Aspire Health vs PlushCare
The verdict
PlushCare takes it — 74.5/100 to 59.2/100.
PlushCare grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Established virtual primary-care telehealth platform (subsidiary of Transcarent, Inc., a Delaware corporation, alongside Accolade, 2nd.MD, and 98point6 by Transcarent).

Graded #346 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and brand-name options (Wegovy + Zepbound) — rare among GLP-1 telehealth providers
- Lab orders with interpretation included in LoseIt membership — not billed separately
- Named clinical team: founded by Jenni Haan, MPAS, PA-C (18+ years experience) with four additional credentialed providers
- Slimpossible app + secure messaging for ongoing support between provider visits
- HSA/FSA accepted; Cherry third-party financing available for patients needing payment plans
Where it loses points
- Membership fee ($75/month) stacks on top of separately billed medication — total spend $205–$524/month depending on dose
- No LegitScript certification or independent third-party accreditation disclosed
- States served not publicly listed; availability depends on individual provider licensure
- All medication sales are final once shipped; consultation fee non-refundable once completed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named on any public page
Graded #63 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Appointments with US board-certified physicians, not nurse practitioners only
- Virtual primary care — the same doctor can manage GLP-1s alongside other health needs
- Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed health platform with a named corporate parent
Where it loses points
- Facing a California class action alleging deceptive subscription enrollment and unauthorized charges after cancellation
- GLP-1 prescribing is up to the clinician at the visit — not guaranteed at signup
- BBB complaints center on the membership cancellation process
