HeliMeds vs PlushCare
The verdict
PlushCare takes it — 74.5/100 to 68.3/100.
PlushCare grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. PlushCare suits shoppers who want a physician video visit and pharmacy choice, but membership, appointments, medication and labs are separate costs.

Site position #166 · C
Strengths
- Both compounded and brand-name GLP-1 options available
- Compounded semaglutide from $99 — competitive pricing
Where it loses points
- The LegitScript seal ID this provider publishes, #368688, does not resolve on LegitScript's own CDN — checked August 2026, alongside six seal IDs from other providers that returned normally in the same pass
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved (stated on site)
- Also a broader health platform (sexual health, energy)
Site position #68 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Video appointments with primary care physicians
- Prescriptions can be sent to a pharmacy you choose
- Visit insurance and medication prior-authorization assistance offered; coverage depends on the plan
Where it loses points
- Advertised membership is $19.99 monthly after the first free month or $149 annually prepaid; visits, drugs and labs are separate
- Terms say membership is optional for medical services, while general FAQ implies active membership; confirm the nonmember booking route
- Cancel at least one calendar day before membership renewal; a visit can be nonrefundable after clinical assessment even without a prescription
Featured provider
CoreAge Rx
CoreAge Rx scores 89.5/100 (B+). CoreAge Rx advertises flat dose pricing for compounded injections, with no membership fee; its consultation-fee and refund deadlines deserve a close read before paying.
