Why Sequence Patients Are Switching to Trimi
The primary driver of the Sequence-to-Trimi switch is straightforward economics. Sequence patients are paying $199 to $399 per month for GLP-1 treatment that is available at Trimi for $99 per month. The medication is pharmacologically identical, the medical oversight is comparable, and the treatment outcomes are driven by the same active ingredient. The premium difference funds Sequence's genetic testing, platform, and brand experience — features that many patients conclude are not worth $100 to $300 per month once the initial novelty subsides.
Contract inflexibility adds urgency to the switching decision. Patients locked into multi-month Sequence commitments often begin planning their exit as soon as they realize the premium is not delivering proportionally better results. By understanding the switching process in advance, you can time your transition to minimize overlap costs, avoid treatment gaps, and begin saving immediately.
Step-by-Step Switching Guide
Step 1: Review your Sequence contract terms
Check your remaining commitment period, early cancellation fees, and billing cycle dates. Calculate whether the monthly savings from switching exceed any cancellation penalties. If your contract ends within one to two months, it may be simpler to wait.
Step 2: Request your medical records and genetic data
Contact Sequence to request a complete copy of your medical records, including genetic test results, dosing history, lab results, and provider notes. You are entitled to these under HIPAA. Allow up to 30 days for processing, though most requests are fulfilled faster.
Step 3: Begin Trimi onboarding (while still on Sequence)
Start the Trimi intake process one to two weeks before your remaining Sequence medication runs out. Complete the medical intake form and schedule your provider consultation. This overlap ensures you have continuity.
Step 4: Complete your Trimi provider consultation
Your Trimi provider will review your treatment history, confirm your current dose, and create your new treatment plan. Share your Sequence dosing records and any relevant genetic data. The consultation typically occurs within one to two business days.
Step 5: Receive Trimi medication and cancel Sequence
Once your Trimi medication arrives and you have confirmed the dose is correct, proceed with canceling your Sequence subscription. Document your cancellation for your records. Begin your Trimi medication at your next scheduled dose.

| Provider | Yes (new provider) | Board-certified Trimi clinician |
Navigating Sequence Contract Cancellation
Sequence's contract commitments add complexity to the switching process. If you are within your commitment period, review the specific terms of your agreement to understand early termination fees. In some cases, the monthly savings from switching immediately outweigh the one-time cancellation fee, making it financially advantageous to switch even before your contract ends.
For example, if your Sequence cancellation fee is $200 and you save $200 per month by switching to Trimi, the cancellation fee is recouped in a single month. If you have six or more months of treatment remaining, the total savings far exceed the one-time fee. Run the numbers for your specific situation before deciding whether to wait out your contract or switch immediately. For detailed cancellation instructions, see our Sequence cancellation guide.

Your Savings After Switching
The financial impact of switching from Sequence to Trimi is immediate and substantial. A patient switching from Sequence's semaglutide program at $299 per month to Trimi at $99 per month saves $200 every month — $2,400 over the next twelve months. For tirzepatide patients at Sequence's premium tiers, the savings can exceed $3,000 annually. These savings begin from the first month on Trimi and continue for the duration of your treatment.
If you are ready to switch, visit Trimi's pricing page to see current rates and begin the onboarding process. The sooner you start, the sooner you begin saving. With Trimi's month-to-month flexibility, there is zero risk — if for any reason Trimi does not meet your expectations, you can adjust your plan or pause at any time with no penalties.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch from Sequence to Trimi mid-contract?
You can initiate a switch at any time, but be aware that Sequence may impose early cancellation fees if you leave before your contract commitment period ends. Review your Sequence agreement to understand any financial obligations. If you are close to the end of your commitment, it may be worth waiting to avoid penalties. If the monthly savings from switching exceed the cancellation fee, switching immediately may still make financial sense.
Will my dose continue seamlessly when I switch?
Yes, Trimi will continue your current medication dose without requiring you to restart titration. Your Trimi provider will review your complete dosing history and current regimen during the intake consultation and create a treatment plan that picks up exactly where Sequence left off. There is no clinical need to reduce your dose or restart the escalation process when changing providers.
How much will I save by switching from Sequence to Trimi?
Most Sequence patients save $100 to $300 per month by switching to Trimi. Over a twelve-month period, this translates to $1,200 to $3,600 in total savings. Patients on Sequence's highest-tier plans with tirzepatide at elevated doses see the largest savings because the cost gap between Sequence and Trimi is widest at premium plan levels and higher dose tiers.
What do I lose by leaving Sequence?
You will lose access to Sequence's genetic testing data (request a copy before canceling), the Sequence platform and app, and any ongoing relationship with your Sequence provider. You will not lose any medical progress, medication effectiveness, or treatment continuity. The GLP-1 medication you receive from Trimi is pharmacologically identical to what Sequence provided.
How long does the switch take?
Trimi's onboarding process typically takes three to seven days from initial intake to medication delivery. If you start the process while you still have a week or more of Sequence medication remaining, you should experience no gap in treatment. The key is timing your Trimi onboarding to overlap with the end of your Sequence supply.
Should I request my medical records from Sequence?
Yes, request your complete medical records including genetic test results, dosing history, and provider notes before canceling. You have a legal right to these records under HIPAA. While Trimi does not require genetic data to manage your treatment, having your complete medical history is valuable for your personal records and may be useful for any future healthcare needs.
Can I switch to Trimi if Sequence prescribed a different medication than I want?
Yes. Trimi offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and your Trimi provider can discuss which medication is most appropriate for your clinical goals. If you want to continue the same medication Sequence prescribed, Trimi can accommodate that. If you want to explore switching medications (for example, from semaglutide to tirzepatide or vice versa), your Trimi provider can evaluate that option as well.
