Visit AMP HealthThe verdict
Whoosh Wellness takes it, leading the Cost-Efficiency Index 48 to 46. Whoosh Wellness is a compounded-GLP-1 telehealth service offering semaglutide and tirzepatide across a wide, dose- or duration-based price ladder ($149-$699/mo semaglutide, $199-$1,499/mo tirzepatide), with a LegitScript badge displayed. AMP Health still earns a C — Patients in the MD/VA/DC region wanting an NP-led hormone-and-weight-management practice.

Whoosh Wellness
48/100Where the value is
- Wide range of delivery formats (microdose injection, standard injection, tablets for tirzepatide)
- "Not charged unless prescribed" -- no upfront charge before physician review
- LegitScript badge displayed on the site
The tradeoffs
- Headline 'starting at' prices ($149/$199) are the cheapest of 6-8 tiers and not representative of likely maintenance-dose cost (up to $1,499/mo for tirzepatide)
- Pricing tiers aren't clearly labeled by mg dose, making true cost comparison difficult before signing up
AMP Health
46/100Where the value is
- Named founder and clinical lead (Amanda Peyronel, CRNP)
- Transparent, low consultation fee for the weight-management visit ($100)
- Offers injectable GLP-1s alongside broader hormone therapy
The tradeoffs
- No actual semaglutide/tirzepatide drug pricing published anywhere on the site
- Limited to three states (MD, VA, DC) rather than a national telehealth footprint
