The better fit depends on what is included in your quote. A lower advertised price can require prepayment, apply to a starting dose or leave out a separate fee.

MEDGm

Readers who want the dispensing pharmacies and the prescribing practices named, and who will price the second month rather than the first.

Reasons to consider it

  • Names all four pharmacy partners in its terms, with street addresses, phone numbers and websites, and says which compounding classes they operate under
  • Names seven prescribing professional corporations on its consent page rather than referring to an unnamed medical group
  • Prices three GLP-1 routes — semaglutide injection, semaglutide tablet and tirzepatide — at one, three, six and twelve months, all on the public product pages before any intake

What to weigh up

  • The GLP-1 page's "Starting at $169" is the twelve-month rate paid upfront ($2,028), and the $179 that follows it is a first-month coupon price; month to month, semaglutide injections cost $299, tablets $369 and tirzepatide $399
  • The treatments FAQ says "your price never increases" on a plan whose price increases by $120 at the first renewal
  • The twelve-month bundle is charged upfront, renews for another full upfront year up to ten days early, and none of it is refundable once charged

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

NuvaHealth

NuvaHealth's website no longer loads, so there's no way to sign up or order.

Provider background

  • LegitScript certified with a working verification badge
  • Names four real pharmacy partners (Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, Casa Pharma Rx) rather than one anonymous 'licensed pharmacy'
  • All 50 states served per its own FAQ

What to weigh up

  • The headline $89/$139 prices are explicitly first-month-only per NuvaHealth's own FAQ — the real month-two-plus recurring price is not published anywhere and only appears at checkout after intake
  • No named prescriber or medical director anywhere on the site
  • No dose-tier pricing table, so it's impossible to know what a titrated-up dose costs even in month one
