How Sesame Care works

Patients browse Sesame's clinician network, select a provider based on availability and specialty, and book an appointment directly. Consultations are conducted via video or text. Clinicians who determine GLP-1 therapy is appropriate issue a prescription, which patients can fill at their preferred pharmacy or through Sesame's network. The marketplace model means appointment times and clinician availability are more flexible than platforms with closed provider networks.

Who Sesame Care is for

Sesame Care is best suited to patients who want flexibility in clinician selection rather than being matched algorithmically. If you prefer to read a clinician's profile and specialty background before booking, or need appointment times that standard telehealth platforms do not offer, Sesame's open marketplace model provides that flexibility. It's also suitable for patients who want to discuss multiple health concerns in a single appointment, Sesame's broad clinician network includes specialists across many areas.

Sesame Care pricing

Sesame Care's pricing varies by clinician and appointment type. The marketplace model means patients see provider pricing before booking. GLP-1 prescriptions are written by independent clinicians through the platform.

Our verdict

Sesame Care's marketplace model is most valuable for patients who prioritize flexibility, in clinician selection, appointment timing, and care breadth. The trade-off versus direct-to-patient GLP-1 platforms is that the experience varies more by clinician, since you are working with independently practicing providers rather than a platform-standardized clinical team. For patients who want control over their care relationship and scheduling flexibility, Sesame Care offers something the more streamlined GLP-1 platforms do not.
