How Maves prices its GLP-1s
Maves sells compounded semaglutide for $189 in the first month, then $249 monthly. Compounded tirzepatide costs $249 in the first month, then $349 monthly. The discounts are different: $60 off the first semaglutide month and $100 off the first tirzepatide month. Use the ongoing rate when comparing a longer course of care.
So budget with the regular monthly rate, not the first-month price. Maves describes its pricing as all-in: there's no membership fee, shipping is free, and the plan includes doctor-led care with 24/7 messaging. It doesn't take insurance, but HSA and FSA cards are eligible. You can cancel anytime.
Considering Maves?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
A men's health brand
Maves is pitched at men, and it frames weight loss as a "cut" phase within a broader fitness plan. It also markets bundles with sermorelin and NAD+, priced separately. Those marketing claims do not establish that adding a peptide will preserve muscle or improve weight-loss results. Discuss each proposed medication and its evidence with the prescriber. Your treatment may include vitamin B12 or other add-ons, depending on the formulation your clinician chooses. The same account sells sermorelin and NAD+ injections, priced separately.
Maves names Dr. Michael Green as chief medical officer and is operated by Homera Health. It isn't a pharmacy, and it doesn't name the licensed U.S. pharmacies that dispense its medication.
From questionnaire to delivery
You answer an online health questionnaire, and a licensed medical provider reviews it and, if appropriate, writes a personalized plan. Maves advertises same-day visits. Once prescribed, orders take two to three business days to process, with no shipping on weekends or holidays, and Homera Health's shipping policy puts average delivery at 4 to 12 business days. Tracking arrives by email once the order ships.
Prescription availability varies by state, so check yours in the questionnaire before you pay.
Returns and what to ask
Prescription products can't be returned, so every sale is final. If you think there's an error in how your prescription was filled, contact support right away. A package damaged in transit has to be claimed with the shipping carrier.
Its terms allow cancellation through your account, by email or by phone. Membership fees already paid are non-refundable. Confirm the deadline for stopping the next renewal and how that rule applies to an order approved but not yet shipped.
