The verdict

Kongo takes it — 83.8/100 to 67.7/100.

Kongo grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Cheap semaglutide ($119) but a steeper tirzepatide step-up ($229); verified, nationwide.

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.

Blue Sky MD

Graded #157 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript certified and physician-led since 2008; one of the most established GLP-1 practices in the Southeast
  • Compounded semaglutide from $40/week (~$160/month) and tirzepatide from $60/week (~$240/month) — well below brand-name cost
  • Comprehensive program includes 1-on-1 wellness coaching, nutrition plans, hormone analysis, and a proprietary mobile app
  • Medication shipped directly to patients’ homes within 3–5 business days; telehealth visits available
  • Insurance accepted in many cases; affordable self-pay options for uninsured patients

Where it loses points

  • Geographic reach unclear — physical clinics in NC only; telehealth states beyond NC unconfirmed despite 'from virtually anywhere' claim
  • Pricing quoted per-week ($40 sema / $60 tirz) rather than per-month; higher-dose pricing not disclosed
  • Must enroll in full medical weight-loss program to access GLP-1 medications — medication-only Rx not offered
  • No explicit lab testing protocol published; online FAQ does not confirm labs are included
  • Small regional provider vs. national platforms; limited provider footprint outside North Carolina
