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.

Florida Weight Loss MD

Florida residents who want an established medical and surgical practice with in-person care, telehealth and insurance assistance.

Reasons to consider it

  • Medical care led by Dr. Sergey Terushkin, MD, FACS
  • Publishes starting monthly compounded prices of $179/$279
  • Offers separate brand-name prescription evaluations and insurance prior-authorization support

What to weigh up

  • The $79 initial evaluation is separate from medication and ongoing program costs
  • Final price depends on dose, supply and medical evaluation
  • The $149 tirzepatide headline requires a qualifying multi-month purchase, rather than the $279 monthly option

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

PlushCare

Patients who want a real board-certified physician managing GLP-1s alongside general primary care, and are prepared to navigate insurance or a manufacturer cash-pay program rather than a single flat price.

Reasons to consider it

  • Board-certified physicians (not NP-only) available in all 50 states for general virtual primary care
  • Lists the Zepbound self-pay prices by dose on its own page: vials at $299, $399 and $449 a month, pens at $650
  • Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed platform with a named, traceable corporate lineage

What to weigh up

  • Compounded semaglutide ($149 at 0.25 mg, $299 above) is offered only while the brand drug is on FDA's shortage list, and compounded options only in 40 states plus DC
  • A $19.99/mo membership (first month free) and, without insurance, a $129 visit come on top of the medication price
  • The Wegovy page still quotes a $199 first-months price 'valid through March 2026', a date that has passed; its own headline says from $499
