Boston Medical Group vs LunaRx
The verdict
Boston Medical Group takes it — 61.9/100 to 61.2/100, but only just.
Boston Medical Group grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Boston Medical Group is an established medical group running a 12-week compounded GLP-1 weight-loss programme. LunaRx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #279 · C
Strengths
- An established medical group with a defined 12-week programme rather than an open-ended subscription
- The price range and the 12-week total are both published, once you reach the costs page
- Semaglutide is prescribed and dispensed under a compounded pathway with clinician oversight
Where it loses points
- The published rate is a range by dose strength, $199 to $299, so the figure quoted is the floor rather than what a titrated patient pays
- The 12-week programme totals $699 including a telemedicine platform fee that is never itemised — about $233/mo all-in, not $199
- The weight-loss landing page carries no price at all; the numbers are two pages deeper, in the FAQ and the costs page
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide are not priced separately — one range covers the whole programme
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved finished products
Graded #299 · C
Strengths
- Pairs GLP-1 with muscle-protective peptides (e.g., CJC-1295/Ipamorelin, NAD+) to defend lean mass during fat loss
- Structured, physician-directed off-ramp taper with GI-reset support instead of an indefinite prescription
- Bilingual care in English and Spanish across intake, messaging, and consults
- Care directed through a named independent medical group (CareNexus Clinic PC); $0 charged if you are not approved
- Published clinical support hours (Mon–Fri, CT) with phone, email, and secure messaging; cancel anytime
Where it loses points
- Only a "from $199/mo" starting price is published; tirzepatide and per-tier pricing are confirmed only after a provider review
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not named on the site — a transparency gap
- No LegitScript or PCAB verification is displayed
- States served are not published; the site claims "telehealth nationwide" but the Terms limit service to states where LunaRx is licensed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (the site discloses this)
