Medical Health Institute

Shoppers comparing across TRT, peptides, and weight loss under one provider who don't need public pricing detail up front.

Reasons to consider it

  • Advertises a competitively low $100/mo entry price for GLP-1 weight loss
  • Offers multiple service lines (weight loss, TRT, peptide therapy) under one provider
  • LegitScript and HIPAA-compliance badges both displayed on the homepage

What to weigh up

  • The $100/mo headline price carries the company's own asterisk — '*Based on pharmacy availability' — meaning it is explicitly not a guaranteed rate before intake
  • No dose tier or even which drug (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide) the $100 figure applies to is disclosed anywhere public
  • Claims 'Transparent pricing' and 'no surprise fees' while publishing no actual itemized price breakdown beyond the asterisked floor

Care Clinics

Shoppers who want a fixed program price, paid once, with medication and the visit included.

Reasons to consider it

  • Corporate entity (Care Clinics PLLC) and a named 503A pharmacy (Partell Pharmacy) disclosed
  • LegitScript certified
  • Explicit 31-state list published in the FAQ, not vague 'most states' language

What to weigh up

  • These are fixed programs, not monthly plans: semaglutide is $259 for 7 weeks, so the monthly figure here is an equivalent, not a charge
  • The homepage shows lower tirzepatide figures ($299 for 4 weeks, $349 for 3 months) than the tirzepatide page ($329 and $399), so check the price in the booking portal
  • No named prescriber or medical director — only generic 'our healthcare provider' language
