Visit RNK HealthThe verdict
Oria Meds takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 62 to 59. 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. RNK Health still earns a C — Shoppers who want one all-in monthly price for a compounded GLP-1 and are fine confirming the exact price for their dose at checkout.

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
RNK Health
59/100Where the value is
- One monthly price covers the medication, the physician consultation and prescription, syringes and wipes, and shipping, with no separate membership or visit fee
- Month to month: you can cancel, pause or skip from your account, and it emails the upcoming amount 7 days before each renewal
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with NAD+, sermorelin, B12 and naltrexone available on the same account
The tradeoffs
- Both prices are "from" figures and the pages don't say what a higher dose costs, so confirm the price for your dose at checkout
- Fees are non-refundable once you submit the intake, unless a provider finds you ineligible or the medication arrives damaged or wrong
