Better U Care

Shoppers in its 21 states who want a clinician to prescribe a brand-name GLP-1 to their own pharmacy, or a compounded plan with the visit included.

Reasons to consider it

  • Brand-name prescriptions go to a pharmacy of your choice, so insurance can cover the drug
  • Compounded plans include the medication and the provider consultation in one monthly price
  • Publishes its list of 21 covered states rather than a vague 'most states' claim

What to weigh up

  • Available in 21 states, not nationwide, and a second list on the same page shows only 18
  • The $150 brand-name visit doesn't include the medication, and no drug price is published
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't shown on its weight-loss page; the prices appear only at its checkout

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.

Fridays

Patients who value bundled clinical and lifestyle support and will confirm the selected plan total and renewal price before paying.

Reasons to consider it

  • Bundles provider visits, coaching, dietitian support and medication on compounded plans
  • Names OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical network
  • Publishes Red Rock, Health Warehouse, Precision Medicine and Triad Rx as pharmacy partners

What to weigh up

  • Hero promotional $99/$198 figures conflict with standing annual captions and another pricing section; confirm the actual plan and renewal amount
  • The $49 first-month Wegovy figure is a membership charge, with medication extra; the $98 figure requires an annual plan
  • No complete state eligibility list is published

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
