Graded #278 · C
Strengths
- Accepts major insurance (Blue Cross, Anthem, United, Aetna) — most patients pay $0–50 per visit
- Requires lab work before prescribing GLP-1s; addresses root-cause metabolic drivers
- Matches patients with endocrinologists and obesity medicine specialists within minutes
- Offers compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide with board-certified physician oversight
- Handles all prior-auth paperwork; provider location pages exist for all 50 US states
Where it loses points
- Medication pricing fully gated behind quiz — no public cash price for sema or tirz
- Lab panels are a separate out-of-pocket cost ($199–$399) unless covered by insurance
- No LegitScript certification or named compounding pharmacy found on any public page
- Company leadership and clinical team not disclosed publicly
- Self-pay cash pricing exists per site copy but is not published anywhere
Graded #90 · C
Strengths
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide as both injections and oral options, starting around $149/mo (sema) and $199/mo (tirz)
- Bundles dietitians, live workouts, support groups and mental-health coaching with the medication, not just a prescription
- Insurance concierge to maximize coverage, FSA/HSA eligible, with multi-month plans that cut the price further
- Large, established program (115,000+ members, Trustpilot 4.7) available nationwide
Where it loses points
- Uses partner compounding pharmacies it doesn't name on the site
- Headline prices are Spring-sale rates — everyday cost is higher and the deepest discounts need a 6-month commitment
- Weight loss is one of several verticals (ED, longevity, sleep, hair, skin), not a single focus
- Some bundled perks (e.g. meal prep) are paid add-ons rather than included
