9amHealth memberEvery person on the team is positive
Every person on the team is positive and a very helpful motivator! I have consistently lost weight due to the great exercise and nutrition advice!
9amHealth memberLost 13 pounds in only a few months
I’ve been trying to lose weight without seeing change. I felt helpless. With the 9amHealth program, I’ve gone from 179 lbs to 169 lbs and lost 13 pounds in only a few months!
Anonymous 9amHealth memberA breath of fresh air
After relocating across the country to a state with many healthcare challenges, I found it difficult to manage the multiple conditions I have. I waited for appointments on long waiting lists. As a black woman, to be listened to, supported, and cared for is so very rare in healthcare.
9amHealth memberA holistic approach to weight loss
I recently completed a six-month weight loss journey with 9am, and I am thrilled with the results. The comprehensive program, combined with the expert guidance of my consultant, Christian, helped me achieve my goals and transform my lifestyle. The 9am program is well integrated. They offer practical strategies and resources to help make sustainable lifestyle changes. The team's support and the wealth of information provided were key to my success. I highly recommend 9am to anyone looking to achieve lasting health and wellness.
9amHealth member9amHealth is AMAZING!
Dealing with 9amHealth has been the best experience in the healthcare field that I've ever had in my life. The staff is fantastic! They bent over backward to accommodate my requests and got me what I needed amazingly fast. I can't recommend them enough. Wish I could give them 10 stars!
9amHealth memberGreat service!
I work in the healthcare profession, I am very reluctant to go to a physician, because it’s so hard to get an appointment! Got my lab work done within a week and had medications that I probably should’ve been on for the last 10 years. So convenient I really wish this had been available a long time ago.
9amHealth member9amHealth is a blessing
9amHealth has been a blessing to me because of my work hours and the difficulty of seeing a doctor.
9amHealth memberSupport, empathy, and understanding
It’s like having patient advocates and a whole medical team at your fingertips 24 hours a day, seven days a week. I have been met with nothing but support, empathy, and understanding. I look forward to seeing weight loss results and telling my medical team about them.
9amHealth memberWe always have time for questions
We currently accept the following PPO plans:
- Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas
- Blue Shield of California
- Anthem of California
- Aetna in Texas
- Aetna in California
- UHC in California
- UHC in Texas
If covered by any of the above plans, you may be eligible for care and coverage of the 9amHealth membership fee as part of your benefits. We cannot guarantee eligibility. We are actively working on expanding our insurance coverage. Additionally, if your insurance covers your medications, copays may apply.
The 9amHealth membership is $149 per month, and if you have insurance, it might be covered completely. Insurance copays may apply. You can also use your HSA or FSA account for any out-of-pocket costs.
Medication costs are not included in the monthly membership price. If your insurance does not cover your medications, you may be eligible to take advantage of certain manufacturer savings programs. Please ask the 9amHealth Care Team for more information.
Our monthly membership is designed to ensure we provide comprehensive and personalized care. While you may initially need a prescription, our Care Team will follow up with you regularly to monitor your health and adjust dosages as necessary. A recent study from Blue Health Intelligence notes that some 58% of patients discontinue GLP-1 medications within 12 weeks because they didn't see the results they expected. We'll help create a treatment plan including medications you need to succeed long-term. Other ongoing care could involve ongoing lab tests or other medical evaluations. Continuous care is crucial in managing conditions like obesity effectively. By signing up for a monthly membership, you're investing in whole-body care beyond just a prescription.
Based on your medical history, lab tests, and insurance coverage, our Care Team will determine if medications are appropriate and which medication is most effective for you. For members who qualify for weight loss medications, our toolkit includes branded medications such as GLP-1 receptor agonists (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound) and generic medications approved by the FDA. We can help navigate insurance approvals.
- For GLP-1 medications approved for weight loss (Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda), you must meet specific diagnostic criteria such as a BMI greater than 30 or greater than 27 with co-conditions.
- If you qualify for and are prescribed Zepbound for obesity or excess weight with weight-related medical problems, there are two options: the Zepbound Autoinjector and Zepbound Vials. Our Care Team will help you understand the difference between each option, including out-of-pocket cost considerations based on your insurance coverage.
