Our rankings are based on a weighted scoring system that considers multiple factors. Patient ratings carry the most weight, followed by the number of verified reviews, provider credentials (including ABOM board certification in obesity medicine), and verification level. We also factor in pricing transparency, whether the clinic is accepting new patients, and telehealth availability. Clinics that provide clear pricing information, accept insurance, and offer flexible visit options score higher because these factors directly affect your ability to access and afford treatment. Every clinic listed has been verified through NPI Registry data.

Meridian's GLP-1 market is shaped by one defining reality: the city grew by 309% since 2000, and healthcare is still catching up. St. Luke's Health System is the dominant player, with a Meridian Medical Center on East Idaho Avenue and specialty clinics along Eagle Road. St. Luke's runs nutrition services, endocrinology, and a weight management program out of their 520 S. Eagle Road complex. Beyond St. Luke's, the independent clinic landscape is thin but growing. New medical offices are popping up in the Ten Mile Road corridor as residential development pushes west. Telehealth fills a real gap here because the number of board-certified obesity medicine specialists in Ada County does not match the population explosion.
Meridian sprawls west from Boise along I-84, and Eagle Road is the main north-south artery that connects everything. If you have lived here more than a few years, you remember when Eagle Road was two lanes. Now it is a six-lane corridor lined with medical offices, shopping centers, and chain restaurants from Overland Road up to Chinden Boulevard. The Village at Meridian, an outdoor lifestyle center at Eagle and Fairview, is the closest thing to a town center. Old-town Meridian around Main and Pine still exists but feels disconnected from the new development pushing toward Ten Mile and beyond. Traffic on Eagle Road during rush hour is genuinely bad for a city this size. A provider at the south end of Eagle Road can feel 25 minutes away from someone living near Chinden.
Food culture in Meridian is still finding its identity as the city outgrows its agricultural roots. Epi's Basque Restaurant on North Main Street is the standout, celebrating Idaho's Basque heritage with croquetas, lamb shank, and a family-run atmosphere since 1999. The Basque connection is real here. Idaho has the largest Basque population per capita in the United States, and Boise's Basque Block is a 20-minute drive east. Beyond Epi's, Meridian's dining scene skews toward chains and new arrivals at The Village. The local food reality for most families is a mix of Costco runs, Friday night at a chain restaurant on Eagle Road, and weekend grilling. A smart GLP-1 provider here builds plans around that actual lifestyle, not a Portland farm-to-table fantasy.
The economics are favorable. Meridian's median household income is around $98,700, reflecting the young families and Boise-area professionals who have driven the growth. Most carry employer insurance through Micron, HP, Albertsons (headquartered in Boise), or the healthcare systems. Brand-name GLP-1 medications are accessible for many with coverage, while compounded semaglutide in the $250 to $450 range serves self-pay patients. Idaho has no state-level restrictions on compounded medications that would limit access beyond federal rules.
Monthly GLP-1 programs in Meridian typically run $250 to $450 for compounded semaglutide and $500 to $1,100 for brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound. St. Luke's and independent clinics along Eagle Road offer structured programs. With Meridian's strong median income and employer insurance base, brand-name options are within reach for many patients.
Many commercial plans in Idaho cover GLP-1 medications with prior authorization for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher, or 27 with comorbidities. Large employers like Micron and HP tend to have favorable formulary coverage. Idaho Medicaid coverage for GLP-1 weight loss medications is limited, so self-pay patients typically turn to compounded options.
Most providers cluster along Eagle Road, particularly near the St. Luke's campus at 520 S. Eagle Road and the medical offices between Overland and Fairview. The Village at Meridian area has some wellness-focused practices. New development along Ten Mile Road is adding medical offices, but most established providers are still on Eagle Road.

10 GLP-1 clinics in Meridian are currently accepting new patients. Availability can change, so we recommend contacting the clinic directly to confirm openings and schedule your first consultation.
Yes. Idaho allows telehealth prescribing for GLP-1 medications after a virtual evaluation. Given Eagle Road traffic during rush hour and the spread of Meridian's newer neighborhoods toward Ten Mile and beyond, telehealth follow-ups are practical for patients who do not want to sit in traffic for a quick check-in.
Yes. Meridian added over 100,000 residents in two decades, and the number of board-certified obesity medicine and endocrinology specialists has not kept pace. Wait times for new patient appointments at St. Luke's can stretch to several weeks. Telehealth providers licensed in Idaho help fill the gap, and new clinics opening along the Ten Mile corridor are gradually expanding capacity.
Look for board certification in obesity medicine, endocrinology, or internal medicine. St. Luke's sets the clinical standard in Ada County. For independent or telehealth providers, verify they include metabolic bloodwork, structured follow-up visits, and nutritional guidance. In a fast-growing market with new clinics opening regularly, vetting credentials carefully is especially important.
