HealthRX vs PlushCare
The verdict
HealthRX takes it — 86.1/100 to 74.5/100.
HealthRX grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A LegitScript-certified (#50087439) physician-supervised program that runs a rare oral GLP tablet alongside the usual injectables — compounded semaglutide from ~$189/mo, tirzepatide/GLP+GIP up to ~$349, with a brand Ozempic pass-through if you need it.

Graded #8 · B
Strengths
- LegitScript-certified (#50087439) — a genuine, verifiable trust signal
- Physician-supervised intake with licensed providers
- Both molecules plus a rare oral GLP tablet option
- Transparent flat monthly pricing, no insurance required
Where it loses points

- Brand Ozempic is a steep pass-through (~$1,299)
- State count is not publicly listed
Graded #63 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Appointments with US board-certified physicians, not nurse practitioners only
- Virtual primary care — the same doctor can manage GLP-1s alongside other health needs
- Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed health platform with a named corporate parent
Where it loses points
- Facing a California class action alleging deceptive subscription enrollment and unauthorized charges after cancellation
- GLP-1 prescribing is up to the clinician at the visit — not guaranteed at signup
