Pros

✓The full price ladder is published on the product page, not hidden behind a quiz: compounded semaglutide is $129 billed monthly, $119/mo on 3 months ($357), $109/mo on 6 months ($654) and $99/mo on 12 months ($1,188), checked July 26, 2026
✓You are not charged until a licensed provider confirms you are eligible. bmiMD authorises your card, releases the hold if you do not qualify, and states you 'won't incur any charges'
✓A 100% money-back guarantee if you are not approved for treatment, including the assessment
✓Unusually broad catalogue beyond GLP-1s: microdose semaglutide and tirzepatide, metformin from $19/mo, MIC + B12 from $69/mo, naltrexone/bupropion, sermorelin and NAD+
✓Free shipping on every subscription order and 24/7 clinician access included in the plan price
✓The compounded disclosure is explicit and specific, naming FDA-registered facilities while stating the drugs are not FDA-approved
✓Subscriptions can be cancelled or paused from your account rather than only by email

Cons

✗A $50 non-refundable cancellation fee applies if you cancel after your intake is approved but before the pharmacy processes the order - a charge most competitors do not levy
✗Once the prescription reaches the pharmacy, all sales are final: 'we do not offer refunds for partially used subscription periods'
✗The site runs constant price-increase pressure - a sitewide 'Prices increase soon, lock in today's rate before it goes up' banner, a 'Price increases in' countdown, 'LIMITED TIME' on every plan tier and 'Lock This Price Now' on every product
✗The homepage contradicts itself on tirzepatide, listing it at 'Starting as low as $149/mo' in one block and 'As low as $139/month' in another
✗The $99 headline requires committing to 12 months and paying $1,188 upfront; month to month is $129
✗This offer is not available in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota or South Carolina
✗No BBB profile and a relatively small Trustpilot sample mean limited independent history to check
✗No published customer phone number, and the compounded disclosure sits on product pages rather than the landing page

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideliraglutide

Pros

✓Accepts insurance, which almost nothing else on this site does. Most in-network patients pay a copay of $30 or less for a visit
✓Membership is $19.99/month with the first month free, and there is no minimum commitment
✓Prescribes only FDA-approved medications - Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical - so no compounded product is involved
✓Care comes from board-certified primary care physicians rather than an asynchronous questionnaire review
✓A full refund is offered if the doctor is unable to treat you
✓Membership includes far more than weight care: 24/7 urgent care video visits, mental health support, discounted lab tests and free memberships for family
✓An in-app prescription discount card and HSA/FSA eligibility can reduce medication costs further
✓The site is candid that GLP-1s 'usually cost about $1000 per month out of pocket' and advises checking insurance coverage first, rather than hiding the real figure

Cons

✗The $19.99 membership buys access, not medication. Without insurance coverage the GLP-1 itself can run about $1,000 a month, which PlushCare states openly but which makes the headline price misleading if read as a treatment cost
✗Visits are charged on top of membership - $129 for an initial visit without in-network insurance
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.4 out of 5 across 2,735 reviews, the weakest score of any established provider we have reviewed here
✗Prescriptions are explicitly at the doctor's discretion, so paying for membership and a visit does not guarantee you leave with a GLP-1
✗This is a general telehealth service, so the weight-loss programme has less dedicated structure - no built-in coaching, food tracking or dose-titration support
✗Medication and lab costs are excluded from every advertised price, so your real monthly outlay depends entirely on your insurer
✗Contrave is offered as a $99 cash-pay alternative, but the cash cost of the GLP-1s themselves is not published
✗If you have no insurance and want a GLP-1, this route is likely to cost far more than the compounded providers listed elsewhere on this site
