CoreAge Rx

Anyone who wants one flat monthly price they can plan a full year around, on either molecule, without signing a contract.

Reasons to consider it

  • One price at every dose: semaglutide is $99 from 0.25 mg up to 2.5 mg, and tirzepatide is $149 from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg
  • No membership fee, no insurance needed and no long-term contract, and the price you lock in at checkout stays put as your dose rises
  • If the doctor decides a prescription isn't right for you, CoreAge refunds the medication portion of your payment

What to weigh up

  • Some programs we track publish lower semaglutide prices. Compare billing terms, dose pricing and required fees before choosing.
  • You pay before the doctor reviews your case, and if you aren't approved the FAQ promises a 100% refund while the refund policy keeps a $50 to $100 consultation fee
  • All sales are final once medication ships, because state and federal law don't allow medication returns

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

Shapely

Insured patients in CA, FL, NY or TX who want help getting coverage for brand-name GLP-1s.

Reasons to consider it

  • Named, credentialed founder (Dr. Justin Zaghi, Harvard-trained, board-certified obesity medicine)
  • Genuine insurance-navigation service across 8 major payers, potentially large savings if covered
  • Both cash-pay compounded and insurance-covered branded pathways offered

What to weigh up

  • Live in only 4 states (CA, FL, NY, TX) despite a '50-state expansion' announcement
  • Separate membership fee stacks on top of medication cost, and its headline prices ($9 first month, $49/mo promo) are not the real ongoing rate ($99/mo)
  • Actual out-of-pocket cost for insured users is plan-dependent and not disclosed upfront

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