Graded #145 · C
Strengths
- Direct Primary Care model integrates GLP-1 with continuous primary care — unlike most direct-to-consumer platforms
- GLP-1 at wholesale cost with no markup — semaglutide from $65/mo, tirzepatide from $110/mo (members only)
- Unlimited primary care visits, direct text access, and same-day care bundled in the $89/mo membership
- Routine labs and thousands of medications included in membership — no surprise bills
- Per-dose pricing shown publicly for all 8 dose tiers of both semaglutide and tirzepatide
Where it loses points
- 10 states only (WA, NM, AZ, UT, FL, DC, KS, OK, VA, GA) — limited vs 50-state platforms
- Membership required to access wholesale pricing — $89/mo adds ~$1,068/yr in fixed cost
- 503A pharmacy partners not named
- LegitScript certification not mentioned on the site
- Medical director and corporate legal entity not disclosed
Graded #288 · C

- 100% virtual — weekly appointments with board-certified MDs from home; no travel required
- Remote Patient Monitoring Starter Box: biometric scale + blood pressure cuff sync to care team in real time
- In-network with most commercial insurance plans; may cover visits and monitoring equipment
- Physician-led by Dr. Peter Wilbanks MD (30-yr OB/GYN, VCU) and Dr. Michael Perini MD (ABIM board-certified)

- No LegitScript certification found; compounded availability and specific pricing undisclosed on site
- Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro) availability less prominent in MD pages; semaglutide is primary focus
