforms are racing to add Foundayo to their formularies. This creates competitive pressure on compounded oral products.
Medicare GLP-1 Bridge Confirmed for July 1
CMS confirmed Foundayo, Wegovy (all forms), and Zepbound KwikPen at $50/month for eligible Medicare beneficiaries. The BALANCE Model has been delayed — the Bridge extends through December 2027 instead of the original 6-month window.
GobyMeds Holds at $99
Despite market movement, GobyMeds maintains its $99/month compounded semaglutide pricing. At the current market floor, this remains the most aggressive pricing for a LegitScript-certified provider.

New Entrants to Watch

Programs to Watch Carefully
- SHED at higher doses: The price jump from $297 to $399+ at 7.5mg remains a significant consideration. Patients should factor this in before starting
