HealthSource vs StackMD
The verdict
HealthSource takes it — 71.2/100 to 63.4/100.
HealthSource grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. HealthSource is a telehealth weight-management platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (injectable and oral sublingual) dispensed through a US-based FDA 503A licensed partner pharmacy.
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.

Graded #97 · C
Strengths
- Three GLP-1 options: compounded semaglutide injection, tirzepatide injection, and oral sublingual tirzepatide
- 24/7 access to care team via HIPAA-compliant platform with unlimited physician messaging
- Every program covers the cost of medication, supplies, and telehealth visits — no separate pharmacy fee
- Subscription auto-refund if monthly reassessment is not completed
- Available in all 50 US states including Alaska and Hawaii with 3–5 day shipping
Where it loses points
- No physician names or clinical leadership disclosed on public pages
- No LegitScript certification found
- 503A partner pharmacy not named — less transparent than providers disclosing their 503B pharmacy
- Labs not mentioned on any product page — baseline bloodwork protocol unknown
- WooCommerce e-commerce storefront may feel more transactional than clinical
Graded #259 · C
Strengths
- Publishes an exact price for every dose strength rather than a single 'from' figure — semaglutide $125-$225, tirzepatide $199-$449
- Names both its legal entity (Medical 360 HC PLLC) and its prescribing telehealth partner, SamaritanMD
- No membership or platform fee — the medication price is the whole price
- States plainly that its compounded medications are 'not FDA-approved and have not been evaluated by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality'
- Telehealth offered in all 50 states per its terms, with free discreet shipping and FSA/HSA eligibility
Where it loses points
- All sales are final — 'No refunds are issued except as described below', and dispensed medication cannot be returned
- Compounding pharmacies are never named, only 'a licensed third-party pharmacy'
- Price rises steeply with dose: tirzepatide runs $199 at 5mg to $449 at 30mg
- Billing and refunds are handled by SamaritanMD — StackMD 'has no authority to issue refunds' on its behalf
- Terms impose binding arbitration in New York and waive jury trial and class-action participation
