Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) vs Independent Wellness
The verdict
Independent Wellness takes it — 68.2/100 to 66.9/100, but only just.
Independent Wellness grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Telehealth wellness clinic offering GLP-1 medications on a 4-week billing cycle. Center for Medical Weight Loss (CMWL) is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
