Form Health
53/100Where the value is
- Accepts major insurance including Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United
- Physicians are American Board of Obesity Medicine certified
- Pairs every patient with a registered dietitian, not just a prescriber
The tradeoffs
- No cash-pay price disclosed anywhere -- cost is entirely insurance-dependent and opaque to the uninsured
- No compounded-medication option found, limiting access for patients priced out of branded drugs
Freya Meds
53/100Where the value is
- GLP-1 specialist, not a multi-category telehealth platform
- Both quarterly ($250/$332) and monthly ($297/$390) rates are transparently published on the product pages themselves, cancel-anytime with no lock-in
- Bundle includes unlimited doctor consultations, monthly group calls, and a dietitian consultation at no extra charge
The tradeoffs
- The homepage's headline '$150/mo' and '$249/mo' figures do not match either selectable plan on the actual product pages ($250-$390/mo) — they appear to be an annual-prepay rate surfaced by a customer testimonial rather than a plan a shopper can actually select on the pages checked
- No LegitScript certification or equivalent third-party accreditation found on any page checked
