What MDExam does well

  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide prices are printed on the product pages before you sign up
  • Accepts most major insurance plans, plus cash, card and payment plans
  • The $50 consultation is fully refunded if you're not approved
  • Telemedicine care in all 50 states

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The site also says the program is 'as low as $225 per month', which matches neither product price
  • No dose is given for the $192 or $258 price
  • A $50 consultation fee comes before treatment
  • No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms say only that licensed pharmacies, including 503B outsourcing facilities, fill orders
  • Three clinicians are named, but no medical director, and the team page also shows placeholder profiles
  • The '93% success rate' and '86,000+ patients served' figures are the company's own, with no source
