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.

Lumen Meds

Graded #238 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript Certified
  • Free expedited cold shipping — important for GLP-1 cold-chain integrity
  • Lifestyle coaching included, not just medication dispensing
  • Orders labs when needed
  • Named legal entity (Lumen Meds LLC, Delaware) with a physical address

Where it loses points

  • $0 first-month promo — verify recurring billing and cancellation terms before committing
  • Standard ongoing semaglutide price not shown (only the first-month promo)
  • Per-state availability not listed
  • Pharmacy partners not named
  • Health quiz required before you see final per-patient pricing
Obu Health

Graded #332 · C

Strengths

  • LegitScript-certified with publicly displayed ID (44206977)
  • Two named 503A compounding-pharmacy partners (Manifest Pharmacy SC + RX Compounding Store FL) — transparency above category baseline
  • Lower advertised semaglutide starting price ($190) than most multi-product peer platforms
  • Multi-product offering (GLP-1s + NAD+ + sermorelin + generic ED + birth control) for single-platform users
  • 24-hour US board-certified physician response window

Where it loses points

  • Per-dose pricing tiers not transparently published on product pages — only 'starting from' prices visible
  • No explicit state-coverage list disclosed; FAQ confirms restrictions exist 'based on state' without enumeration
  • Medical director not named publicly
  • No published consultation fee disclosure — unclear whether physician visit is included in medication price
  • All sales final per FAQ ('Federal and State law do not allow medication returns')

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
