Ro

People who want FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound or a GLP-1 pill, help checking insurance coverage, and a membership that handles dose changes and side effects.

Reasons to consider it

  • Brand-name only: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo pill from $149 a month, the Wegovy pen from $199 and the Zepbound KwikPen from $299
  • Every medication price is published by dose before you sign up, so you can see what the higher doses cost
  • The first month of membership is $39, refunded if you aren't eligible for a GLP-1

What to weigh up

  • Two separate charges: medication is billed apart from the membership, so the Wegovy pen starts at $348 a month all-in on the monthly plan
  • The $199 Wegovy pen price covers only the 0.25 mg and 0.5 mg doses; from 1 mg it is $349, and Zepbound rises to $399 at 5 mg and $449 above that
  • No compounded option, so nothing here costs less than the brand-name cash prices

Medical Health Institute

Shoppers comparing across TRT, peptides, and weight loss under one provider who don't need public pricing detail up front.

Reasons to consider it

  • Advertises a competitively low $100/mo entry price for GLP-1 weight loss
  • Offers multiple service lines (weight loss, TRT, peptide therapy) under one provider
  • LegitScript and HIPAA-compliance badges both displayed on the homepage

What to weigh up

  • The $100/mo headline price carries the company's own asterisk — '*Based on pharmacy availability' — meaning it is explicitly not a guaranteed rate before intake
  • No dose tier or even which drug (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide) the $100 figure applies to is disclosed anywhere public
  • Claims 'Transparent pricing' and 'no surprise fees' while publishing no actual itemized price breakdown beyond the asterisked floor

Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. Understand the medication options.
