Ondra Health takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 90 to 45. A rare combination — near-rock-bottom pricing on both molecules, all-50 access, brand-name availability, and a LegitScript-verified pharmacy behind it. MD Trim Clinic still earns a C — Cost-first shoppers who want dO+NP-led compounded sema/tirz clinic; tiered dosing, AZ+CA telehealth + in-office, B12 anti-nausea.

Ondra Health
90/100Where the value is
- Among the lowest disclosed prices on the board — $93 semaglutide and $166 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states with both molecules published for clean cost modeling
- LegitScript-certified, and offers FDA-approved brand-name access alongside compounded
The tradeoffs
- A newer, lower-profile operator without CoreAge's long flat-price track record
- No oral/sublingual route
MD Trim Clinic
45/100Where the value is
- Physician DO + NP team (Dr. Brandon Shaw, D.O. and Andrea Farris, N.P.) provides strong clinical oversight
- Compounded meds from LegitScript-certified pharmacies — higher supply-chain trust than many small practices
- Tiered dosing structure (Level 1 / Level 2) with B12 added to reduce nausea side effects
The tradeoffs
- Pricing not disclosed publicly — must contact clinic for quotes, limiting upfront comparison shopping
- Only AZ and CA confirmed — very limited geographic reach, excludes nearly all of the US
