How we know this (and what we won't pretend to know)
GLP1Compass is health-and-money information, so accuracy matters more than completeness. Here's our discipline.
- Every figure is dated and sourced. Prices, programs and coverage rules are stamped "as of June 2026" and linked to a public source.
- We don't fabricate coverage. For state Medicaid, we mark a state "covers" or "cut" only with a cited basis, and "verify" otherwise — we tell you how to check rather than guess.
- Diabetes vs. weight loss. We're precise that GLP-1 coverage for diabetes is near-universal, while coverage for weight loss is the variable question.
- We're independent. We don't sell the drug. Some links may be affiliate links, but that never changes which lowest-cost legitimate path we show you.
- Not medical advice. We help you navigate cost and coverage; your clinician makes the medical decisions.
