Who Rixa Health may suit

Patients who want injections or tablets at a published all-inclusive price, with a named physician lead.

Where the value is

  • Named medical director with stated credentials (Timothy Scott, D.O.)
  • Publishes every dose's price, and each covers medication, shipping and visits
  • Oral dissolving tablets as well as injections: semaglutide from $140 and tirzepatide from $225 per 30 days
  • Names its three partner pharmacies, with addresses
  • No minimum commitment: you can stop at any time

The tradeoffs

  • Prices are per 4 weeks, so you pay 13 times a year, not 12
  • The price rises with the dose: semaglutide goes from $195 to $310 and tirzepatide from $280 to $525 per 4 weeks
  • The pricing page still shows template placeholder text ('Your description goes here') under each dose

How Rixa Health prices its weight-loss plans

Rixa Health bundles the provider visit and the medication into one price per four weeks, and the price depends on your dose. It publishes a full price list by dose level for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, so you can see roughly where you'll land before you book. Expect the cost to climb as your provider moves you up: each step is a higher four-week price, and tirzepatide costs more than semaglutide at every level.

Two lines in the price list are worth reading closely. A couple of semaglutide levels are listed per five weeks rather than four, so compare them per week. And the fine print says the price includes the visit plus the pharmacy's cost of the medication, which ships to you directly from the compounding pharmacy rather than from Rixa.

Rixa also sells needle-free oral dissolving tablets of semaglutide (with B12) and tirzepatide, priced per 30 days or per 90 days. The 90-day packs cost less per month. HSA and FSA cards work, and new patients get $25 off their first visit.

Considering Rixa Health?

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

What the visit looks like

Rixa is a small clinic with named clinicians. Its medical lead is Timothy Scott, D.O., and the team includes nurse practitioner Mia Scott and physicians Shawn Stansbery, D.O., and Daniel Neumeyer, D.O. Each provider's booking page lists the states they're licensed in, so check that someone covers yours.

You book an appointment and fill in an intake form. If anything in it rules you out, Rixa tells you before the visit and doesn't charge you. Before your first visit you get a 30-minute video covering the program, the medications, side effects and diet. The visit itself is a live video appointment where the provider reviews your history and builds a plan with you.

Your card is charged only after the visit, once you've approved the plan and the price. There's no monthly membership fee and no contract.

Follow-ups and staying on track

Monthly follow-ups are required for the first six months. If you go 90 days without treatment, you'll need to fill in a new intake form to restart. Between refills, the four-week price covers any provider contact you need, by text or phone. Rixa also offers lab work, which some patients use to guide treatment.

Rixa lists its partner compounding pharmacies on its site. Ask your provider which one will fill your prescription.

Things to check first

  • A late-cancel or no-show fee applies to appointments. Ask the amount when you book.
  • Ask for the four-week price at both your starting dose and the dose you expect to reach.
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't FDA-approved.
  • Rixa doesn't offer brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound.
