Best for: Someone who wants to compare a compounded route against brand-name Zepbound or Wegovy without leaving one provider, and who will read past the twelve-month figure.
What RxSpan MD does well
- Every product and every term carries a published price, including the brand-name lane: Zepbound at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349
- Three ways to take it on one account: a weekly injection, a daily capsule of either molecule, or a brand-name drug
- Names its medical group, Lion MD, with two lead physicians and their NPI numbers, and lists four dispensing pharmacies with phone numbers
- A physician-founded program serving all 50 states
- Longer plans are priced as totals ($657 for three months of semaglutide, $1,194 for six), so you know exactly what you are charged and when
Why readers look for an alternative
- The figure a reader is most likely to meet elsewhere, around $194, is the twelve-month per-month rate; one month of the semaglutide injection is $249
- Its semaglutide prices match Prime Doctor RX's to the dollar at every plan length, so comparing the two on price tells you little
- Brand-name pricing is cash pricing: none of those three figures reflects insurance
