Who Apex MD may suit
Patients who want unlimited visits and labs bundled into a flat month-to-month price and don't mind the medication being combined with NAD/B-12/L-carnitine.
Where the value is
- Genuinely all-in flat pricing: 'no other fees' across all doses, with unlimited provider visits and Labcorp labs included
- No membership fee, no sign-up fee and no lab fee, stated plainly on the pricing page
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide, in injectable or daily-oral form
- Named CMO (Dr. Jim Bowen) overseeing a stated 1,000-physician network
- Medication delivery typically under 4 business days
The tradeoffs
- Not single-ingredient GLP-1 — every tier bundles NAD, B-12, and L-carnitine into the compound, so the $299/$399 price isn't directly comparable to a plain-semaglutide/tirzepatide competitor
- Compounding pharmacies are never named, only described generically as 'Legit Script Certified pharmacies'
- Among the highest per-drug prices of the compounded programs we track, though its formulas are bundled with NAD, B-12 and L-carnitine
- Its states-served page is broken, so confirm your state is covered before you start
One monthly price, labs included
Apex MD sells its GLP-1 program as an ongoing-care membership with the medication built in. Compounded semaglutide is $299 a month and compounded tirzepatide is $399 a month. Apex says the price covers every dose and is locked for as long as you stay, so it doesn't climb when your dose goes up.
There's no separate membership fee. The monthly price includes the medication with vitamin B12, quarterly bloodwork at any Labcorp or Quest, unlimited provider visits plus a direct messaging line, and shipping. If you'd rather do labs at home, Apex says that costs a small upcharge, without naming the amount.
At $299 and $399, these are higher monthly figures than a bare medication price. The difference is that labs and visits are already in them.
Considering Apex MD?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
What happens after checkout
You take a short GLP-1 questionnaire first. If you reach checkout, you've prequalified and can buy. A physician then reviews your intake before anything is processed or shipped.
After you pay, Apex emails a lab requisition and a link to its patient portal and app. You meet an Apex physician within 48 hours, and that's where your dose is set. From then on there's a scheduled physician review every quarter, and you can book more visits in between. Apex says it adjusts the dose to your labs and how you feel rather than following a fixed schedule. Medication ships cold and sealed straight from the pharmacy.
The extras around the medication
Much of what Apex sells is tracking. The portal pulls in lab results, body composition, progress photos and data from a wearable, and its AI assistant reads all of it. The plan also comes with a muscle-preservation nutrition and training guide and an "off-ramp" plan for when you stop. If you don't want an app watching your sleep and heart rate, that's a lot of program for the money.
If you're not approved, or want to stop
If the physician doesn't approve you after you've paid, Apex says your money is returned right away, or you can take a credit toward something else it sells. There's no long-term contract, and you can stop treatment with your provider at any time. If your provider switches you between semaglutide and tirzepatide, Apex's admin team adjusts the charge with your approval.
Things to ask before you buy
- Which pharmacy fills it. Apex says only that it uses LegitScript-certified pharmacies, and doesn't name them.
- What's in the vial. Its tirzepatide is listed with B12. Ask what else is added to your formula.
- Your state. Apex says it serves patients nationwide but doesn't list states, so confirm yours in the questionnaire.
- How to cancel. Apex doesn't publish a cancellation process, so ask how and when to stop the next charge.
