Roen Rx vs TeleFirst Med
The verdict
Roen Rx takes it — 59.2/100 to 57.4/100, but only just.
Roen Rx grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. Roen Rx offers compounded semaglutide as well as brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro with insurance coordination. TeleFirst Med is close behind and may still be the better fit — see the factor split below.

Graded #348 · C
Strengths
- Insurance coordination for brand-name GLP-1s — as low as $25/mo
- Both compounded and brand-name options
- LegitScript approved with Compounded USA badge
- Compounded semaglutide from $151/mo quarterly
- Also offers primary care, mental health, and other specialties
Where it loses points
- State availability not publicly disclosed
- Insurance coordination may not work for all plans
- Broader platform (ED, hair loss, skincare, birth control)
- Requires a separate membership (first month $39); GLP-1 medications are NOT included in the membership fee - medication is billed on top
Graded #399 · C
Strengths
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
Where it loses points
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
