Concierge MD LA vs Velvet Rx
The verdict
Concierge MD LA takes it — 60.1/100 to 58.1/100, but only just.
Concierge MD LA grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Concierge MD LA offers semaglutide ($199/mo) and tirzepatide ($299/mo) alongside brand-name Ozempic, Mounjaro, Zepbound, and Wegovy ($1,999/mo each). Velvet Rx is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #328 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 options
- In-home medical services in major cities
- Competitive compounded pricing ($199/$299)
- Broader concierge medicine services available
Where it loses points
- No visible LegitScript or PCAB accreditation
- No physical address disclosed
- Limited to LA, NY, and 25+ cities — not nationwide
- Brand-name options at $1,999/mo — very high
- Semaglutide bills $199/mo but ships only every 90 days (tirzepatide every 60 days); 4-month minimum commitment required
Graded #381 · C
Strengths
- Public pricing across 3 SKUs (semaglutide $299, tirzepatide $359, oral GLP-1 $349) — uncommon in compounded telehealth
- First-month promo pricing shown upfront ($139 sema / $199 tirz / $189 oral)
- Single monthly price includes consult, prescription, 4 weeks of medication, and free 1–2 day shipping
- FSA/HSA eligible
- Three options under one roof: injectable sema, injectable tirz, and an oral GLP-1
Where it loses points
- Oral GLP-1 SKU doesn't name the specific drug — a real gap given Rybelsus, Foundayo, and compounded oral semaglutide differ clinically
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
- No legal entity name disclosed
- No physical address disclosed
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named
