Calibrate Health

Graded #125 · C

Strengths

  • Year-long program with 1:1 video coaching, dietitian support, and behavior-change curriculum — a deeper clinical wrap than transactional telehealth
  • $199/month program fee is competitive; medication co-pay can drop to ~$25/month with insurance and a manufacturer savings card
  • Branded GLP-1s only (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Foundayo) — no compounded products
  • Insurance navigation team works to maximize coverage and reportedly accepts most major commercial plans
  • Money-back guarantee tied to a 10% weight-loss outcome over the program year

Where it loses points

  • Medication cost is on top of the $199/month fee; cash-pay patients face full manufacturer pricing
  • Insurance navigation only helps if your plan actually covers branded GLP-1s for weight loss — many don't
  • Meaningfully more expensive than compounded telehealth if your insurance denies coverage
  • Distinct from 'Oxford's Medical Weight Loss (The Calibrate Clinic)' — don't confuse the two
  • Initial 3-month commitment required ($597 total, billed as $199/mo) before it renews month-to-month — more lock-in than month-to-month rivals
Royal Medical Center

Graded #492 · C

Strengths

  • Physician founder Dr. Dagoberto Rodriguez, MD — Emory residency, former Coral Springs Medical Center chairman, U Miami faculty
  • Tirzepatide pricing fully itemized by dose tier ($450 / $650 / $800 / $1,100) — more transparent than 'starting at' floors
  • All-inclusive pricing bundles medication, supplies, injections, lab monitoring, and physician follow-ups
  • Broad catalog (HRT, TRT, peptides, ED, hair, vitamins) reflects an established multi-program clinic
  • Florida physician with 30+ years of practice — a strong physician-led care signal

Where it loses points

  • Operating legal entity not disclosed — only the 'Royal Medical Center' brand surfaced
  • Pharmacy partner not named — buyers can't verify licensure or 503A/503B status
  • No LegitScript badge displayed
  • States served not enumerated — site says 'nationwide' with no state list
  • Headline 'starting at $116/mo' conflicts with the actual $450/mo tirzepatide floor

Also worth a look
