The Index scorecard
Rivas Medical Weight Loss scored on our six Cost-Efficiency Index factors. See the methodology.
Where the value is
- Long-tenured, named physician (Dr. Paul Rivas, 30+ years) rather than an anonymous provider pool
- 15 physical clinic locations offer an in-person alternative to remote-only competitors
- States prescribing decisions are 'made during your visit -- not after a form review'
- Both weekly in-clinic and monthly telehealth options exist
The tradeoffs
- Telehealth footprint limited to just 3 states (MD, VA, FL)
- A $195 initial-visit fee is charged separately from the advertised monthly medication price
- In-clinic weekly pricing and telehealth monthly pricing are inconsistent and not reconciled on-site
- No named compounding pharmacy, no LegitScript badge found

- #315Tablet Health— Tablet Health is a LegitScript-certified DTC telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both oral-tablet and injectable form, priced from $179/mo (oral semaglutide) to $299/mo (injectable tirzepatide).57/100
- #316Alinwell— Alinwell markets compounded GLP-1s to women from $149 a month, but that figure is a first-month discount: the standing rates are $249 for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide, and neither appears until checkout.57/100
- #317Magnolia Regenerative Medicine— Magnolia Regenerative Medicine charges $119 a month for compounded semaglutide and $199 for tirzepatide once you reach the intake, advertises $99 and $179 that are really three-month prepay rates, and publishes a cancellation address that cannot receive mail.57/100
- #318Luvo Health— Publishes its entire 156-row price list before you touch an intake — then bills every one of those prices every four weeks, not every month, so a "year" here is thirteen charges rather than twelve.54/100
- #319WellMedr— Names its pharmacy, its clinician network and the FDA's compounding caveat right on the pricing page — then advertises two different "for life" rates on two live landers, quotes neither plan month-to-month, and bills on a cycle its own pages describe as four weeks in one place and 21 days in another.54/100
- #320ARSYNL Rx— ARSYNL Rx is a veteran-founded (Arron Glysch) telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide ($233/mo) and tirzepatide, either as a standard injectable ($233/mo) or a needle-free HypoSpray with six dose protocols (from $256.33/mo).56/100
