Nu Image Medical
69/100Where the value is
- Publishes the identity of all four fulfillment pharmacies in its terms (Absolute Pharmacy LLC, Belmar Pharma Solutions, The Pharmacy Hub, TMC Acquisition dba Tailor Made Compounding) rather than staying anonymous about who compounds the medication
- LegitScript certified with a visible certificate number (453964)
- Both injectable and rapid-dissolve-tablet (RDT) formulations available for both semaglutide and tirzepatide
The tradeoffs
- The headline 'as low as' price is a floor across four different pharmacies with no guarantee which one fills a given order, so the number a specific patient actually pays can differ from the advertised figure
- No state coverage list is published anywhere — not the homepage, not the enrollment page, not the terms — only a generic 'where Services are available' clause
Revel Health
69/100Where the value is
- All-in pricing confirmed on-site — consultation, medication, supplies, and shipping in one number, no add-on fees disclosed
- LegitScript verification seal is live and checkable for myrevelhealth.com
- Explicit, specific 45-state coverage list published rather than a vague claim
The tradeoffs
- The prominently displayed $99/$149 figures are first-month-only promotional prices — the standing rate from month two on is $199/$249, and the page's side-by-side display makes the promo easy to mistake for the ongoing price
- Not available in AK, AR, NC, NJ, or MS
