LillyDirect Foundayo

Patients who want an FDA-approved, manufacturer-direct oral GLP-1 rather than a compounded injectable.

Reasons to consider it

  • First-party Eli Lilly program -- highest possible manufacturer authenticity
  • FDA-approved branded drug (orforglipron), not an unapproved compounded formulation
  • Published self-pay starting price ($149) via savings card

What to weigh up

  • Not semaglutide or tirzepatide -- a different molecule (orforglipron), so not directly comparable on this list
  • The $149 price is tied to a specific Savings Card program with its own terms, not an unconditional list price
  • No clarity on whether $149 is truly the ongoing monthly cost or could change

The Calibrate Clinic

Louisiana patients who want phone-based care and can budget for the regular monthly rate.

Reasons to consider it

  • Regular monthly rates are $215 semaglutide and $329 tirzepatide
  • Published rates cover every dose, provider care and delivery
  • No membership fee or long-term contract

What to weigh up

  • Shipping is currently available to Louisiana patients only
  • The $145/$199 figures apply only to the first month
  • A $30 consultation deposit is collected separately
