Royal Medical Center
61/100Where the value is
- Claims an all-inclusive bundled price covering labs, medication, physical, and MD consultation with no itemized add-ons, per its own homepage
- Real physical clinic address (Deerfield Beach, FL) rather than a purely virtual operation
- Dispenses through Belmar Pharma Solutions, a recognizable compounding pharmacy network
The tradeoffs
- The $67/mo figure's dose tier could not be verified — every deeper pricing/program page returned HTTP 403
- The named physician, 'Dr. Rodriguez,' has no full name, license number, or NPI published on the homepage
FORM
60/100Where the value is
- Both compounded AND branded (Wegovy/Zepbound) pathways on one account, plus NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione and a hair-loss line
- LegitScript and HIPAA-compliance badges both displayed
- Specific, named state exclusions (Alaska, Mississippi) rather than a vague coverage claim
The tradeoffs
- The advertised '$95/mo' Wegovy price is a MEMBERSHIP FEE ONLY — the drug itself is billed separately and its cost is not disclosed anywhere on the site
- No tirzepatide, Zepbound, NAD+, sermorelin, or hair-loss pricing published anywhere reachable
