The Index scorecard
PauseRX scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is

- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- Corporate legal entity disclosed (PauseRX, Inc.) — uncommon for direct-to-consumer GLP-1 platforms
- Flat $199 'all doses' compounded semaglutide pricing — no per-tier escalation
The tradeoffs
- States served not listed — site claims nationwide, but you must contact support to confirm availability

- No named medical director (Beluga Health is the network, not a named MD)
- LegitScript certification number not shown — badge only, so no direct lookup
- Insurance not accepted — cash-pay only; HSA/FSA eligibility not confirmed
