Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideliraglutide

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

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
