Oria Meds vs Fidelity Medical Clinic
Two GLP-1 programs on the bench, scored on the same six factors. Here's how their real cost of ownership compares — and which one we'd start with.

Shoppers comfortable reading a tiered per-order price table rather than a flat subscription.
Visit Fidelity Medical ClinicThe verdict
Oria Meds takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 62 to 61. Oria Meds advertises compounded GLP-1s from $149 and $249, then offers $199 and $369 once you reach the plan menu, and never names either molecule on a public page. Fidelity Medical Clinic still earns a C — Shoppers comfortable reading a tiered per-order price table rather than a flat subscription.
Worth knowing either way: our overall #1 pick is CoreAge Rx (Cost-Efficiency Index 94/100 — the top of the ranking). See how it stacks up: CoreAge Rx vs Oria Meds.

Oria Meds
62/100Where the value is
- Names its compounding pharmacy, PerfectRx, with a street address, phone number and website
- The monthly figure covers free shipping, a home injection kit, free dose increases and unlimited medical support, itemized on the plan card
- Names the provider network behind the prescriptions rather than referring only to licensed clinicians
The tradeoffs
- Neither published floor exists in the funnel: "starting at $149" and "starting at $249" appear nowhere in the plan menu, which offers $199 and $369
- The semaglutide ladder is inverted — one month is $199 while three and six months are both $209 a month, so committing longer costs more
Fidelity Medical Clinic
61/100Where the value is
- Full itemized pricing table published on-site for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, covering initial, step-up, and maintenance order tiers
- Flat pricing includes consultation and shipping with 'no hidden fees' at each tier
- Real physical Tampa, FL clinic (400 N Ashley Dr Ste 1900) alongside the telehealth program, not a telehealth-only shell
The tradeoffs
- The '$99 a month' and '$349 for a 2-Month Supply' headlines are one-time starter-order prices, not recurring rates — the real ongoing monthly cost is $199 (semaglutide) and $349 (tirzepatide)
- No state-coverage list published anywhere on the site; whether telehealth reaches all 50 states or only a handful beyond Florida is unverifiable from the live pages
