Empower Pharmacy vs Ilant Health
The verdict
Ilant Health takes it — 56.8/100 to 55.8/100, but only just.
Ilant Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Ilant Health is a value-based obesity and cardiometabolic care company distributed through employers and health plans rather than direct cash-pay. Empower Pharmacy is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
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.
