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.

Optimized Health

Shoppers who want a simple, all-inclusive starting price with no separate visit or membership fee, in one of five served states.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes compounded GLP-1 starting prices including medication, monitoring and provider care
  • Offers branded Wegovy or Zepbound prescribing, with medication billed separately by the pharmacy
  • Names Mathew Hammons, PA-C as lead prescriber

What to weigh up

  • Telehealth is limited to Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Utah and Washington
  • Higher-dose compounded prices are not published; confirm your protocol-specific bill
  • Labs and retesting are billed separately when ordered

NuviaRx

Shoppers willing to prepay a full year to get the lowest 'starting' price on paper.

Reasons to consider it

  • Genuinely flat pricing across all doses within the annual plan, with consultation and monthly check-ins bundled in
  • No membership fees or dose-escalation surcharges disclosed
  • Free home delivery included; cancel-anytime language present despite the annual-prepay framing

What to weigh up

  • The advertised '$140/$170 starting' price is gated behind a full annual prepay — no month-to-month rate is published anywhere on the site, so the headline figure is not accessible the way it reads
  • Names two pharmacies that may fill your prescription, Manifest Pharmacy in South Carolina and RX Compounding Store in Miami, but you don't choose which
  • States served are not listed; the site only says 'Not available in all states'
