Measured

Measured, previously operating under the names Better Health Labs and Measured Health, is a healthcare company located in New York, NY. The company, which is part of the Y-Combinator W21 batch, employs a team of five and operates across various regions including the United States of America, America/Canada, and offers remote services. Measured focuses on the consumer health and wellness sub-industry within healthcare, providing tailored weight loss solutions through its two main packages: the Nutrition Path and the Rx Path, priced at $49 and $79 per month respectively. The company’s approach includes the use of prescription medications such as GLP-1 medications (Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Rybelsus, compounded semaglutide, and compounded tirzepatide) and oral medications (Bupropion, Naltrexone, Metformin, and Topiramate). These are prescribed based on lab results from the last 12 months that must include Creatinine, eGRF, and HbA1c levels. Measured offers comprehensive support through unlimited messaging with clinicians and health coaches, along with a dedicated team of Care Coordinators and a Prior Authorization team that liaises with insurance companies for medication approval. Although the initial consultation and monthly membership fees are not covered by insurance, Measured facilitates medication cost savings through insurance. However, it does not accept patients with Medicaid, Medicare, or Tricare. The average member of Measured experiences a weight reduction of at least 5% within the first three months, reaching up to 10% by the sixth month. The signup process costs $39, which includes a metabolic assessment, initial assessment, and an online consultation.
