Livea vs RxPros
The verdict
Livea takes it — 69.7/100 to 69.3/100, but only just.
Livea grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Livea is a physician-supervised medical weight loss clinic founded in 2011 with 8 clinics in MN and WI, plus telehealth in MN, WI, Iowa, and Florida. RxPros is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #115 · C
Strengths
- LegitScript certified; physician-owned Livea Medical PLLC; Medical Director Dr. Paul Olson, internal medicine/nephrology, 40 years experience
- Compounded sema from $99/mo and tirz from $199/mo — significantly cheaper than brand Ozempic/Wegovy ($1,000+/mo self-pay)
- Comprehensive program: InBody scans, registered dietitian nutrition counseling, health coaching, and regular provider check-ins included
- 15+ years established (founded 2011); 50,000+ clients served; voted Minnesota's Best Weight Loss Program 5 consecutive years
- Medications shipped to door; same-day consultations; in-person or telehealth; typically HSA/FSA eligible
Where it loses points
- Telehealth limited to 4 states only (MN, WI, IA, FL) — unavailable to most of the US; primarily a regional clinic network
- Pricing ambiguous: $69/mo program fee plus separate medication cost ($99/mo sema) may bring GLP-1 total to ~$168/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide availability uncertain — FDA announced shortage end in 2026; access subject to eligibility
- Labs (bloodwork) not explicitly included in any published program tier; confirmed at consultation only
- Strong MN/WI clinic focus; telehealth reach into IA and FL is newer and less established than core markets
Graded #128 · C
Strengths
- $99.99/month compounded semaglutide — among the cheapest in the US compounded telehealth market

- Named legal entity (RxPros LLC) with a physical Wyoming address

Where it loses points

- LegitScript certification number not displayed (seal only)
- Lowest headline prices ($99.99 sema / $144.97 tirz) require annual prepay; intro-first-month/quarterly tier is $134.99 sema / $224.99 tirz
