FormidableMD

Patients in its four covered states who want physician-led care and will confirm how long each prescription lasts before comparing costs.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes an actual dose-by-dose price table for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, rather than a single 'starting at' figure
  • Boutique physician-led practice with real brick-and-mortar roots, bundling labs, HRT/TRT and urgent care
  • FSA/HSA eligible for consultations and services

What to weigh up

  • The drug prices are per prescription, without a published supply length, so a reliable monthly medication cost is not available
  • Visits cost extra: $199 initially and $99 for follow-ups
  • No compounding pharmacy is named

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
