Walmart's Better Care Services platform connects customers to five third-party partners for GLP-1 prescribing, nutrition therapy, fitness and clinical support, alongside its own pharmacy network.
Overview
Walmart launched this as an expansion of its Better Care Services platform, which connects customers to virtual third-party providers. Rather than running its own clinical service, Walmart aggregates five partners, each handling a different piece of GLP-1 care.
Wheel provides the prescribing side, offering board-certified obesity management providers via telehealth with initial visits published at $99 and follow-ups at $35, excluding medication costs. Curai Health provides AI-guided care with virtual dietitian services, published at $29 per month from 1 August, having been free during a promotional window from 15 April to 31 July.
The rest fills in support. Berry Street delivers AI-assisted nutrition therapy through registered dietitians, often covered by insurance. Aaptiv provides fitness programming with GLP-1 companion content and over 10,000 expert-led classes. MyCare by Twin Health offers personalized health insights and clinical support. Fulfilment runs through nearly 4,600 Walmart pharmacies, which stock GLP-1 medications including oral options such as Foundayo, with same-day delivery in many locations and free delivery for Walmart+ members.

Choose your partners
Access Walmart's Better Care Services platform and select which of the five partners you need.

Layer in Curai Health at $29 a month, Berry Street nutrition therapy, Aaptiv fitness or MyCare by Twin Health as needed.

Provider Involvement and Lab Requirements
Provider Involvement
Prescribing is handled by Wheel, which Walmart describes as offering board-certified obesity management providers via telehealth. Board certification in obesity medicine is a genuine specialty credential and more specific than the licensed provider language most telehealth companies use.
Lab Requirements
Lab requirements are not centrally published by Walmart and would be set by the prescribing partner. Ask Wheel directly what bloodwork is required before or during treatment.
Pharmacy Fulfillment and Shipping
Pharmacy Fulfillment
Nearly 4,600 Walmart pharmacies nationwide, dispensing FDA-approved GLP-1 medications including oral options such as Foundayo. This is a conventional retail pharmacy network rather than a compounding operation.
Shipping Frequency
Same-day delivery is available in many locations, with free delivery for Walmart+ members. You can also collect in store at any of the nearly 4,600 pharmacies.
Support Services
- Curai Health AI-guided care with virtual dietitian services at $29 per month
- Berry Street AI-assisted nutrition therapy with registered dietitians, often insurance-covered
- Aaptiv fitness with GLP-1 companion programming and 10,000+ classes
- MyCare by Twin Health for personalized insights and clinical support
- Wheel telehealth follow-ups published at $35
Pricing
Each partner sets its own pricing, so your total depends on which services you use. Medication is billed separately by the pharmacy in every case.
| Plan or Medication | Published Price | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel initial visit | $99 | Board-certified obesity management provider, excluding medication |
| Wheel follow-up visit | $35 | Ongoing telehealth visits, excluding medication |
| Curai Health | $29 per month | AI-guided care with virtual dietitian services, from 1 August |
| Curai Health promotional period | Free, 15 April to 31 July | Promotional window that has now closed |
| Berry Street | Often insurance-covered | AI-assisted nutrition therapy with registered dietitians |
| Medication | Billed separately | Dispensed by Walmart pharmacy; cost depends on drug and coverage |
Pricing reflects what Walmart Weight Management published at the time of review and can change without notice. Confirm current pricing directly with the provider before enrolling.
Membership Fees
There is no single Walmart membership fee for this platform. Each partner charges separately, with Curai Health at $29 a month and Wheel charging per visit. Walmart+ membership is a separate retail subscription that affects delivery benefits.
Medication Fees
Medication is billed separately by the Walmart pharmacy in every case, and none of the partner fees include it. What you pay depends on the drug prescribed and your coverage.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation
Cancellation terms are set by each individual partner rather than centrally by Walmart. Ask the specific service you enrol with, particularly Curai Health, which is a recurring monthly subscription.
Refunds
Refund policies vary by partner and are not centrally published. Request the written terms from whichever partner you use.
Insurance, HSA and FSA
Insurance
Insurance handling varies by partner. Walmart states that Berry Street's nutrition therapy is often covered by insurance. Wheel's visit pricing is published as flat self-pay rates. Medication coverage depends on your plan at the Walmart pharmacy.
HSA / FSA
HSA and FSA acceptance is not centrally published across the platform. Prescription medication and telehealth visits are generally eligible expenses; confirm with each partner and your plan administrator.
