Precision Telemed
87/100Where the value is
- Both molecules disclosed at flat prices — $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide — easy to model for a year
- Nationwide all-50 coverage
- LegitScript-certified for verified oversight
The tradeoffs
- Compounded only — no brand or oral route
- Mid-market pricing, not the cheapest in the ranking
RxSpan MD
83/100Where the value is
- Every product and every term carries a published price, including the brand-name lane: Zepbound and Mounjaro at $1,069, Ozempic at $1,299 and Wegovy at $1,349
- Five routes on one account — injection, oral capsule, orally dissolving tablet, microdose injection and brand — which is the broadest formulary of anything ranked here
- A physician-founded program serving all 50 states
The tradeoffs
- The storefront renders no price at all without JavaScript: the catalog is reachable, but a reader with a blocked script sees nothing
- The figure a reader is most likely to meet elsewhere, around $194, is the twelve-month per-month rate; one month of the semaglutide injection is $249
