Shapely vs Remedy Meds

Insured patients in CA, FL, NY or TX who want help getting coverage for brand-name GLP-1s.

Reasons to consider it

• +Named, credentialed founder (Dr. Justin Zaghi, Harvard-trained, board-certified obesity medicine)
• +Genuine insurance-navigation service across 8 major payers, potentially large savings if covered
• +Both cash-pay compounded and insurance-covered branded pathways offered

What to weigh up

• −Live in only 4 states (CA, FL, NY, TX) despite a '50-state expansion' announcement
• −Separate membership fee stacks on top of medication cost, and its headline prices ($9 first month, $49/mo promo) are not the real ongoing rate ($99/mo)
• −Actual out-of-pocket cost for insured users is plan-dependent and not disclosed upfront

Shoppers who want one all-inclusive price at every dose and a brand-name route on the same account, and who don't mind finishing a health quiz before seeing what they'll pay.

Reasons to consider it

• +One price at every dose: $299 every four weeks for semaglutide and $399 for tirzepatide, covering the clinician visit, the prescription and shipping
• +Prepaying lowers the cost: three months of semaglutide is $747 and twelve months $2,148
• +Both compounded and brand-name (Ozempic $1,299, Zepbound $1,399 every four weeks) options, plus a microdose plan, in oral and injectable forms

What to weigh up

• −No price appears on its site until you have entered your height and weight in its quiz
• −Billing runs every four weeks, so a year is 13 charges rather than 12
• −No medical director or named compounding pharmacy disclosed

Regulatory note: the FDA issued a warning letter to Remedy Meds in September 2025. We still list and link to Remedy Meds; you should know the letter is on the public record before you decide.
