Basal Health vs Healthicare
The verdict
Healthicare takes it — 65.5/100 to 47.7/100.
Healthicare grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Healthicare is a GLP-1 telehealth platform offering both compounded options and a full brand-name menu — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound — on a single account.
We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

Graded #216 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and full brand-name menu (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) on one platform
- Pharmacy partner named publicly: Jungle Jim's Pharmacy (F&F Pharmacies Inc.), Fairfield, OH
- Clinical lead named publicly: Dr. Jonah Mink, Beluga Health
- Compounded semaglutide from $147.90/mo on the 3-month plan ($174/mo billed monthly) — lower end of the segment
Where it loses points
- Not available in several states including CA, NV, NJ, NC, TX, MA — verify your state first
- Brand-name first-month pricing of $1,199.99–$1,299.99 is at or above cash retail; value is on the compounded tier
- Footer references 'Sunshine Health Studios Inc.' — relationship to the domain owner is unclear
