I saw an ad for Shapley on Facebook…
I saw an ad for Shapley on Facebook that said that this was covered by Medicare so I expressed interest in talking to someone about it. When I got my phone call, I was told that Medicare doesn’t cover the medication and that the doctor video visit would be billed to MediCal, for which I have a share of cost and that I would have to pay 20% of the doctor visit. I feel that the advertisement was false and very misleading. I would advise you to be very cautious about choosing this company.

Hi Melinda! I'm sorry for any confusion or misinformation you might have. Shapely definitely is covered by Medicare. However, as with all insurance patients may be responsible for copays or coinsurances, and we are sure to check and inform patients of this. In the case you stated with Medicare and Medi-Cal, there is no cost-sharing for covered visits. Additionally, beginning in 2025, Medi-Cal covers FDA-approved weight-loss medications in full. Effectively treatment would be free of cost for that scenario. Please feel free to reach out to us if we can be of any further assistance! 424-600-8360
