Site position #13 · B
Strengths
- Lowest combined price ($100 sema / $133 tirz)
- LegitScript-verified
- Both molecules
Where it loses points
- Only 32 states — not nationwide
- Injection-only
- Labs/monitoring not published
Site position #98 · C
Strengths
- Prescribing clinicians are listed by name and credential rather than described as an anonymous "licensed provider network"
- A provider approves treatment before any charge is processed, and the site states plainly when it is not the right fit
- Monthly provider check-ins and a care team reachable seven days a week are included in the plan rather than sold as an upgrade
- The dose ladder is published for both molecules, so a dose escalation has a known price attached before it happens
Where it loses points
- The dispensing pharmacy is disclosed only in post-purchase paperwork, so no 503A or 503B status can be checked before you commit
- Lab work is not part of the program: it is recommended case by case, billed separately, and may be sent to your own provider
- Explicitly no health coaching or behavioral support — clinical oversight only
- Injectable compounded medication only, with no oral route and no FDA-approved brand pathway
- Cash-pay only, so nothing routes through insurance and no claim can be submitted for you
Featured provider
CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). CoreAge Rx advertises flat dose pricing for compounded injections, with no membership fee; its consultation-fee and refund deadlines deserve a close read before paying.
