Amazon One Medical
73/100Where the value is
- Prescribes only FDA-approved branded medications — no compounded product risk, which in this ranking only LillyDirect also avoids
- Same-day medication delivery available in roughly 3,000 cities via Amazon Pharmacy's existing logistics network
- One Medical membership is explicitly optional, not a gate, to access GLP-1 care
The tradeoffs
- The care fee (~$39-$49) and the medication cost are billed completely separately — the site itself warns 'the cost of your prescribed medication is not included with the treatment price,' so no single headline number captures the real all-in cost
- The lowest advertised Rx price ('$149 with coupon if eligible') is conditional on manufacturer coupon eligibility, not guaranteed to every patient
Ozari Health
73/100Where the value is
- Very low entry pricing — compounded semaglutide from $86/month
- LegitScript certified and operated by a named entity (Ozari LLC)
- Board-certified physicians; meds compounded in 503A and 503B facilities
The tradeoffs
- The advertised rates are three-month starter plans for first-time GLP-1 users, billed $257 and $375 up front; month-to-month is $175 and $235
- Canceling an annual or semi-annual plan early re-prices the installments already shipped at the standard monthly rate and charges the difference
