Graded #226 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound) not compounded
- Insurance-based with prior-auth coverage for over 65% of members
- Board-certified obesity-medicine physicians
- Comprehensive program: dietitian, coaching, metabolic and genetic testing
- Established since 2015 with clinical track record
Where it loses points
- Available in only six states via partner clinics
- Requires in-network insurance; not a flat cash-pay option
- Not a pure-telehealth nationwide service
- Out-of-pocket cost varies by insurance coverage
- No compounded budget alternative for the uninsured
Graded #400 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
