Who Sprout Health may suit

Price-conscious shoppers who want a quick online intake and don't mind a subscription that bills every four weeks.

Where the value is

  • Prices are on the homepage before you start: $149 or $199 every four weeks, or $1,188 and $1,788 for a prepaid year
  • A licensed clinician reviews your intake, and most prescriptions reach the pharmacy within two business days
  • Sprout names its dispensing pharmacies, Foothills Pharmacy and Promise Pharmacy, in its terms
  • Prescribing runs through MD Integrations, an outside clinician network its terms name
  • Cancel before a provider has reviewed your intake and you get a full refund
  • You can delay or pause a shipment through the patient portal or by email, given five business days' notice
  • Billing frequency and how to cancel are shown before checkout, and a care team answers the phone on weekdays

The tradeoffs

  • Billing runs every four weeks, so the monthly plan is 13 charges a year, about $1,937 on semaglutide and $2,587 on tirzepatide
  • Cancel after a provider has reviewed your case and you lose a $50 review fee; once the prescription reaches the pharmacy, nothing is refunded
  • To avoid the next charge you must cancel at least 48 hours before the billing date
  • Plans renew automatically until you pause or cancel
  • If a medication is out of stock, Sprout ships it once stock returns rather than refunding the order
  • No medical director is named, so it's harder to see who oversees prescribing
  • Whether Sprout serves your state is confirmed only inside the intake
  • Injection only, with no oral or sublingual option

How Sprout's pricing works

Sprout sells two compounded injections, semaglutide and tirzepatide, at one price for every dose. The visit with a clinician, the medication and shipping are all inside that price. You choose between paying every four weeks or prepaying a year.

PlanSemaglutideTirzepatide
Every 4 weeks$149$199
12 months, prepaid$99/mo ($1,188 up front)$149/mo ($1,788 up front)

The $99 on the homepage is the prepaid-year figure. On the four-week plan you're billed 13 times a year, not 12, so a year of semaglutide comes to about $1,937. Plans renew on their own until you pause or cancel.

Considering Sprout Health?

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

Sprout Health pays us a commission if you start there. This does not change its Index score.

Who prescribes and who fills it

Sprout is not a pharmacy and doesn't employ the prescribers. Its terms name MD Integrations, a physician network, as the group whose clinicians review your intake. In 15 states, including New York, Illinois and Virginia, state law requires a live visit, and MD Integrations handles that.

Prescriptions go to one of two pharmacies Sprout names in its terms: Foothills Pharmacy or Promise Pharmacy. Most prescriptions reach the pharmacy within two business days, and orders usually ship within three to seven. Sprout doesn't name a medical director.

Sprout doesn't serve Alabama, Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi or North Dakota.

Refills and dose changes

Each refill needs a short check-in. After every rebill you get a new medical questionnaire, and the next shipment waits until you submit it and your clinician approves a new prescription. Your clinician decides any dose increase. If you've used a GLP-1 before and want to stay at a certain dose, say so before the first prescription is written.

You can message your clinician through the medical portal about side effects. The care team answers email and phone on weekdays, Mountain Time.

Canceling and refunds

What you get back depends on how far your order has gone:

  • Cancel before a provider reviews your intake and you get a full refund.
  • Cancel after the review but before the prescription is sent, and you get everything back except a $50 clinical review fee.
  • Once the prescription is at the pharmacy, that order isn't refundable.

To stop the next charge, cancel at least 48 hours before your billing date. To delay or pause a shipment, ask at least five business days before it ships. If you cancel a prepaid plan early, Sprout refunds the months that haven't shipped, at the per-month value of what you actually paid.

Things to check before you sign up

Budget for the four-week price unless you're sure you'll stay a full year. If your drug is out of stock, Sprout's policy is to ship it when stock returns rather than refund you, so a shortage can mean a gap in treatment. Report a damaged or wrong package within 24 hours of delivery, with photos, to get a replacement.
