Idgie Health vs ZYP Medical
The verdict
Idgie Health takes it — 75.4/100 to 74.6/100, but only just.
Idgie Health grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Publishes the amount billed today at every rung and names its 503A class — then describes a recurring Membership Fee only in the Terms. ZYP Medical is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
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 #58 · C
Strengths
- Every rung carries the figure billed today — $387 at three months, $687 at six on semaglutide — not just a per-month number
- States the pharmacy class plainly: prescriptions ship from a licensed U.S. 503A pharmacy
- Names its operating entity, Feel Better Health Group, LLC, in the page footer rather than only in the Terms
- The plan covers the provider evaluation, all injection supplies, dose titration, unlimited provider messaging and free shipping
- An oral semaglutide and two microdose lines sit beside the injection
Where it loses points
- Both headlines are the six-month prepay: "From $114" against $149, and "From $171" against $229
- The Terms describe a recurring Membership Fee and exclude the online visit and labs from it, while the pricing page never uses the word and promises no hidden fees
- The same Terms name an Idgie Health Pharmacy Network and a Bask Pharmacy Network without dividing the work between them
- The semaglutide card says "all doses"; the tirzepatide card does not
Graded #67 · C
Strengths
- Transparent flat-rate pricing including medication and shipping with no hidden fees
- Low $50 initial one-hour consultation
- Offers both injectable and oral tirzepatide options
- No membership fees and pricing decreases as treatment progresses
- Care from a board-certified family nurse practitioner
Where it loses points
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- Available in only six states (NE, IA, SD, KS, CO, AZ)
- Cash-pay only; no insurance noted
- No named compounding pharmacy partner disclosed
- No LegitScript certification shown on site
