Aurelius Health Group vs TeleFirst Med

Strengths

• +Pricing fully published and bundled: $89 first month, then $199/mo all-in — more transparent than most compounded brands
• +LegitScript Certified
• +Care-inclusive model: consults, monthly monitoring, and secure messaging rather than Rx-only
• +Unusually candid about the limited evidence base for microdosing

Where it loses points

• –Microdose-only model — sub-therapeutic doses have thinner trial evidence and likely smaller weight loss than full-dose tirzepatide
• –No semaglutide or standard full-dose option
• –No named compounding pharmacy partner
• –No state list and no named medical director or pharmacist-in-charge

Strengths

• +Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
• +Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
• +You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
• +Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care

Where it loses points

• –Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
• –The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
• –Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
• –No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
