tru Weight Loss

Patients comfortable committing to 3 months upfront who want a named, credentialed physician rather than an anonymous provider network.

Reasons to consider it

  • Flat, clearly stated monthly pricing with no dose-tier increases
  • Named, credentialed medical director (Dr. Neha Grover, MD, obesity-management focus) rather than an anonymous network
  • Backed by an established local primary/urgent care practice, not a pure drop-ship telehealth startup

What to weigh up

  • Mandatory 3-month minimum commitment before cancellation is allowed -- roughly $900-$1,200 minimum spend
  • No insurance, HSA, or FSA accepted
  • Pharmacy partner not specifically named for the weight-loss program

MDLive

Patients who already use MDLIVE for primary care; it isn't built for comparing GLP-1 prices.

Reasons to consider it

  • Established virtual primary-care service through participating health plans
  • Can prescribe FDA-approved Wegovy and Zepbound when clinically appropriate
  • Medication can be sent to your preferred pharmacy

What to weigh up

  • GLP-1s require a Primary Care Routine Care visit; urgent care and wellness screenings do not qualify
  • Medication-specific cash prices are not published
  • GLP-1 prescribing is unavailable in certain states; confirm current eligibility
