CVS MinuteClinic vs LVNG RX
The verdict
LVNG RX takes it — 62.5/100 to 61.7/100, but only just.
LVNG RX grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. LVNG RX is a Delaware-registered telehealth platform (LVNG RX LLC) offering compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $249/mo, plus a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program. CVS MinuteClinic is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #287 · C
Strengths
- Brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Saxenda) — no compounded products prescribed
- Walk-in clinic visits; no appointment necessary at MinuteClinic locations
- Insurance accepted; GLP-1 copay as low as $25 with coverage
- $49 virtual visit to start — no subscription or monthly fee
- Board-certified providers with follow-up care, nutritional counseling, injection training
Where it loses points
- Brand-name only — compounded GLP-1 not available at MinuteClinic
- GLP-1 prescribing not available in all states
- Medication cost billed separately at pharmacy; cash-pay GLP-1 from $149/month with coupon
- Requires in-person clinic visit or virtual consult — not home-delivery telehealth
Graded #268 · C
Strengths
- One bundled price covers the provider visit, prescription, shipping and ongoing check-ins, with zero consultation charges
- States you are charged nothing if a provider does not approve you for treatment
- Promises no dose-change surcharges — 'the price we quote is the price you pay, period'
- Semaglutide from $149/mo is competitive against the wider compounded market
- Offers a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose program alongside standard semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- Displays a Trustpilot 'Rated Excellent 4.8 / 5' badge, but no Trustpilot profile exists for the domain or the brand
- Also claims '4.9 based on 300+ Google reviews'; no Google listing for the business could be located
- Its own homepage figures conflict — '10k+' members in the hero versus '1,743+ patients supported' in the counters below
- The actual plan price is confirmed only after provider review, and the three treatment pages publish no prices at all
- No compounding pharmacy, medical group or individual clinician is named anywhere on the site
