5 of the 8 programs below list semaglutide for less than TeleClinic's $199 a month. 7 of the 8 list tirzepatide for less than its $299 a month.

TeleClinic's standard rate is $199 a month for compounded semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, locked as your dose rises, after a $79 or $149 first month; Rush Pharmacy fills every order.

Best for: Shoppers outside California, New Jersey and South Carolina who want a cheap first month and a rate that's locked as the dose goes up.

What TeleClinic does well

  • Names its pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy, a 503A compounder) and its physician network (LocumTele)
  • Price-lock: the monthly rate stays the same as your dose increases, for as long as you're a member
  • Publishes a full list of the 47 states it serves
  • No long-term contract and no cancellation fee; you can pause or cancel anytime
  • Monthly check-ins with your physician, free shipping, and no charge if a physician decides you don't qualify

Why readers look for an alternative

  • The $79 and $149 headline prices cover only the first month; after that it's $199 and $299, or $139 and $219 a month for the first quarter if you pay quarterly
  • Not available in California, New Jersey or South Carolina
  • Refills renew automatically every 30 days until you cancel
  • Refunds are limited to damaged, lost or misfilled shipments
  • Some states require a brief video call before a prescription
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved products
