AMP Health
46/100Where the value is
- Named founder and clinical lead (Amanda Peyronel, CRNP)
- Transparent, low consultation fee for the weight-management visit ($100)
- Offers injectable GLP-1s alongside broader hormone therapy
The tradeoffs
- No actual semaglutide/tirzepatide drug pricing published anywhere on the site
- Limited to three states (MD, VA, DC) rather than a national telehealth footprint
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Dripgym Mobile Parent, LLC dba Amp Health in February 2026. We still list and link to AMP Health; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
Roen Rx
46/100Where the value is
- Insurance coordination path can bring brand-name GLP-1s down to as low as $25/mo for covered patients
- Both compounded and brand-name (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro) options on one platform
- Explicitly serves all 50 states and DC
The tradeoffs
- The advertised LegitScript badge on the homepage is literally commented out in the page's HTML source and never renders on the live site — despite being present in source, it is not a real, visible certification a visitor sees
- Medication cost and membership fee are billed separately; the membership's regular (non-promotional) monthly price is never disclosed anywhere checked, only the '$39 first month' discount
Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Roen Health, Inc. dba RoenRx in June 2026. We still list and link to Roen Rx; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
