Temi vs. Weight Watchers Med+ (formerly Sequence)

WeightWatchers announced in 2023 that it would acquire Sequence, a telehealth platform for clinical weight management [2]. The service now runs as Weight Watchers Med+, with medical care provided through the affiliated Weight Watchers Clinic, and joinsequence.com now redirects to the Med+ medication page [1]. If you were searching for Sequence reviews or pricing, Med+ is the current product.

The membership is $25 for the first month on a 12- or 6-month plan, then $74 a month on the 12-month plan or $84 on the 6-month plan, auto-renewing at the same rate [1]. GLP-1 medication is extra. Self-pay prices start at $149 a month for a pill and $199 for a pen, so the lowest cash total is about $223 a month after the first.

Yes. Its page says many GLP-1s are covered by insurance, and an insurance coordinator will try to maximise coverage and manage pre-authorisations and refills; you may still owe a copay [1]. Cash-pay options are listed too. Temi is cash-pay only and never bills insurance, so if you have coverage for a brand-name drug, Med+ is worth checking first.

No. Med+ says it only prescribes FDA-approved medications, in injection and injection-free forms [1]. Temi offers compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide when a Temi physician finds them appropriate. Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved products; our compounded semaglutide vs. Wegovy page sets out what that difference means.

Not for GLP-1s. The Med+ FAQ says GLP-1 medications are not included in the membership fee and the Care Team works to get them covered by insurance. For some non-GLP-1 medications, the drug is included when you use its mail-order partner, Carepoint [1]. At Temi, the medication price and the $39 service fee are shown together before you pay.

The Med+ offer terms describe 12- and 6-month plans that continue for the remainder of the plan term and auto-renew for another term at the same monthly rate [1]. Check the cancellation terms with Weight Watchers before joining. A Temi order is a single purchase, and the optional Temi Care membership is not needed to be treated.

Yes, as described. After an online quiz you have a private telehealth consultation with a board-certified clinician, who decides whether medication is safe and appropriate, followed by regular check-ins [1]. Temi uses a written health questionnaire reviewed by a licensed Temi physician, which suits people already on a stable regimen who do not need a live appointment.

If you pay cash and do not need insurance support, a compounded GLP-1 can cost less than a brand-name drug plus a monthly membership. At Temi, compounded semaglutide starts at $59.99 per vial and tirzepatide at $104.99, each plus $39, with no membership [4]. Our GLP-1 cost calculator compares options over the same period.
