Head-to-head · Cost-Efficiency Index
QuickMD vs Genesis Health
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.
QuickMD
Cost-first shoppers who want same-day access to a doctor visit for a brand-name GLP-1 prescription, if you already know medication cost is billed separately.
Visit QuickMDGenesis Health
Shoppers comparing multi-category telehealth (weight loss + sexual health + anti-aging) willing to prepay or finance to unlock the lowest listed rate.
Visit Genesis HealthThe verdict
QuickMD takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 44 to 43. QuickMD is a high-volume telemedicine platform (its own marketing cites over 1 million completed visits) charging a flat $99 same-day consultation fee for a weight-management visit that may result in a prescription for a brand-name GLP-1 (Mounjaro, Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound, Rybelsus). Genesis Health still earns a C — Shoppers comparing multi-category telehealth (weight loss + sexual health + anti-aging) willing to prepay or finance to unlock the lowest listed rate.
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 QuickMD.

QuickMD
44/100Where the value is
- Same-day, described as 365-day-a-year visit availability
- Flat, published $99 consultation fee — more upfront than many competitors' 'complete the intake to see any number' model
- Prescribes brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro) rather than only compounded alternatives
The tradeoffs
- The $99 headline is a visit/consultation fee only — the dedicated weight-loss pricing page renders as a non-crawlable image, so the real all-in monthly cost could not be confirmed
- Not available in Louisiana for weight-loss consultations
Genesis Health
43/100Where the value is
- Offers both compounded and FDA-approved branded GLP-1 options (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound) in one place
- Buy-now-pay-later financing available for those who can't pay a lump sum upfront
- Multi-category platform (weight loss, sexual health, anti-aging) for one-stop telehealth shopping
The tradeoffs
- Headline '$176/mo' price is explicitly a 2-month-prepay-or-financed rate, not a real month-to-month price
- No medical director, compounding pharmacy, or state-coverage list disclosed
