1 of the 8 programs below lists semaglutide for less than MyStart Health's $299 a month.

MyStart Health is a cash-pay GLP-1 telehealth program priced at a single blended $299/month rate covering physician evaluations, unlimited clinician follow-ups, a 4-week or 12-week medication supply, bloodwork, and shipping.

Best for: Shoppers who want a single flat all-inclusive monthly price and don't need semaglutide vs. tirzepatide broken out separately.

What MyStart Health does well

  • Genuinely all-inclusive stated price: physician evaluations, unlimited follow-ups, bloodwork, and shipping are explicitly bundled into the $299 figure with 'no hidden fees'
  • Price-lock guarantee explicitly covers dose increases — the FAQ states the price won't rise 'even if your dosage increases'
  • Named Chief Medical Advisor (Dr. Ritu Chopra, Beverly Hills MD)
  • Clear, simple cancellation process via email with confirmation

Why readers look for an alternative

  • Does not publish separate pricing for semaglutide vs. tirzepatide — $299 is a single blended program price, so it's unclear which drug (or whether both) that figure actually buys
  • A sitewide 'Lifetime 25% Off' promo banner is not reconciled against the stated '$299/month excluding any discounts' base price or the price-lock guarantee's 'excluding our first-time discount' exception — genuinely ambiguous what a patient ends up paying long-term
  • No compounding pharmacy named, only generic 'US facilities that meet strict USP standards'
  • No state-coverage list and no LegitScript certification
  • FDA issued Matthew Stern, CEO MyStart Health LLC. a warning letter in September 2025; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
