PlushCare grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Established virtual primary-care telehealth platform (subsidiary of Transcarent, Inc., a Delaware corporation, alongside Accolade, 2nd.MD, and 98point6 by Transcarent).

Graded #330 · C
Strengths
- Low entry pricing — GLP-1 weight-loss plans starting at $169/mo, with free discreet shipping
- Same-day provider visits and 24/7 provider messaging; 100% online
- Compounded in the USA at FDA-registered labs; can also prescribe brand GLP-1 (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound)
- FSA/HSA eligible with upfront pricing
Where it loses points
- GLP-1 products use generic names ('GLP-1 Daily Support', 'Weight Loss Boost') — semaglutide/tirzepatide not clearly broken out
- Compounding pharmacy/lab partner not named
- Limited published policies (privacy and terms only; no HIPAA notice or refund policy found)
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
Graded #64 · C
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Appointments with US board-certified physicians, not nurse practitioners only
- Virtual primary care — the same doctor can manage GLP-1s alongside other health needs
- Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed health platform with a named corporate parent
Where it loses points
- Facing a California class action alleging deceptive subscription enrollment and unauthorized charges after cancellation
- GLP-1 prescribing is up to the clinician at the visit — not guaranteed at signup
- BBB complaints center on the membership cancellation process
