Switching to Cora

Already taking a GLP-1? Here’s how switching to Cora works.

If you already take a GLP-1 medication and want to move to Cora, have a photo of your current prescription or your vial or pen label ready, along with the date and amount of your last dose. A licensed provider at Wasef Health, PC reviews your history, usually within 24 hours, and decides whether compounded medication is appropriate for you and at what dose; your current dose is not guaranteed. Sign up first and cancel your current provider second, which helps you avoid a gap in treatment. Cora does not prescribe or compound medication. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products.

Who this is for

Who is this guide for?

This guide is for adults who already take a GLP-1 medication and are thinking about moving to Cora. It covers three situations:

  • You take compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide through another telehealth provider and want to change providers, for example because of price, a membership fee or service.
  • You take a brand-name GLP-1 such as Wegovy or Zepbound and your insurance coverage ended or changed. Check the appeal route, the manufacturers’ self-pay prices and Medicare’s GLP-1 Bridge first; our coverage guide walks through each one.
  • You stopped a GLP-1 a while ago and want to restart. How long you have been off matters, so tell the provider the date of your last dose; see restarting after a break.

Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products.

What to have ready

What do I need to switch to Cora?

Have these ready when you start your online assessment. The provider uses them to decide whether treatment is appropriate for you and at what dose:

  • A photo of your current prescription, or of your vial or pen label, showing the medication and its strength.
  • The date and amount of your last dose. If you have missed doses recently, say so.
  • Your current provider’s name.

The online health questionnaire asks about the rest of your health history.

How the provider decides

How does the provider decide my dose?

A licensed provider at Wasef Health, PC reviews your questionnaire, the photo of your prescription or label, and your last-dose date, usually within 24 hours, and decides whether treatment is appropriate for you. Not everyone qualifies; the refund policy explains what happens if a provider finds you ineligible.

If you already take compounded medication, the provider decides whether to continue, adjust or restart at a lower dose. Your current dose is not guaranteed: how long it has been since your last dose, how you tolerated it and your health history all factor in. Coming from a brand-name medication? Brand-name and compounded doses are not interchangeable, and there is no dose conversion between them; your provider determines the right dose based on your history.

Your prescription does not carry over from your current provider. If treatment is appropriate, the provider writes a new prescription, and a US-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy prepares and dispenses the medication. Cora does not prescribe or compound medication. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products.

Timing

When should I cancel my current provider?

Sign up first and cancel second, which helps you avoid a gap in treatment. Before you do either, check your current provider’s next renewal or billing date and its cancellation terms: how to cancel, how much notice it needs, and what happens to a shipment already being prepared.

  1. Check your current provider’s next renewal date and cancellation terms.
  2. Start your Cora assessment and wait for the provider’s decision.
  3. Once the provider has decided on your treatment, cancel your current provider before its next renewal date.
  4. Tell the provider when you took your last dose and how much medication you have left, and follow the provider’s instructions on when to take your first dose.

The GLP-1 Telehealth Cancellation & Refund Policy Index lists 18 providers’ published cancellation and renewal terms, each sourced to the provider’s own policy.

Step-by-step cancel guides

From a brand-name GLP-1

If you take a brand-name GLP-1 such as Wegovy or Zepbound

Check your brand-name options before you pay cash for anything. Ask your prescriber about resubmitting a prior authorization or appealing a denial. Eli Lilly (LillyDirect) and Novo Nordisk (NovoCare Pharmacy) sell Zepbound and Wegovy directly to self-paying patients with a valid prescription, and if you have Medicare Part D, you may qualify for Medicare’s GLP-1 Bridge (per Lilly, Novo Nordisk and CMS, checked September 24, 2026). Our coverage guide lists the current prices and rules, with sources.

If you are considering compounded medication, know what it is and is not. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. They are prepared by state-licensed pharmacies based on a valid prescription from a licensed provider. Compounded medications are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products. Brand-name and compounded doses are not interchangeable, and there is no dose conversion between them; your provider determines the right dose based on your history. A licensed provider decides whether compounded medication is appropriate for you.
