Genesis Lifestyle Medicine vs Maven Clinic
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.
Genesis Lifestyle Medicine
Cost-first shoppers who want in-person med-spa GLP-1 across a real multi-state footprint, if you're comfortable calling for pricing rather than seeing it online.
Visit Genesis Lifestyle MedicineMaven Clinic
Cost-first shoppers who want employees whose employer or health plan already sponsors Maven -- not a fit for cash-pay compounded-GLP-1 price shopping.
Visit Maven ClinicThe verdict
Genesis Lifestyle Medicine takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 46 to 45. Genesis Lifestyle Medicine is a hybrid med-spa/telehealth chain with 16 physical locations across 8 states (TN, TX, NV, UT, IN, CO, FL, GA). Maven Clinic still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want employees whose employer or health plan already sponsors Maven -- not a fit for cash-pay compounded-GLP-1 price shopping.

Genesis Lifestyle Medicine
46/100Where the value is
- 16 physical clinics confirmed by name across 8 states, allowing genuine in-person visits and injections rather than pure telehealth
- Confirmed dual modality — the nav explicitly lists both compounded semaglutide/tirzepatide and brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound on the same platform
- LegitScript verification badge displayed
The tradeoffs
- Zero pricing is published anywhere reached — /pricing and /weight-loss both 404, and the homepage gives no dollar figure for any of the five listed weight-loss products
- Location count could not be confirmed at the dataset's previously-recorded '18' — the live homepage states 16
Maven Clinic
45/100Where the value is
- Large, established, reputable telehealth brand with broad clinical specialties
- Genuinely offers brand-name GLP-1 prescribing (not compounded) through a self-pay consumer track
- Metabolic and hormone health specialists plus nutrition/strength support included
The tradeoffs
- No public cash price for the self-pay GLP-1 program could be found anywhere on the site
- Core business model is employer/insurance-benefit access, not direct-to-consumer cash pay
