Ascend Medical vs Ozari Health
The verdict
Ozari Health takes it — 68.9/100 to 55.9/100.
Ozari Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Ozari Health is a telehealth weight-loss platform selling physician-prescribed compounded GLP-1 from licensed 503A/503B pharmacies.

Graded #425 · C
Strengths
- Whole-person virtual primary care that includes a medical weight loss program
- Staffed by licensed MDs, DOs, NPs and PAs
- Integrates weight loss with primary, mental health and diabetes care
- Clear state availability (Georgia and Texas)
Where it loses points
- Available only in Georgia and Texas
- Specific GLP-1 medications and branded-vs-compounded status not published
- No pricing disclosed on public pages
- Weight loss is one service among many, not a dedicated GLP-1 specialist
Graded #136 · C
Strengths
- Very low entry pricing — compounded semaglutide from $86/month
- LegitScript certified and operated by a named entity (Ozari LLC)
- Board-certified physicians; meds compounded in 503A and 503B facilities
- Shipping included in the plan price
Where it loses points
- The advertised rates are three-month starter plans for first-time GLP-1 users, billed $257 and $375 up front; month-to-month is $175 and $235
- Cancelling an annual or semi-annual plan early re-prices the installments already shipped at the standard monthly rate and charges the difference
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
