Elevated Health vs StackMD
The verdict
StackMD takes it — 63.4/100 to 61.8/100, but only just.
StackMD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. StackMD is a New York telehealth platform (Medical 360 HC PLLC) selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, both formulated with B12 and glycine, alongside NAD+, sermorelin and other longevity peptides. Elevated Health is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #285 · C
Strengths
- $100 off first month
- Oral semaglutide option
- Competitive pricing — compounded semaglutide from $187/mo (12-month plan), tirzepatide from $235/mo
Where it loses points
- No LegitScript or PCAB accreditation
- No legal entity or address disclosed
- State availability not disclosed
- Shopify storefront — few clinical infrastructure signals
Graded #259 · C
Strengths
- Publishes an exact price for every dose strength rather than a single 'from' figure — semaglutide $125-$225, tirzepatide $199-$449
- Names both its legal entity (Medical 360 HC PLLC) and its prescribing telehealth partner, SamaritanMD
- No membership or platform fee — the medication price is the whole price
- States plainly that its compounded medications are 'not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality'
- Telehealth offered in all 50 states per its terms, with free discreet shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility
Where it loses points
- All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
- Compounding pharmacies are never named, only 'a licensed third-party pharmacy'
- Price rises steeply with dose: tirzepatide runs $199 at 5mg to $449 at 30mg
- Billing and refunds are handled by SamaritanMD — StackMD 'has no authority to issue refunds' on its behalf
- Terms impose binding arbitration in New York and waive jury trial and class-action participation
