Steady State Health

Women in perimenopause or menopause in Oregon or Washington who want GLP-1 treatment folded into hormone and metabolic care.

Reasons to consider it

  • Care comes from one named clinician, Josie Cowburn, DNP, FNP-C, with a medical assistant between visits
  • Monthly provider visits and a weekly live Zoom Q&A are part of the membership
  • Offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, chosen with you based on your history, response and budget

What to weigh up

  • Only patients located in Oregon or Washington can enroll
  • Medication is billed separately from the $149 membership and runs about $110 to $150 a month
  • You need current metabolic labs; without them, the lab panel is a one-time $190

FormidableMD

Patients in its four covered states who want physician-led care and will confirm how long each prescription lasts before comparing costs.

Reasons to consider it

  • Publishes an actual dose-by-dose price table for both semaglutide and tirzepatide, rather than a single 'starting at' figure
  • Boutique physician-led practice with real brick-and-mortar roots, bundling labs, HRT/TRT and urgent care
  • FSA/HSA eligible for consultations and services

What to weigh up

  • The drug prices are per prescription, without a published supply length, so a reliable monthly medication cost is not available
  • Visits cost extra: $199 initially and $99 for follow-ups
  • No compounding pharmacy is named
