RxSpan MD vs Vida Health
The verdict
RxSpan MD takes it — 86.8/100 to 55.2/100.
RxSpan MD grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. A physician-led telehealth under board-certified founder Dr. John Diaz with a broad GLP-1 menu — compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by injection or oral capsule, plus a brand-name lane and microdosing — on transparent all-inclusive pricing to all 50 states.

Graded #4 · B
Strengths
- Available in all 50 states
- Transparent, all-inclusive published pricing — consult, medication, supplies, shipping and support, cancel anytime, from ~$194/mo compounded semaglutide on an annual plan
- Both injectable and a real oral (capsule) route, plus compounded and an advertised brand-name lane
- Physician-led by a named, board-certified founder (Dr. John Diaz) with 24/7 messaging and coaching
Where it loses points
- Compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide are not FDA-approved (not the same as Wegovy/Ozempic/Zepbound)
- Published pricing is for the compounded line — brand-name pricing isn’t itemized
- A prescription isn’t guaranteed — a provider reviews eligibility after checkout
Graded #446 · C
Strengths
- Medical Weight Loss program includes anti-obesity GLP-1 medications
- Pairs medication with behavioral-health coaching and medical management
- Whole-person care across chronic conditions, sleep, and nutrition
- Integrates with major health plans, PBMs, and benefit platforms
- Established virtual chronic-care platform
Where it loses points
- Distributed mainly via employers and health plans, not direct cash-pay
- Access usually requires employer or plan sponsorship
- No public consumer GLP-1 pricing
- Clinician credentials not detailed publicly
- Less suited to consumers wanting direct-to-door GLP-1
