Graded #358 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s including Wegovy and Zepbound
- Covered through insurance and employer benefits for 50M-plus people
- Board-certified physicians averaging about 15 years of experience
- Part of Evernorth/Cigna, a large established healthcare organization
- Offers full primary care, not just a single weight-loss funnel
Where it loses points
- GLP-1s only at clinician discretion in a Primary Care routine visit
- Anti-obesity meds not available in FL, LA, MS or NJ
- Distributed mainly via insurers and employers; cost varies by plan
- No transparent published monthly cash price for GLP-1 care
Graded #233 · C
Strengths
- Offers both compounded semaglutide (from $109/mo) and tirzepatide (from $159/mo) at member pricing, with supplies and a B-6 add-in included
- Genuine LegitScript-certified website (seal #4395819) and a clearly disclosed legal entity, Vita Bella Health, LLC (Nevada)
- Broad access: care published for 46 states plus Washington, D.C., and HSA cards are accepted
- Fully remote telehealth with video provider consults and quarterly provider check-ins included in the membership
- Medications dispensed by US FDA-inspected compounding pharmacies; ondansetron for nausea provided at no extra charge
Where it loses points
- Advertised $109-$159 medication prices require a separate $129/mo membership plus a one-time $99 consult, pushing true cost to ~$238-288/mo
- Three-month minimum commitment before it renews month-to-month; no refunds on medications and all sales are final
- Compounding pharmacy partners are not named anywhere on the site — a transparency gap
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved; only the dispensing pharmacies are described as FDA-inspected
- Disputes are subject to binding arbitration with a class-action waiver, governed by Nevada law (Las Vegas jurisdiction)
