Vea Health
54/100Where the value is
- Verified LegitScript certification with a working checker link (seal ID 48955268)
- Offers a genuine microdosing tier for both semaglutide and tirzepatide alongside the standard dose
- Repeats the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer on every page, and states 'Provider approval required. Not all patients qualify' rather than implying automatic approval
The tradeoffs
- Zero pricing is published anywhere on the public site — the entire catalog is gated behind the intake quiz
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere; the site only says 'domestic, pharmacy-grade suppliers' and 'FDA-registered, cGMP-certified facilities'
Form Health
53/100Where the value is
- Accepts major insurance including Medicare, Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United
- Physicians are American Board of Obesity Medicine certified
- Pairs every patient with a registered dietitian, not just a prescriber
The tradeoffs
- No cash-pay price disclosed anywhere -- cost is entirely insurance-dependent and opaque to the uninsured
- No compounded-medication option found, limiting access for patients priced out of branded drugs
