Graded #267 · C
Strengths
- Branded, FDA-approved GLP-1s — Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Saxenda — rather than compounded copies
- The membership band is published before intake and is banded openly by level of coach support
- Medical visits, daily monitoring and 1-on-1 coaching are included in the membership at every tier
- Led by CMO Dr. Henry Legere (UC Berkeley, Columbia medicine, Harvard fellowship)
- Members with commercial insurance may pay around $25 a month for the medication after any deductible
Where it loses points
- The membership is overhead, not a medication price: it covers visits, monitoring and coaching, and the FAQ says medication pricing is confirmed only after a provider consultation
- No self-pay drug price is published anywhere, so the cost of a month cannot be worked out before signing up
- The best case depends on commercial insurance coverage; without it the medication cost is unknown
- No compounded option is disclosed — the programme is brand-focused, and brand list prices are the dearest route to a GLP-1
- The states it can prescribe in are not published
Graded #127 · C
Strengths
- Flat pricing that does not rise with dose: semaglutide ~$200, tirzepatide ~$275 per 5-week supply
- LegitScript certified; prescriptions filled by state-licensed 503A pharmacies
- Available in all 50 states
- HSA and FSA payments accepted
- Required video telehealth consult ensures clinician oversight
Where it loses points
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved for safety, efficacy or quality
- Extra fees stack up: ~$30 shipping, $49.95 initial consult, $25 follow-ups
- True monthly cost (~$255) is higher than the headline medication price
- Specific list of supported states not enumerated on site
