The verdict

BeyondMD takes it — 66.8/100 to 55.2/100.

BeyondMD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Telehealth clinic offering competitively priced compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide.

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.

NovoCare Pharmacy

Graded #442 · C

Strengths

  • First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
  • $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
  • $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
  • Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
  • Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk

Where it loses points

  • Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
  • Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
  • No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
  • Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
  • $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
