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
StackMD

Graded #255 · C

Strengths

  • Publishes an exact price for every dose strength rather than a single 'from' figure — semaglutide $125-$225, tirzepatide $199-$449
  • Names both its legal entity (Medical 360 HC PLLC) and its prescribing telehealth partner, SamaritanMD
  • No membership or platform fee — the medication price is the whole price
  • States plainly that its compounded medications are 'not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality'
  • Telehealth offered in all 50 states per its terms, with free discreet shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility

Where it loses points

  • All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
  • Compounding pharmacies are never named, only 'a licensed third-party pharmacy'
  • Price rises steeply with dose: tirzepatide runs $199 at 5mg to $449 at 30mg
  • Billing and refunds are handled by SamaritanMD — StackMD 'has no authority to issue refunds' on its behalf
  • Terms impose binding arbitration in New York and waive jury trial and class-action participation
