Who Remote Pharmacy may suit
Patients who specifically don't want a monthly membership fee and are comfortable paying for medication alone.
Where the value is
- No subscription or membership fee: 'you only pay for your medication'
- Free doctor consultation and free shipping
- Names both of its pharmacies with full addresses
- Semaglutide as an injection or tablets, and tirzepatide as a sublingual
The tradeoffs
- Prices are 'as low as' figures, and higher doses cost more
- Its homepage still says 'as little as $287/month', which doesn't match the product prices
- Doesn't ship compounded semaglutide to Mississippi or New Mexico
- Does not accept insurance, HSA, HRA or FSA
Remote Pharmacy's GLP-1 prices
Remote Pharmacy charges only for medication. The doctor consultation and shipping are free, and there's no membership or subscription fee.
| Medication | Starting price |
|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide injection | $167/mo |
| Semaglutide tablets | $167/mo |
| Compounded tirzepatide (sublingual) | $229.99/mo |
| Tirzepatide tablets | $229.99/mo |
These are "as low as" prices. Remote Pharmacy says higher doses typically cost more, so ask what your dose will cost. Its homepage still says treatment starts at "as little as $287/month," which doesn't match the product prices. Check the total before you pay. It lists Ozempic and Wegovy as coming soon.
It doesn't accept insurance, HSA, HRA or FSA.
Considering Remote Pharmacy?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
How it works, and who fills it
You fill out a health questionnaire, then chat with a board-certified doctor through a secure portal. If medication is appropriate, it ships free and usually arrives three to five business days after it leaves the pharmacy. Your provider follows up after the first month, and each month you have a follow-up to discuss your dose and order a refill.
Remote Pharmacy names its two pharmacies: Emerald Compounding Pharmacy in Tampa, Florida, and The Pharmacy Hub in Miami. It doesn't ship compounded semaglutide to Mississippi or New Mexico.
Canceling and refunds
Some medications are paid for before your consultation. If you're not approved, you get an immediate refund. If you cancel before the doctor consultation, you get a full refund. After the consultation but before shipping, you're refunded minus a $30 doctor consultation fee. Once medication ships, there are no refunds or returns.
You can cancel your subscription at any time without a charge, and no further shipments go out.
