FuturHealth

Graded #215 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript Certified and HITRUST Certified
  • Brand-name and oral GLP-1s on one platform: Wegovy injection and pill, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Foundayo
  • Early direct-to-consumer access to Foundayo (orforglipron), the new oral non-peptide GLP-1
  • Bundled registered-dietitian nutrition guidance — uncommon among pure-Rx telehealths

Where it loses points

  • Active lawsuit (Wilson v. FuturHealth) alleging unauthorized access to G-Plans subscriber data
  • BBB complaints describe recurring charges without medication received — confirm cancellation flow first
  • Pharmacy partners described only as 'licensed, U.S.-based' with no specific 503A/503B names
  • Pricing not shown until after the qualification questionnaire or portal login
  • Front-end brand built on SteadyMD and OpenLoop infrastructure, not a first-party prescriber
Virta Health

Graded #336 · C

Strengths

  • Offers a Responsible Prescribing track with optimized GLP-1 use
  • Clinically monitored medication off-ramp toward nutrition therapy
  • Nutrition-first model shown to rival GLP-1 weight loss (about 13% at 1 year)
  • Provided at no cost to members through employers and health plans
  • Strong evidence base for diabetes reversal and metabolic health

Where it loses points

  • Primarily a nutrition program; GLP-1s are a secondary track
  • Distributed via employers and health plans, no direct cash-pay
  • Deliberately discourages GLP-1 use for most members
  • GLP-1 access depends on the specific program the plan selects

Also worth a look

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.
