Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s - Zepbound and Wegovy - rather than compounded preparations, so you get the exact product the trials studied
✓Accepts insurance including Medicare, and advertises as low as $0 copay for branded GLP-1s where coverage applies
✓Publishes cash prices too: Wegovy Pen from $199/month and Zepbound Vial from $349/month (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Offers an outcome-based guarantee: 'lose 10% of your weight or your money back', which ties the promise to a result rather than a satisfaction survey
✓HSA and FSA eligible
✓Weight care sits inside a full telehealth service, so urgent care, labs and other specialties are available under the same account

Cons

✗The rotating banner on the weight-management page shows the Wegovy Pen at both '$199' and '$499' in the same carousel, which makes the real starting price unclear before you sign up
✗The money-back guarantee carries a footnote marker on site, so read the qualifying conditions before relying on it
✗Insurance coverage for obesity medication is patchy, so the '$0 copay' outcome will not apply to many people and the cash prices are what you should plan around
✗A 4.0 Trustpilot average is mid-range for this category
✗Branded GLP-1s at $199-$349/month are more expensive than compounded alternatives, which is the trade-off for using an FDA-approved product
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatide

Pros

✓Publishes a real customer phone number with hours - +1 (833) 496-4020, Monday to Friday 9:00am to 5:30pm Mountain Time - which most competitors in this category do not
✓Names its legal entity and a physical address rather than hiding behind a brand
✓Compounded semaglutide from $149/month and compounded tirzepatide from $199/month, with brand-name Wegovy (from $1,579) and Zepbound (from $1,249) also offered (checked July 26, 2026)
✓If a clinician decides treatment is not appropriate, the order is automatically cancelled and refunded
✓The not-FDA-approved disclosure is explicit and appears in the site footer, not buried in a policy page
✓LegitScript certification displayed, and medication ships in discreet refrigerated packaging
✓Same-day clinician review is offered, with the intake quiz taking about two minutes
✓Cancel anytime, with no advertised minimum term

Cons

✗All prescription medications are non-refundable once dispensed - the policy states this flatly, with no goodwill window
✗Damaged, lost or undelivered shipments must be reported within 48 hours, with an order number, tracking number and photo evidence, or you lose the claim
✗Three different prices appear across the site: '$99 first month' in the footer, 'Starting at $149' on the product card, and a published customer testimonial describing 'a flat fee of $299 each month'. The page never reconciles them
✗The refund policy was last updated in February 2025 and refers to 'Sprouth Health Partners LLC', misspelling the company's own name
✗Brand-name pricing is very high: Wegovy at $1,579 and Zepbound at $1,249 a month are above the manufacturers' own direct-pay programmes
✗Shipping takes 3 to 7 business days after the prescription is issued, slower than the 1-2 day delivery several rivals advertise
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.6 from only 118 reviews, against a claim of 50,000+ clients
✗This offer is not available in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi or North Dakota
