Blue Sky MD vs RxSpan MD
The verdict
RxSpan MD takes it — 86.8/100 to 67.7/100.
RxSpan MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A physician-led telehealth under board-certified founder Dr. John Diaz with a broad GLP-1 menu — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by injection or oral capsule, plus a brand-name lane and microdosing — on transparent all-inclusive pricing to all 50 states.

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
Graded #4 · B
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Transparent, all-inclusive published pricing — consult, medication, supplies, shipping and support, cancel anytime, from ~$194/mo compounded semaglutide on an annual plan
- Both injectable and a real oral (capsule) route, plus compounded and an advertised brand-name lane
- Physician-led by a named, board-certified founder (Dr. John Diaz) with 24/7 messaging and coaching
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide are not FDA-approved (not the same as Wegovy/Ozempic/Zepbound)
- Published pricing is for the compounded line — brand-name pricing isn’t itemized
- A prescription isn’t guaranteed — a provider reviews eligibility after checkout
