Weight Loss Treatment FAQs

Who is eligible for GLP-1 weight loss treatment?

GLP-1 weight loss medication may be appropriate if you’re trying to lose weight, reduce appetite, improve blood sugar control, or support long-term metabolic health.

After you sign up, a Maximus doctor will review your medical history and determine whether Tirzepatide is safe and appropriate for you.

If you’re not approved for treatment, you’ll receive a full refund (minus the cost of the doctor consultation).

What states is Weight Loss Protocol available in?

Our Weight Loss Protocol (Tirzepatide) is available nationwide in all states but AL, MS, LA.

Can I use my HSA or FSA card to pay for Weight Loss Protocol?

Yes. Maximus accepts both HSA and FSA cards for weight loss treatment.

Simply enter your HSA/FSA card information at checkout as you would any debit or credit card.

Coverage varies by plan, so if you're unsure whether your HSA/FSA approves GLP-1 medications, check with your plan administrator.

If I’ve previously been prescribed GLP-1 medication, can I start at the same dosage with Maximus?

If you have documentation of prior GLP-1 use, your Maximus provider will help determine the most appropriate dose for your treatment plan.

Do you charge extra for higher doses?

We offer flat-rate monthly plans that include access to all dose tiers.

Your Maximus provider will help you determine the safest and most effective dose for your goals.

What side effects should I be aware of?

Common side effects of GLP-1 medications include:

- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Constipation

Side effects are typically mild and temporary. If you experience discomfort, your Maximus doctor may adjust your dosing schedule or recommend supportive strategies.

How long until I see results?

Results vary based on your dose, metabolism, and adherence to habits like diet and physical activity.

Are GLP-1 medications safe for long-term use?

Your Maximus provider will monitor your health markers and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Can this be used with other Maximus Protocols?

Yes. The Weight Loss Protocol works well alongside other Maximus protocols -including Testosterone, Hair Growth, Blood Flow, and Oxytocin Calming Cream — as part of a comprehensive health optimization plan.

Your provider will ensure there are no contraindications.

Is the Weight Loss Protocol available for both men and women?

Yes — Maximus weight loss treatments are available and effective for both men and women.

Is this compounded with base form or salt form?

Maximus uses only the base form of Tirzepatide.

Some pharmacies use salt forms (for example “Tirzepatide Sodium” or “Tirzepatide Acetate”), which are different chemicals, are not equivalent, and have not been tested for safety or effectiveness.

Using salt-form compounds may be unsafe or ineffective.

How much does Tirzepatide cost?

Tirzepatide is offered on four plan lengths, each at one flat monthly rate: 2-month plan $249.99/mo, 4-month plan $219.99/mo, 6-month plan $199.99/mo, and 12-month plan $149.99/mo. The rate you see is the rate you pay every month of your plan — there is no separate first-month price. Plans are billed up front for the full term. HSA/FSA cards are accepted, and there are no membership fees. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy, or quality.

How am I billed?

Each plan is billed up front for the full term (for example, a 2-month plan is charged as one payment covering both months). Your plan renews at the same flat rate at the end of the term unless you cancel before the renewal date. Split-payment options may be offered at checkout.

How often will I receive shipments?

Every plan ships every 2 months, so each shipment contains a 2-month supply. A 2-month plan is one shipment, a 4-month plan is two, a 6-month plan is three, and a 12-month plan is six. Shipping is free.

Weight loss, whether achieved by lifestyle intervention, pharmacotherapy, or bariatric surgery, is highly effective as a primary interventional strategy in both the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes. In high-risk patients with prediabetes and/or metabolic syndrome, weight loss effectively prevents progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and improves cardiovascular risk factors.
2
Intentional weight loss, accomplished through behavioral weight loss and exercise, improves insulin sensitivity and associated cardio-metabolic risk factors such as lipid measures, blood pressure, measures of inflammation and vascular function both in healthy individuals and patients with CHD. Additionally, physical fitness, physical function and quality of life all improve.

According to IARC data, high BMI index may be the cause of up to half a million cancer cases per year. In addition, overweight and obesity contribute to increased mortality due to malignancies - it is estimated that they are the cause of death in 20% of women and in 14% of men. Data from the American Cancer Society indicate increased mortality due to pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, multiple myeloma, and Hodgkin's lymphoma in connection with the occurrence of excessive body weight.

In the SELECT cardiovascular outcomes trial, semaglutide showed a 20% reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events in 17,604 adults with preexisting cardiovascular disease, overweight or obesity, without diabetes.
