Score comparison

The same recorded score — both grade 58.5/100 (C).

Cost Plus Drugs and Elevate Health have the same recorded score after rounding the weighted total. That does not establish equivalent care or purchase terms. Compare the actual prescription, total charge, follow-up and cancellation conditions before choosing.

Cost Plus Drugs

Site position #419 · 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

What to consider

  • 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
Elevate Health

Site position #420 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide ($299/mo, from $158/mo on 12-month) and tirzepatide ($399/mo, from $248/mo)
  • Also offers brand-name Zepbound (tirzepatide) plus NAD+, B12, and glutathione add-ons
  • All supplies included; Affirm/Klarna payment plans available
  • Full refund if you are not approved
  • 35,000+ patients served

What to consider

  • Month-to-month pricing is high ($299 sema / $399 tirz); the low rates require a 12-month commitment
  • Pharmacy partner and prescribing medical group not named
  • States of operation not published
  • LegitScript certification was not documented on the public pages reviewed
  • No standalone Terms of Service page (only Privacy, HIPAA, and a safety-information page)

Featured provider

CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). Advertises pricing across doses with no membership fee, but starting-price displays and FAQ payment/refund promises need to be reconciled with the selected plan and refund policy.

Commercial relationships affect this placement. The score comparison above is separate.

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
