Heva Health
60/100Where the value is
- Tirzepatide pricing is broken out into a clear, labeled ladder ($339/mo month-to-month down to $299/mo on a 6-month plan) rather than a single vague 'starting at' figure
- Explicitly discloses a real state-level restriction for tirzepatide (unavailable in Alaska, Arkansas, Indiana, Minnesota, South Carolina) instead of a vague coverage claim
- Named, credentialed care team (Dr. Caroline Tade NMD, Kasey Horrell PA-C, Dr. Daniel Hall DNP/NP-C, Kelly Moore FNP)
The tradeoffs
- The $149.99/month 'Weight Loss Program' figure is never explicitly confirmed as the semaglutide-specific price on the pages checked — it may be a generic teaser rather than a labeled per-drug rate
- Tirzepatide's '3-Month Program' is listed at the identical $339/month as the month-to-month rate despite being advertised as '15% savings vs month-to-month' — a page inconsistency worth flagging before treating either figure as final
Options Medical Weight Loss
60/100Where the value is
- Rare in-person clinic model with ABOM (obesity-medicine board) certified providers
- LegitScript certified and Newsweek-recognized
- Medication included in the advertised monthly price, not billed separately
The tradeoffs
- Only available in 9 states with in-person locations, heavily concentrated in Illinois and Ohio
- 'Starting at' prices are for the lowest dose only; real cost at higher/maintenance doses not disclosed
