Medi-Weightloss
54/100Where the value is
- Over 130 in-person clinic locations across the US with on-site labs and body composition analysis at the new-patient visit
- Publishes real introductory numbers ($99 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide first month) rather than staying fully opaque
- Insurance path available for branded Zepbound/Wegovy/Saxenda, with the site claiming most insured patients 'pay between $0 and $50 per visit'
The tradeoffs
- The $99/$199 headline figures are explicitly FIRST-MONTH-ONLY; the ongoing self-pay rate 'varies by program and location' and is never published anywhere on the site
- A separate $199 new-patient visit fee is charged before the first month's medication price even applies
TRT Kingdom
54/100Where the value is
- Confirmed, real compounded GLP-1 (semaglutide) and GLP-1/GIP (tirzepatide) products exist and are separately priced, despite the company's TRT-focused branding
- Named clinical group and Chief Medical Officer (REM Health Medical Group, P.A.; Daniel Olivero) plus two named nurse practitioners
- LegitScript verification badge displayed
The tradeoffs
- The advertised $149/$199 monthly rates require committing to a 4-month plan; no month-to-month or shorter-term price is published
- Pharmacy is described only as 'an FDA registered pharmacy in the USA' -- no name, state, or accreditation given
