Direct Meds vs EverFit Medical
The verdict
Direct Meds takes it — 82.6/100 to 58/100.
Direct Meds grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. One of the few programs offering an oral/sublingual route alongside injectable — semaglutide from ~$179 sublingual (~$297 injectable), tirzepatide ~$224/$399, with an intro promo near $147, all-inclusive and no membership.

Graded #19 · B−
Strengths
- Rare oral/sublingual option in addition to injectable
- All-inclusive pricing with no separate membership fee
- Both molecules — semaglutide and tirzepatide
- Intro promotional pricing near $147
Where it loses points
- Compounded only — not FDA-approved
- Pricing is company-stated, not independently live-verified
- Newer and somewhat ambiguous (operates across multiple domains)
- States served are not disclosed
Graded #382 · C
Strengths
- Named owner publicly disclosed (Carrie Zatelli) — uncommon in this segment
- Physical clinic address published (Macedonia, Ohio)
- Direct phone and email published for human contact
- Hybrid model: Ohio in-person clinic for body scans and red-light therapy plus 50-state telehealth
- Plan includes evaluation, treatment plan, medication when appropriate, and optional nutrition coaching
Where it loses points
- Conflicting scope: hero claims all 50 states, but footer says services are Ohio-only — the 50-state track runs through partner group Dr Telx
- Pricing not published — gated behind a phone assessment
- Owner's clinical credentials (PA, RN, MD?) not stated
- Telehealth patients are treated by partner group Dr Telx, not EverFit itself — relationship isn't fully transparent
- No LegitScript or NABP .pharmacy seal displayed
