What a GLP-1 Consultation Costs in Canada

One structural note keeps that table honest: the three rows are not selling the same product, and they do not even bill on the same axis. Felix sells the medication as well as the assessment, and publishes a price per pen for each product it dispenses — so a Felix cost is a visit fee plus a pen price that moves with your dose, and Felix states its overall range as $149 to $678 depending on the prescription. Hims Canada sells visits and deliberately publishes no medication price at all, directing patients to the estimate shown inside the online visit, with a $12.99 pharmacy fill fee charged on each refill. Maple sells clinician access by the month and leaves the medication to the pharmacy that fills the prescription. A $0 first visit with $40 visits behind it, a $39 floor, and an $85 monthly membership are three different purchases that happen to sit in the same column (all verified 2026-08-14) — the first two models are unpacked side by side in Felix vs Maple.

• Covered: the clinical review. A licensed Canadian prescriber — physician or nurse practitioner licensed in your province — assesses your intake: health history, current medications, height and weight, screened against the provider's published intake criteria.
• Covered: the assessment, not the outcome — but a decline is handled differently at each provider. Hims Canada states its visit fee is charged only if you are deemed eligible for care, and that a denied visit has its card pre-authorisation released, which can take up to three business days to show on a statement — so a decline there costs nothing. Felix states that visit fees in this category are refunded only where a patient is deemed clinically ineligible, a narrower rule with nothing to bite on at the front door, since the initial visit is $0 — it applies to the $40 charged on each follow-up and renewal. Maple states that membership payments are non-refundable (all verified 2026-08-14).
• Never covered: the medication. Medication is billed separately everywhere. At Felix it is billed per pen, from $149 for a single low-dose semaglutide or Ozempic pen up to $501.88 for a pen at the higher Mounjaro doses, quoted for patients in Ontario after its Patient Support Program discount. At Hims Canada no price is published at all — the estimate appears inside the visit, plus the $12.99 fill fee on each refill. At Maple the dispensing pharmacy bills you directly (all verified 2026-08-14). Pharmacy-by-pharmacy medication prices are their own subject, tracked at our sister site glp1prices.ca.
• Never covered: a promise. No consultation fee at any provider purchases a prescription. The provider's clinician makes the final decision in every case.

Any comparison that leaves this out is salesmanship: a consultation with your own family physician or nurse practitioner is covered by your provincial health plan — the assessment itself costs you nothing out of pocket. If you have a family doctor and can get an appointment on a timeline that works for you, that route carries no consultation fee at all and belongs in your comparison. Felix matches it at the front door — the initial visit there is also $0 — but only there: every Felix visit after the first is $40, and at Hims Canada follow-ups run from $39 up to $99 depending on the treatment (verified 2026-08-14). The family-doctor route is the only one on this page with no fee attached to the second visit, or the tenth.

The trade-offs run in both directions. The public route’s constraint is access: it depends on having an attached family physician or nurse practitioner and on getting an appointment when you need one, and neither is a given. We do not publish figures on attachment rates or wait times — those are health-system statistics rather than provider-published facts, and this site verifies the latter. The paid route’s constraint is the fee — not always at the front door, since Felix asks nothing for the first visit, but across the relationship, in follow-ups and renewals and monthly memberships — plus the fact that a telehealth clinician is meeting your file for the first time. What the online platforms are selling is scheduling certainty and a structured process, not a different class of medicine — the prescribing decision is a licensed clinician’s in both rooms. Readers without a family doctor can weigh the online providers directly on the providers hub; readers with one lose nothing by asking there first.
