Primary Clinic (Direct GLP)

Shoppers inside its 10 served states who want primary care bundled with the prescription and will price the membership in.

Reasons to consider it

  • Both molecules are priced, as dose bands, so the cost of titrating up is visible rather than hidden
  • The $89 membership buys unlimited primary care, direct text access and same-day appointments, not just a prescription
  • Real per-dose pricing rather than one headline rate

What to weigh up

  • The medication price is on top of an $89/mo membership, which the FAQ states does not include the drug — all-in is about $174/mo semaglutide and $222/mo tirzepatide
  • Prices are published as dose BANDS, and the cheapest tirzepatide band starts at 1.25 mg, below the 2.5 mg labeled starting dose
  • Only 10 states served — a coverage gamble that guts its nationwide-access score

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