Who CoreAge Rx may suit
Anyone who wants one flat monthly price they can plan a full year around, on either molecule, without signing a contract.
Where the value is
- One price at every dose: semaglutide is $99 from 0.25 mg up to 2.5 mg, and tirzepatide is $149 from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg
- No membership fee, no insurance needed and no long-term contract, and the price you lock in at checkout stays put as your dose rises
- If the doctor decides a prescription isn't right for you, CoreAge refunds the medication portion of your payment
- A U.S. board-certified doctor reviews your answers, usually within about 24 hours; a few states add a live chat or video visit
- Medication ships free by overnight cold shipping in as little as three to five business days, with no signature needed
- Ongoing provider messaging and a member community come with the plan, and the same account also offers NAD+, sermorelin and microdosing
- Treats patients nationwide, and names the two doctors it assigns in California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont
The tradeoffs
- Some programs we track publish lower semaglutide prices. Compare billing terms, dose pricing and required fees before choosing.
- You pay before the doctor reviews your case, and if you aren't approved the FAQ promises a 100% refund while the refund policy keeps a $50 to $100 consultation fee
- All sales are final once medication ships, because state and federal law don't allow medication returns
- The dispensing pharmacy isn't named on the site; you have to ask support which one fills your prescription
- Compounded tirzepatide usually comes with B12 added, so say so in your intake if you want it without
- Compounded only, with no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option and no insurance billing
What CoreAge Rx charges
CoreAge Rx prices its GLP-1s by molecule, not by dose. Compounded semaglutide is $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide is $149 a month, and neither figure moves as your dose goes up. Its FAQ says the price you lock in at checkout stays the same for future months.
There's no membership fee and no insurance billing. In most cases the doctor's review is included with the order, and shipping is free. The same account also sells NAD+, sermorelin and lower-dose "microdosing" GLP-1 plans, so you don't need a second login if you add one later.

How an order works
CoreAge takes payment at checkout, before a doctor sees your answers. It says that's to hold your price and put you in the pharmacy queue. After that you finish the medical intake, which asks for a photo ID and a picture of yourself.
A U.S. board-certified doctor usually replies within about 24 hours. Some states require a live chat or video visit first. If you live in California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island or Vermont, you'll be assigned one of the two doctors CoreAge names for those states.
The prescribing is done by independently owned medical groups that operate as MD Integrations. CoreAge runs the platform and coordinates your order. It says a complete order usually takes five to seven business days from purchase, and the box typically arrives two to three business days after the pharmacy ships it. No signature is needed.
Who fills it, and what's in the vial
CoreAge doesn't publish the names of its pharmacies. Its FAQ says the pharmacy depends on the medication you're prescribed, and support will tell you which one is filling yours if you call or email. You can't send the prescription to your own local pharmacy.
Its compounded tirzepatide is usually made with vitamin B12. If you'd rather not have it, note that in your intake. The provider can prescribe a different formulation when it's medically appropriate.
Refunds and canceling
CoreAge's FAQ says you get a 100% refund if the provider doesn't approve your prescription. Its separate refund policy is narrower. It says a provider consultation fee of $50 to $100 is kept once the medical review has started, even if you turn out not to be eligible. Ask support which one applies to your order before you pay.
Once your prescription has gone to the pharmacy, the order can't be refunded. Medication can't be returned after it ships, and every order becomes final 30 days after purchase. You can cancel future renewals from your account, as long as you do it before the next renewal is processed.
Before you sign up
- It's cash pay only. CoreAge doesn't take insurance, and it doesn't offer brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound.
- Ask which pharmacy will fill your prescription if that matters to you.
- Say in your intake if you want tirzepatide without B12.
- Treatment is for adults 18 and older.
