NovoCare Pharmacy vs This Gen Wellness
The verdict
This Gen Wellness takes it — 56.9/100 to 55.2/100, but only just.
This Gen Wellness grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. This Gen Wellness is a New York-only telehealth practice operated by ThisGen, LLC, offering medically supervised weight loss alongside hormone therapy and ED care. NovoCare Pharmacy is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.
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.

Graded #442 · C
Strengths
- First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
- $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
- $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
- Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
- Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk
Where it loses points
- Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
- Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
- No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
- Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
- $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
Graded #405 · C
Strengths
- Requires a synchronous live audio-video visit with a New York-licensed clinician — prescriptions are never issued from the intake form alone
- Assessment and clinician review are free; you only pay if treatment is prescribed and you choose to proceed
- Names its legal entity (ThisGen, LLC) and specifies New York governing law in its terms
- No long-term contracts — plans can be paused or stopped
- The same clinician follows your care, with ongoing secure messaging between visits
Where it loses points
- Publishes no prices at all — 'We don't list flat prices on the website'; cost is disclosed only after a clinician reviews your assessment
- Serves New York only — 'we currently operate exclusively for patients located in New York'
- Dispensing pharmacies are not named, only described as 'licensed U.S. pharmacies'
- Does not state whether its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded or brand-name
- Does not bill insurance; verifying any reimbursement is the patient's responsibility
