Teleios Health

Graded #327 · C

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide from $99/mo — among the lowest floor prices in cash-pay telehealth
  • Compounded tirzepatide from a competitive $139/mo floor
  • Markets physician (MD/DO) prescribing rather than an NP-only model
  • Clean meta-tag and SEO implementation

Where it loses points

  • Single-page app: state availability, pharmacy partner, dose pricing, lab requirements, and refund policy aren't visible and couldn't be verified
  • No named medical director, physician, or corporate entity disclosed
  • Year founded unknown — a newer floor-price entrant warranting extra scrutiny
  • No LegitScript, NABP, or SOC 2 trust signal found
  • Heavy paid-acquisition ad-tech stack — pair with diligence on the clinical layer
Transcarent

Graded #445 · C

Strengths

  • Comprehensive Weight Health pathway from lifestyle to GLP-1s to surgery
  • Care team of doctors, nurses and pharmacists supports medication use
  • Uses direct pharma contracts and a transparent PBM to cut costs
  • Integrates bariatric surgery navigation alongside medication
  • Built on 15 years of Surgery Center of Excellence experience

Where it loses points

  • Distributed only via employers and health plans, no direct cash-pay
  • GLP-1 access depends on whether the plan covers the medication
  • No public individual monthly pricing
  • Not available to consumers without an eligible employer or plan
