Pros

  • It bills your insurance instead of asking you to forget insurance exists. Circle Medical states it is in-network with most commercial plans
  • Publishes a real out-of-pocket figure rather than a marketing one: patients with accepted insurance paid an average of $35 per appointment over the previous six months
  • FDA-approved medication only - Wegovy, Zepbound and non-GLP-1 options such as Contrave when appropriate. No compounded product
  • No membership and no hidden fees, which is rare among insurance-accepting telehealth services
  • This is a full primary-care practice, so weight management sits inside ongoing medical care rather than being a standalone drug subscription
  • Clear, conventional eligibility criteria published up front: BMI 27+ with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, diabetes or sleep apnea, or BMI 30+ without one
  • A mobile app with regular provider check-ins
  • Honest about supply and coverage: the site warns these treatments have significant stock issues and are not always covered
  • Insurance verification is built into the booking flow, so you find out where you stand before the appointment

Cons

  • Your cost is whatever your plan says it is. $35 is an average, not a price - deductibles and exclusions can leave you paying far more
  • The medication itself is a separate cost from the visit, and coverage for weight-loss drugs is the single most commonly denied benefit in this category
  • You must live in the state you are treated in and have your primary pharmacy in that same state, which rules out anyone splitting time between states
  • The full list of available states is not published - you have to start booking an appointment to see it
  • You may be booked with any available provider (MD, DO, PA-C or NP) rather than choosing one
  • If your insurance denies weight-loss coverage, there is no cash-pay compounded fallback here

Pros

  • Prices are published openly for every product, with the renewal rate shown alongside the introductory one: NAD+ $89 first month then $149, sermorelin $109 then $219, glutathione $79 then $149, oral sermorelin $79 then $159, MIC + B12 $89/mo and GHK-Cu cream $109/mo (checked July 28, 2026)
  • Three delivery formats for NAD+ - injection, nasal spray and liposomal liquid - so needle-free options exist
  • Products are described as American made and third-party tested
  • The intake is short and a licensed provider reviews it before anything ships, with free 2-day shipping
  • No insurance required and no membership fee stacked on top of the product price

Cons

  • This is not a GLP-1 weight loss service. System Labs sells no semaglutide, no tirzepatide and no GLP-1 of any kind - the words do not appear anywhere on its site. If you are shopping for weight loss medication, this provider cannot supply it
  • We could not find any statement that the compounded peptides are not FDA-approved. That disclosure is standard across this category and its absence is the single biggest gap on the site
  • There is no refund or cancellation policy published at all - only a privacy policy and terms page
  • No independent review signal exists: no Trustpilot profile, no BBB file, and no rating displayed on site
  • Introductory pricing roughly doubles at renewal on most products, and the renewal price is the one you will pay for the rest of the course
  • Sermorelin, GHK-Cu and high-dose NAD+ have limited published human trial evidence for the benefits implied - 'perform 10 years younger' style claims are not supported by the kind of trials that back GLP-1 medications
  • No published phone number, support hours or physical address
  • The 'up to 1600mg' NAD+ potency claim is presented as an advantage without any evidence that higher doses produce better outcomes
