Chronos Body Health & Wellness vs Cost Plus Drugs
The verdict
Cost Plus Drugs takes it — 58.5/100 to 58.4/100, but only just.
Cost Plus Drugs grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Mark Cuban's transparent-pricing online pharmacy. Chronos Body Health & Wellness is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #374 · C
Strengths
- Physician-led clinic with a named team — physicians, NPs and registered nurses
- Offers brand-name (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro) and compounded options
- No upfront payment — you start with a registered nurse consult
- Microdosing GLP-1 approach available for longer-term use
Where it loses points
- Telehealth only in Louisiana and Texas — not nationwide
- No upfront pricing published; cost depends on the plan after consult
- Compounded options prescribed only when medically appropriate
- Broader aesthetic/clinic focus, not a GLP-1-only specialist
Graded #371 · C
Strengths
- Transparent pricing: wholesale cost + 15% markup + $5 pharmacy fee, the same for everyone
- Around $279/mo for branded Ozempic — well below typical retail list prices
- Mark Cuban's PBM-disrupting pharmacy, praised by Forbes Health, Wired, and KFF Health News
- Ships to all 50 states; genuine FDA-approved Novo Nordisk Ozempic, not compounded
- Partnered with 9amHealth so you can get prescribed and fill at Cost Plus pricing
Where it loses points
- Fulfillment only — no telehealth intake; you need a prescription from an outside clinician
- Ozempic is FDA-indicated for type 2 diabetes, not weight management — weight-loss use is off-label
- Wegovy availability has been spotty — check current stock before assuming it ships
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide — brand only
- No clinical follow-up — side-effect monitoring falls to your prescribing clinician
