What our community is saying

A 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.

Natasha Franklin, 9amHealth member

Great Experience

As a retired gastroenterologist, I have worked with the expert team for the past several weeks and made significant headway in combating diabetes, hyperlipemia, and metabolic syndrome. The availability of talent and convenience of telemedicine are outstanding features of 9amHealth. I am excited about working together with my team.

Ira Shafran, MD, 9amHealth member

A 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 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!

Ray McDaniel, 9amHealth member

My experience with 9amHealth has been awesome

As a truck driver, it's difficult to make doctor's appointments. 9amHealth simplified the whole process of getting my medication when my doctor wouldn't fill the prescription unless I came to the office. And all he does is ask the same questions and write the prescription, which I then have to wait for at the pharmacy to receive. 9am health ships it right to your door. I will continue to use them from now on. Thank you so much!

Elder Timothy Haggerty, 9amHealth member

Great 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.

Annette Hendricks, 9amHealth member

What a time saver

9amHealth was easy to deal with and sent out my meds very promptly. The 3 month-supply is a time saver compared to picking up a one-month supply at my local pharmacy and dealing with frequent refill requests through my doctor's office.

David Sweedler, 9amHealth member

9amHealth is a blessing

9amHealth has been a blessing to me because of my work hours and the difficulty of seeing a doctor.

Annette S., 9amHealth member

Support, 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.

Jason, 9amHealth member

Did not miss a day of work

I give 9amHealth 5 stars. I came across their web page looking for non-expensive health insurance, and I do not regret one bit applying for their services; they got me on schedule the same week to get my labs done, and they came to my job, for which I did not have to miss a day off work. I totally recommend them and will recommend them to friends and family. My life saver!

Gloria Lopez, 9amHealth member

Saves so much time!

I recommend using them if you don't like sitting at the doctor's office for hours waiting to get checked on and have a 5-minute face time with your doctor and get the prescription, then another hour of waiting to get the prescription filled.

Mike H., 9amHealth member

Great Experience

Using 9amHealth has been a fantastic experience! Their response times are fast, and they collaborate closely with you to identify the optimal dosage. Additionally, they ensure timely shipments. I would definitely recommend them!

Lawrence Ng, 9amHealth member

Great Diabetes Care

When I started the program, I was completely out of medication, and it was very difficult to manage my diabetes. I couldn’t get an appointment with anyone in the area. With 9amHealth’s help, I could lower my blood sugar through simple exercises. This really helped me during the holidays. I could get my A1c tested, and it was so easy. It was good to talk to a real person and not a chatbot. I recently started reading the articles on what to eat for breakfast, which were very helpful.

FAQs

We always have time for questions

How do labs work?

Based on your medical history, our Care Team will recommend a lab draw. At-home labs (if available) or self-test kit can be ordered. We can also review recent lab results from your physician. Lab results are securely sent back to 9amHealth, and our Care Team will review them with you.

How much does 9amHealth cost?

Here is the cost breakdown for our All-in-One Diabetes Care program with and without insurance:

The 9amHealth membership is $79 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.

Which medications does 9amHealth prescribe?

At 9amHealth, we specialize in providing comprehensive care and support for individuals with diabetes and prediabetes, focusing on those who need assistance with weight loss and managing high blood pressure and cholesterol. Based on your medical history, lab tests, and insurance coverage, Our Care Team will determine if medication is appropriate and which medication is most effective for you. Our toolkit includes branded and generic medications approved by the FDA. We can help navigate insurance approvals.
If you have any questions about our program, please contact our Care Team at support@join9am.com or call/text us at (202) 932-9958.

Am I eligible to take medications for weight loss?

GLP-1 prescriptions are only available to members who meet the clinical criteria for weight loss medications. Regardless of these criteria, your 9amHealth clinicians will work with you to find the most long-term sustainable care plan, which will always include lifestyle coaching and support and may include medications to assist with weight loss.

To qualify for prescriptions like Mounjaro, Ozempic, Trulicity, and other GLP-1 medications approved for diabetes, you need to have a confirmed Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis.
For GLP-1 medications approved for weight loss (Wegovy, Zepbound), you must meet specific diagnostic criteria such as a BMI greater than 30 or greater than 27 with co-conditions.

At 9amHealth, we follow FDA indications and health plan requirements—we will never prescribe a GLP-1 medication for non-approved use. For any questions regarding your medications, please contact our Care Team at support@join9am.com or call/text us at (202) 932-9958.

How will I receive my medications?

We will send your prescription to your preferred pharmacy or mail-order pharmacy linked to your insurance.

Can I use my insurance to cover 9amHealth?

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.

Why do I need to sign up for a monthly membership if I only need a prescription?

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. This could involve ongoing lab tests or other medical evaluations. Continuous care is crucial in managing conditions like diabetes effectively. By signing up for a monthly membership, you're investing in whole-body care beyond just a prescription.

What will my medications cost?

The cost of your medications will depend on your specific insurance coverage. Some insurance plans may cover some of the costs, leaving you to pay a certain copay. If you purchase your medications outside of insurance, you will be responsible for out-of-pocket costs. Your Care Team member will discuss the most affordable, effective, and clinically appropriate medications with you.
