Who Harbor may suit

Price-conscious shoppers who want one compounded price that does not rise with the dose.

Where the value is

  • Semaglutide at $99 and tirzepatide at $149 a month on the homepage, with no price increase as the dose goes up
  • Explicit 'No Price Increases / Locked pricing' claim, addressing a common bait-and-switch risk
  • Its LegitScript badge is issued to Harbor's own site, not borrowed from a partner
  • Multiple named, pictured physicians, and it names its medical group, MD Integrations

The tradeoffs

  • The semaglutide page shows $89 semaglutide and $119 tirzepatide while the homepage and tirzepatide page say $99 and $149, and no page explains the difference
  • Compounded only, with no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound option
  • Compounding pharmacies are not named, only '503A and 503B certified pharmacies'
  • No itemized state-coverage list published
  • Once a prescription is written the payment is non-refundable, including unshipped months of a prepaid plan

What Harbor charges

Harbor advertises compounded semaglutide from $99 a month and compounded tirzepatide from $149 a month. It calls the two programs Steady and Accelerate. Harbor says the price stays flat as your dose goes up, and it charges no membership fee on top. The subscription covers the medication, physician consultations, check-ins, dose adjustments and dietitian support, and shipping is free by FedEx.

Those are "as low as" prices, and Harbor's terms explain why. Plans are billed monthly, or prepaid for a three-, six- or twelve-month term at a discount. Harbor doesn't publish the full price for each plan length, so look at the term attached to your quote at checkout before you pay. Harbor doesn't take insurance, but HSA and FSA cards work and pay-later options are offered.

Considering Harbor?

Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.

How treatment works

You take a short online quiz and health questionnaire, about 10 minutes, and pay at checkout. A licensed U.S. clinician then reviews it. Harbor's prescribers come through MD Integrations, a national physician network, and some states require a live audio or video visit before a prescription. Harbor pictures several physicians, among them Dr. Sheila Boyle, but doesn't name a medical director.

Medication is compounded by licensed 503A and 503B pharmacies in Harbor's network, which it doesn't name. On a full year, shipments go out about every 28 days, so a year is 13 boxes. You can message your physician through the portal at any hour. When you reach your goal, Harbor plans a supervised taper off the drug and offers a registered dietitian for nutrition support. Harbor Health Inc. also does business as Arbor, the name used in its legal documents.

Refunds are tied to the prescription

Harbor's refund rules turn on one moment, when your prescription is written:

  • Not approved by a clinician: full refund.
  • Cancel before the prescription is written: refund minus a $100 clinician consult fee.
  • After it's written: nothing is refundable, and on a prepaid plan that includes months that haven't shipped yet.

To stop a renewal, cancel before the renewal date. If it was already charged and the refill prescription hasn't been written, you get it back minus the $100 fee.

The 12-month guarantee, in full

Harbor's ads say "no results? no charge." The terms are narrower. To qualify you must be a new customer on a standard-dose compounded plan, stay enrolled for 12 straight months with no lapses, receive all 13 shipments, follow your dosing, and have used no weight-loss drugs in the prior 12 months. Your target weight can't require more than a 20% loss. You then file a claim within 35 days of your 13th shipment, verified by a provider or by a scale video. An approved claim refunds the subscription fees from that year.

Before you sign up

  • Ask what your monthly price is on the plan length you choose, not the "as low as" figure.
  • Don't prepay a long plan unless you're sure; unshipped months aren't refunded.
  • Harbor doesn't list the states it serves, so check yours in the quiz.
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved.
