8 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than KERNX Health's $209 a month. 6 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $299 a month.

KERNX Health charges one flat monthly price at every dose — $209 for compounded semaglutide, $299 for compounded tirzepatide — with no consultation or membership fee, and names its prescribing clinicians individually.

Best for: Shoppers who expect their dose to rise and want a monthly price that stays the same when it does.

What KERNX Health does well

  • One flat monthly price at every prescribed dose — $209 for semaglutide, $299 for tirzepatide — with no step-up as the dose rises and no introductory rate that ends
  • No consultation fee, no membership fee and no required prepayment; plans run month to month and cancel before the next renewal
  • Care-team messaging seven days a week and monthly provider check-ins are included in the plan, and provider-ordered lab testing is included in the second month
  • Prepaying 52 weeks brings the cost to about $139 (semaglutide) or $209 (tirzepatide) per four weeks
  • Names individual licensed providers (MDs and NPs) with credentials and serves all 50 states

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Because the price is flat, the starting dose costs the same as the top dose, so the first months cost more than at programs that price low doses lower
  • No compounding pharmacy is named publicly; it appears in your treatment details only after approval
  • Prepaid 12-, 24- and 52-week plans renew automatically for the same term unless canceled
  • No single named medical director despite naming individual clinicians
  • Compounded injectables only, with no brand-name medication or insurance billing; support comes from clinicians and the care team rather than separate health coaches
