The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

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

The Virtual NP

Patients in its seven served states who want branded Wegovy or Zepbound with a separately priced provider visit or membership.

Reasons to consider it

  • Prescribes FDA-approved branded medications (Wegovy/Zepbound) rather than compounded versions
  • Named clinical founder (Sandra Jordan, MSN, APRN, FNP-C)
  • Low, transparent provider fee ($99/visit or $75/month membership)

What to weigh up

  • Medication is billed separately and varies by pharmacy and insurance
  • Available in Texas, Florida, New York, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Kansas
  • A specific dispensing pharmacy is not named
