Pros

  • The full dose-by-dose price ladder is published before purchase: semaglutide 0.25 mg (4 injections) $125, 0.5 mg $245, 1.0 mg $295, 1.7 mg + 2.4 mg $345, 2.5 mg $395
  • No subscription is necessary - you can buy a single month without enrolling in anything recurring
  • HSA and FSA cards are accepted
  • Physician access is included in the product price
  • Ships 2-day or overnight, and the product does not require refrigeration in transit
  • A clear, published eligibility floor: a minimum BMI of 27 is required to order
  • If a physician does not approve your order, it is refunded instantly
  • A physician may contact you within 24 hours of purchase if more information is needed

Cons

  • A blanket no-refund policy on everything else: "Our medications are ordered specifically per patient and therefore cannot be refunded. We have a 'no refund policy'"
  • Subscription patients are automatically escalated to a higher dose every month unless they email support to opt out - and the price rises with the dose. The burden is on you to stop it
  • The escalating price ladder means the $125 headline is a first-month figure only. By month five you are at $395
  • You have 48 hours from delivery to inspect the package and report any problem, which is a short window if you are travelling
  • Insurance is not accepted at all
  • HSA/FSA support is minimal - only a plain purchase receipt is provided, with no codes, forms or physician notes if your administrator asks for them
  • The medication is compounded and therefore not FDA-approved
  • No phone number is published - contact is info@citizenmeds.com only
  • The website itself is thin: the product catalogue carries far more detail than the company does

Medications
semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

  • Offers both routes: FDA-approved brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound and Mounjaro, and compounded semaglutide, rather than forcing you down the compounded path
  • Works with insurance and assigns coordinators to help maximise coverage - brand-name medication can be as low as $25/month with insurance
  • Compounded semaglutide is quoted from $151/month when purchased quarterly, and the same figure is quoted for patients without insurance
  • A published phone number ((877) 870-0323), support email and a real New York business address (30 Irving Pl, New York, NY 10003)
  • The subscription, cancellation and refund policy is published in full as a standalone page rather than buried in terms of service
  • Cancellation is self-service through "Manage Membership" in your account, with the steps spelled out
  • Prior authorisations are submitted on your behalf, and the FAQ covers what happens when insurance denies them
  • A broad service (weight loss, sexual health, hair, mental health) with real operational scale behind it

Cons

  • Consultation fees and any charges associated with your provider visit or membership are explicitly non-refundable
  • The membership fee is separate from medication cost, and Zealthy warns it is "not a covered benefit under most health insurance plans or other healthcare benefit plans such as the Health Saving Account or Flexible Spending Account"
  • You must cancel before renewal to avoid being charged for the next period - there is no grace-period refund
  • Once medication has proof of delivery from the carrier, no refund is possible; a replacement means a new charge
  • Membership terms include binding individual arbitration, which waives your right to sue or join a class action
  • Zealthy reserves the right to change fees at any time and to modify the refund policy without prior notice
  • The $151 figure depends on buying quarterly, and permanent "limited time" discount banners ($96 off, "sale ends soon") make the real price hard to pin down
  • The operating entity is FitRX, LLC dba Zealthy, which is not obvious from the branding
