The verdict

eMed takes it — 57.4/100 to 54.8/100.

eMed grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. eMed is a digital health platform best known for at-home diagnostics that now runs a clinician-supported GLP-1 weight management program.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

eMed

Graded #398 · C

Strengths

  • Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (semaglutide and tirzepatide)
  • At-home blood collection makes lab work convenient
  • Clinician review and ongoing side-effect plus adherence support
  • Works with CVS Caremark so eligible employees can buy through benefits
  • Established digital health company with national scale

Where it loses points
