Ravia Health
44/100Where the value is
- Referral partner (Altro Health) is LegitScript-approved and serves all 50 states
- Founder is a named, credentialed clinician (DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC) for the core psychiatry practice
- Insurance accepted via Headway for the psychiatric side of care
The tradeoffs
- Ravia Health does not prescribe GLP-1s itself -- it's a referral to a separate company's platform
- Quarterly-billed 'discount' rate is a multi-month prepay commitment, not the true monthly price
RegenCen
44/100Where the value is
- 23 real in-person clinic locations across three states (MI, FL, SC), unusually large physical footprint for this category
- Named, credentialed clinical leadership: Dr. Gustav Lo, CMO/Founder with 30+ years of experience, and co-founder Courtney Lo, PA
- Offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide under one regenerative-medicine practice
The tradeoffs
- No pricing of any kind — not even a 'starting at' figure — is published anywhere on the site; a phone call or booked consultation is required just to learn the cost
- Coverage is effectively limited to Michigan, Florida, and one South Carolina location plus telehealth in only two of those states
