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

Medications

tirzepatide

Pros

✓Flat pricing that does not punish titration: $219/month for tirzepatide with "Same Price at Any Dose — No Tiered Price Hikes"
✓Everything needed to inject is included - syringes, needles and step-by-step instructions - which sounds small until you have to source them yourself
✓Free, discreet shipping direct to your door
✓A published phone number, 813-413-1000, and stated support hours of Monday to Friday 10am-5pm EST
✓Provider-led care with ongoing medical consultations included rather than charged per visit
✓Weight-loss claims are footnoted to the actual trial - SURMOUNT-1, 72 weeks - with the caveat that individual results vary and are not guaranteed
✓An established men's health clinic with adjacent testosterone, anti-aging and sexual-health services and in-house lab ordering

Cons

✗A three-month minimum purchase, so $219/month is really a $657 commitment before you know how you tolerate the medication
✗The medication is compounded, not FDA-approved
✗Support hours are narrow: Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm EST only, with nothing at evenings or weekends
✗Marketing claims are large and unverifiable from the page: "Trusted by 350,000+ Men" and "4.9★ (2,000+ Reviews)" are presented without linking to the source of either figure
✗Tirzepatide only - no semaglutide option within the weight-loss line
✗Framed entirely around men, so it is not the right starting point if you are not one
✗No insurance billing, and HSA/FSA acceptance is not stated
✗The scrolling marquee of claims across the top of the page is closer to advertising than disclosure
