Two Ways to Get Started

Clear Access MD Members

Included in your membership — no extra fee

Weight management is part of your primary care with us. Dr. Jebelev already knows your history, medications, and goals, so your weight plan fits into the rest of your care rather than sitting apart from it.

Stand-alone Medical Weight Management

$99/month*

Already have a primary care doctor you're happy with? You don't need to switch. Our stand-alone program gives you physician-supervised weight management while you keep your current doctor for everything else. The program includes one visit per month, in the clinic or by telehealth, plus phone and text access for questions about your weight management. Your current doctor remains your go-to for other health concerns, and with your permission we're glad to keep them informed of your plan.

*Medications and ongoing lab testing are not included. Labs for your initial evaluation are included at no extra cost.

What's Included

A thorough initial evaluation
Your weight history, current medications, health conditions, and goals, with a review of what has and hasn't worked for you before.
Initial labs included
Baseline lab work for your first evaluation at no extra charge.
A personalized plan
Which may include nutrition, activity, sleep, and medication, depending on what fits you.
GLP-1 medication evaluation and management
When medically appropriate, including choosing a medication, adjusting the dose over time, and managing side effects.
Regular follow-up
To check your progress, adjust your plan, and monitor how you're tolerating treatment (stand-alone program: one visit per month, in the clinic or by telehealth).
Direct access to your physician
Reach Dr. Jebelev by phone or text between visits with questions about your plan or side effects (for stand-alone patients, this covers weight management topics).

Medication Options

Not everyone needs medication, and medication is prescribed only when it's medically appropriate for you. When it is, Dr. Jebelev will talk through the options, the expected costs, and what to expect — and help you choose what fits your health and your budget.

FDA-Approved Medications

Depending on your health history and coverage, options may include:

Weekly injections:
Wegovy® (semaglutide) or Zepbound® (tirzepatide)
Daily tablets:
Wegovy® tablets (semaglutide) or Foundayo™ (orforglipron)
For patients with type 2 diabetes:
Ozempic® (semaglutide) or Mounjaro® (tirzepatide)

Prescriptions are sent to the pharmacy of your choice. Your cost depends on your insurance coverage, manufacturer programs, or eligibility for the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge (see below).

Compounded Medications

For some patients, a compounded medication prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy may be appropriate. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections are among the options we can discuss, including cost, at your visit.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness, or quality. Compounded medications are prescribed only when medically appropriate for the individual patient.

For Medicare Patients: The Medicare GLP-1 Bridge

For years, Medicare drug plans generally haven't covered medications prescribed for weight management. That changed for many people on July 1, 2026, when Medicare launched the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, a temporary federal program that runs through December 31, 2027.

If you qualify, you pay $50 per month for certain GLP-1 medications at participating pharmacies, including:

·Wegovy® (injection and tablets)
·Zepbound® KwikPen®
·Foundayo™

Who May Qualify

You must be enrolled in Medicare drug coverage (a stand-alone Part D plan or a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage), be 18 or older, and meet Medicare's clinical criteria at the time you started GLP-1 treatment:

·A BMI of 35 or higher, or
·A BMI of 30 or higher with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or chronic kidney disease stage 3a or higher, or
·A BMI of 27 or higher with prediabetes, a prior heart attack or stroke, or symptomatic peripheral artery disease

If you have type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, or MASH (a type of fatty liver disease), GLP-1 coverage generally goes through your regular Part D plan instead of the Bridge.

How We Help

The Bridge requires a prescription and a prior authorization submitted by your doctor. As part of the program, Dr. Jebelev evaluates whether a covered medication is right for you, confirms whether you're likely to meet the criteria, prescribes, completes the prior authorization, and follows your progress.

You can fill a Bridge prescription at participating pharmacies. Amazon Pharmacy, for example, joined the program in August 2026 and offers home delivery. The $50 copay is set by Medicare and is the same at participating pharmacies.

Good to Know

·The $50 copay does not count toward your Part D deductible or out-of-pocket maximum, and Extra Help (Low-Income Subsidy) does not apply to it.
·Approval is determined by Medicare, not by Clear Access MD.
·Clear Access MD does not bill Medicare. Our $99/month program fee is paid directly under a private agreement, and Medicare does not reimburse it. Your Medicare coverage and your relationship with your current doctor stay the same.

We build your plan together, handle prescriptions and paperwork, and follow up regularly to fine-tune what's working.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to leave my current primary care doctor?

No. The stand-alone program is designed for people who are happy with their doctor. You keep your current doctor for your primary care, and with your permission we'll keep them informed of your weight management plan.

Can I bring up other health concerns?

The stand-alone program focuses on weight management. For other health issues, please see your current primary care doctor. If you'd like one doctor for everything, full membership includes weight management along with all of your primary care.

Will I definitely get a GLP-1 prescription?

Not necessarily. Medication is prescribed only when it's medically appropriate for you. For some patients, other approaches may be a better starting point.

What does the $99/month cover?

One physician visit per month (in the clinic or by telehealth), phone and text access for weight management questions, medication management, and help with prior authorizations. Labs for your initial evaluation are included. Medications and ongoing lab testing are billed separately.

How much will my medication cost?

It depends on the medication and your coverage. We'll walk through your options — insurance, manufacturer programs, the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, or compounded options — before you decide.

I'm on Medicare. Can you still help me?

Yes. Many Medicare patients join the stand-alone program while keeping their current doctor. If you may qualify for the Medicare GLP-1 Bridge, we'll help with the prescription and prior authorization.

Can I switch to full membership later?

Yes. If you'd like Clear Access MD to become your primary care practice, weight management is included in membership at no extra charge. You can switch as soon as you sign the membership agreement, and what you've already paid for the current month is credited in full toward your membership.

Can I cancel?

Yes, with 30 days' written notice.

Do you see patients in Spanish?

Yes. Dr. Jebelev cares for patients in both English and Spanish.
