AZ Health

Shoppers in the states it covers who want flat compounded GLP-1 pricing and will confirm eligibility first.

Reasons to consider it

  • Transparent flat monthly pricing published up front — semaglutide from $179/mo, tirzepatide from $199/mo, no insurance required
  • Discloses plainly that compounded medications are not FDA-approved
  • FSA/HSA eligible, free discreet shipping, and cancel-anytime language

What to weigh up

  • The tirzepatide injection card and FAQ conflict: $199 versus $249 per month
  • Coverage is unclear: a banner says fifty percent of states while the footer describes Arizona care
  • The prescriber, dispensing pharmacy, and full legal business name are not disclosed

Rivas Medical Weight Loss

Patients already near a physical Rivas clinic in MD, VA, or FL who want the option of in-person injections.

Reasons to consider it

  • Long-tenured, named physician (Dr. Paul Rivas, 30+ years) rather than an anonymous provider pool
  • The $195 first visit includes your first month of compounded medication
  • Wegovy or Zepbound can be prescribed for a $100/mo visit fee, with the drug filled through LillyDirect, NovoCare or your local pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • Telehealth limited to 3 states (MD, VA, FL)
  • From month two the telehealth price is $399 or $599 a month
  • The site doesn't say whether the telehealth price changes with your dose
