Graded #430 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s, no compounded drugs
- LegitScript approved and HIPAA compliant
- Board-certified physicians trained in obesity medicine
- Transparent dose-based pricing published on site
- Available in all 50 states
Where it loses points
- Cash-pay model; medication cost billed separately by the pharmacy
- Does not dispense medication itself, so fulfillment depends on third-party pharmacies
- No compounded lower-cost alternative offered
- Specific list of supported states is not published
Graded #259 · C
Strengths
- Publishes an exact price for every dose strength rather than a single 'from' figure — semaglutide $125-$225, tirzepatide $199-$449
- Names both its legal entity (Medical 360 HC PLLC) and its prescribing telehealth partner, SamaritanMD
- No membership or platform fee — the medication price is the whole price
- States plainly that its compounded medications are 'not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality'
- Telehealth offered in all 50 states per its terms, with free discreet shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility
Where it loses points
- All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
- Compounding pharmacies are never named, only 'a licensed third-party pharmacy'
- Price rises steeply with dose: tirzepatide runs $199 at 5mg to $449 at 30mg
- Billing and refunds are handled by SamaritanMD — StackMD 'has no authority to issue refunds' on its behalf
- Terms impose binding arbitration in New York and waive jury trial and class-action participation
