MDLive
Patients who already use MDLIVE for primary care; it isn't built for comparing GLP-1 prices.
Reasons to consider it
- Established virtual primary-care service through participating health plans
- Can prescribe FDA-approved Wegovy and Zepbound when clinically appropriate
- Medication can be sent to your preferred pharmacy
What to weigh up
- GLP-1s require a Primary Care Routine Care visit; urgent care and wellness screenings do not qualify
- Medication-specific cash prices are not published
- GLP-1 prescribing is unavailable in certain states; confirm current eligibility
LifespanningRx
People who want GLP-1 care alongside peptide and longevity treatments, and who are willing to go through a screening before seeing a price.
Reasons to consider it
- Its weight-loss program covers semaglutide and tirzepatide, including brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound when a clinician finds them appropriate
- No membership fees
- Prescriptions are filled by U.S. 503A pharmacies, and it names Strive Pharmacy and Pharmacy Hub as examples
What to weigh up
- No GLP-1 price is published, and the weight-loss items in its shop show as sold out, so pricing comes through the screening
- No refunds once a prescription goes to the pharmacy, and consultation fees are non-refundable once a clinician starts reviewing
- It treats only in states where its clinicians are licensed but doesn't list them
