Calibrate Health

Graded #132 · 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
TeleZen MD

Graded #329 · C

Strengths

  • Says it serves all 50 states — among the broadest claimed reach in the compounded segment
  • Markets U.S.-based, FDA-registered pharmacies
  • $100 off your first order with code WELCOME100
  • Fully online U.S. telehealth model with physician evaluation
  • Education-forward, physician-led positioning

Where it loses points

  • Partner pharmacy not named
  • Legal entity name and state of incorporation not disclosed
  • Brand-name medications not addressed on the homepage
  • LegitScript certification not confirmed
  • All-50-states claim is the provider's own, not independently verified
