Medications

compounded GLP-1compounded GLP-1/GIPbrand-name GLP-1s

Pros

✓The GLP-1 pricing page is the most transparent we have seen anywhere in this category: a dose-by-dose table for four different products, with shipping and supplies included in every figure (checked July 28, 2026)
✓Compounded GLP-1 injectable runs $165.90 for the lowest doses, $270.90 in the mid range and $355.00 at the top; the dual-action GLP-1/GIP injectable runs $210.00 to $434.00, all for a 4-week supply
✓Sublingual options are offered as well, from $164.00 for GLP-1 and $209.00 for dual-action GLP-1/GIP, for people who will not inject
✓Its partner compounding pharmacies are 503B-accredited. 503B outsourcing facilities register with the FDA, are subject to current good manufacturing practice requirements and are FDA-inspected - a materially higher standard than the 503A pharmacies most competitors use
✓There is no membership fee. You pay for care and medication only
✓Visits are insurance-covered for qualifying patients, and HSA/FSA funds can be used for copays and services
✓Midi will also prescribe brand-name GLP-1s sent to a pharmacy of your choice, so you are not locked into compounded product if you would rather have the approved drug
✓The efficacy claim is the best-sourced in this category. Midi reports patients lost an average of 16 lbs after six or more months, and footnotes it to a retrospective analysis of 6,958 patients who completed two or more weight management visits between 1 May 2025 and 30 April 2026, while stating plainly that weight data were self-reported and results are not guaranteed
✓Care is genuinely whole-person for midlife women - perimenopause, menopause, weight, mood and memory, sexual wellness, hair and skin, sleep, and cancer survivorship - with lab orders and lifestyle support included where appropriate
✓Available in all 50 states

Cons

✗The compounded products are still not FDA-approved. 503B accreditation raises the manufacturing standard considerably but does not mean the FDA has reviewed these preparations for safety or efficacy
✗Midi never names the active drug anywhere in its pricing. Everything is labelled 'GLP-1' or 'GLP-1/GIP'. The dose ladders shown - 0.25 through 2.5 mg, and 2.5 through 15 mg - match the standard semaglutide and tirzepatide titrations exactly, but you should confirm with the clinician what you are actually being prescribed
✗Microdosing is offered from $34 a week for eligible patients. Microdosing is not an evidence-based protocol - the trials behind these drugs used full therapeutic doses, and the 16 lb outcome figure covers patients on 'a range of treatments', not microdosing specifically
✗Medicaid and Medi-Cal patients cannot be treated at all, even if they offer to pay cash
✗Medicare does not cover Midi, and beneficiaries cannot submit claims for visits, medications or associated services
✗Prices rise steeply as you titrate up. Injectable GLP-1 more than doubles from $165.90 to $355.00, and the dual-action sublingual runs from $209.00 to $460.00, so the entry price is not what you will pay long term
✗The 16 lb average comes from self-reported weights in a retrospective chart review with no control group - well documented, but not a controlled trial
✗GLP-1 medications are not suitable for anyone with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2, or during pregnancy. Pancreatitis and gallbladder disease are recognised risks

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
