The checklist we used

Everything from guides A through F, condensed into fifteen minutes.

Educational content only. GLP1ABC is not a medical provider. Talk with a licensed clinician before starting, stopping, or changing any medication. Some links on this page are affiliate links; see our disclosure.

Three common ways people choose wrong

Choosing on the ad. The programs with the biggest advertising budgets are not necessarily the ones with the best clinicians. Ads are designed to get you to the checkout page; the checklist is designed to slow you down before it.

Choosing on the lowest monthly price. Guide C explains why the landing-page number is unreliable. A cheap program with a vial product, a three-month minimum, and slow support can cost more in money and risk than a mid-priced one with pens and responsive care.

Choosing on the molecule. Picking a program because it advertises tirzepatide, or the newest product, puts marketing before medicine. Let the clinician recommend the medication; choose the program on how it is run.

What to do in the first month with a program

Treat the first month as a trial of the program, not just the medication. Note how long the clinician review took, whether the pharmacy and shipping matched what you were told, how fast support responded, and whether the dose instructions were clear. If the program falls short on any of those, you are early enough to switch without much lost. Most programs allow cancellation at any time; if yours has a minimum term, that is a reason to weigh it more carefully before signing.

Scoring it

Count the checks. A program that misses on care or medication items should be off the list regardless of price. A program that passes those but is expensive is a trade-off you can make with open eyes. A program that is cheap and passes everything is rare, and worth confirming twice.

The full reviews

The programs below are ones GLP1ABC has an affiliate relationship with, meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up through our link. Inclusion means the program met the checklist above at the time we reviewed it. It does not mean it is right for you, and it does not mean programs we do not link to are worse. Verify current details on each program's own site.

Five programs are listed as of October 2026. Four are cash-pay programs built around compounded medication; Found also offers FDA-approved brand-name medication and is the one to check if you have insurance.

MEDGm

Reviewed September 2026. Cash-pay compounded program with a quiz-first funnel. Fits the "compounded, all-inclusive monthly price" situation.

Clinical careU.S.-licensed providers; 1:1 consultation, follow-ups every 12 weeks, dose adjustments, in-portal messaging. Name of the affiliated medical group is not published on the public site; ask before you pay.
MedicationCompounded semaglutide (weekly injection or daily tablets) and compounded tirzepatide (injection). Brand-name plans also offered with a separate membership fee plus medication cost. Compounded products are not FDA-approved (see guide B).
PharmacyPartner pharmacies referenced as named on the site; we could not confirm names or 503A/503B status from public pages. Ask, and look the pharmacy up on its state board site.
PriceStarting rate about $169/month for compounded injections and about $239/month for tablets, described as all-inclusive: consultation, follow-ups, refills, shipping, and anti-nausea medication when appropriate. Ongoing prices at higher doses are not published; find your maintenance-dose price before deciding. Brand-name plans: membership fee only, medication billed separately.
Promotions$120 off the first month on the monthly plan; standard pricing from month two. Six- and 12-month prepaid plans with buy-now-pay-later available. HSA/FSA eligible.
StatesNationwide except Louisiana (compounded GLP-1 for weight loss prohibited). Patients under 19 not eligible in Nebraska.
TermsCancellation and refund terms not published where we could find them; read the terms page at checkout and confirm the policy for prepaid plans if the clinician stops treatment.

Checklist resultPasses: brand vs. compounded disclosed, itemized all-in price, state coverage stated, follow-up structure, support channel. Not confirmed from public pages: medical group name, pharmacy name and type, cancellation terms. Ask those three before you pay.

HealthRX

Reviewed September 2026. Cash-pay compounded program with flat pricing that stays the same as your dose changes. Fits the "lowest predictable monthly cost, willing to prepay" situation.

Clinical careIndependent U.S. board-certified physician reviews every order; online health assessment first, no payment to start. No named medical director on the public site; ask which medical group employs the prescriber and where they are licensed.
MedicationCompounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, weekly injections. Compounded products are not FDA-approved (see guide B). Brand-name tiers offered as pass-through at manufacturer pricing.
PharmacyLicensed 503A compounding pharmacy, stated on the site; the pharmacy's name and license are not published. Ask for the name and check it on its state board site.
PriceSemaglutide: about $190 a month on a month-to-month plan, $133/month on the 3-month plan, $99/month on the 12-month plan (about $1,188 billed up front). Tirzepatide: about $209/month on the 3-month plan, $179/month on the 12-month plan. The plan price does not rise when the clinician increases your dose, which is unusual and worth confirming at checkout. Overnight cold shipping included.
StatesDescribed as available in all 50 states. Compounded GLP-1 rules differ by state, so confirm your state during the assessment.
TermsCancel anytime from your online account. Unshipped doses are refunded; medication already dispensed and shipped cannot be returned. Prepaid plans are cheaper but the shipped portion is not refundable, so read the refund terms before choosing 12 months.
CertificationDisplays LegitScript certification (certificate 50087439 on the site). Check the LegitScript registry directly before relying on it.
Checklist resultPasses: brand vs. compounded disclosed, pharmacy type stated, flat itemized price, cancellation terms published, refund policy for unshipped doses stated, all-state coverage stated. Not confirmed from public pages: medical group name and pharmacy name. Ask those two before you pay.

SnagRx

Reviewed September 2026. Lowest published prices of the three, flat at every dose, month-to-month with no contract. Fits the "cheapest compounded option with a named medical group" situation.

Clinical carePrescribers are from OpenLoop Health, a named medical group of U.S.-licensed clinicians. Online health qualifier, then provider review, typically within a day. Ongoing care through a patient portal: refill review, dose adjustments, new prescriptions on a rolling basis.
MedicationCompounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, weekly injections. Compounded products are not FDA-approved (see guide B). No brand-name option stated.
PharmacyU.S.-based 503A compounding pharmacies, stated on the offer; individual pharmacy names are not published. Ask which pharmacy fills yours and check it on its state board site.
PriceSemaglutide: about $99 a month on a month-to-month plan or $69/month on a 12-month plan. Tirzepatide: about $149 a month on a month-to-month plan or $119/month on a 12-month plan. Price covers medication, supplies, provider review, and shipping, and is described as fixed at every dose. No membership fee. Confirm at checkout whether the 12-month rate is billed up front.
StatesAvailable in 48 states. The two excluded states are not named on the offer; the qualifier will tell you if yours is one.
TermsNo contract; cancel month-to-month at any time. Full refund if the clinician does not approve a prescription. A weight-loss guarantee is advertised (refund after six months without significant loss, terms apply); read the conditions, since guarantees like this usually require documented check-ins and adherence.
ShippingNext-day UPS or FedEx in temperature-controlled packaging after approval.
CertificationStates LegitScript certification. Check the LegitScript registry directly before relying on it.
Checklist resultPasses: named medical group, pharmacy type stated, flat itemized price, no minimum term, refund-if-declined policy, cancellation terms stated, shipping stated.

Found

Reviewed October 2026. The longest-running program here (since 2019) and the only one built around insurance, now including Medicare. Fits the "I have insurance or Medicare and want to know if it covers a brand-name GLP-1" situation.

Clinical careFound-affiliated licensed providers, after a 10-to-15-minute online health assessment. Coaching, a behavior-change app, and a member community are part of the program. The affiliated medical group is not named on the public pages we reviewed; ask before you pay.
MedicationThe widest range of the programs here: brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy®, Zepbound®, and, off-label for weight, Ozempic® and Mounjaro®), compounded semaglutide as an injection or oral tablet, and non-GLP-1 oral medications. Compounded products are not FDA-approved (see guide B). Some medications are FDA-approved for other conditions and prescribed off-label.
PharmacyBrand-name prescriptions can go to a pharmacy where your insurance applies. Compounding pharmacies are not named on the public pages we reviewed; ask which one fills yours.
PriceFound states pricing starts at $99/month with or without insurance. Membership and medication are billed separately, and rates differ by plan length and by whether your insurance is in network, so your total depends on your plan. The membership is usually self-pay even when insurance covers the medication, and may be reimbursable through an HSA or FSA. Run Found's free insurance check, then add the membership to your copay or cash price for a real monthly total. Found now accepts Medicare and states that brand-name GLP-1s are $50/month for eligible Medicare members; confirm your eligibility in the assessment. The landing page we link to carries a $100-off promotion.
StatesInsurance participation varies by state, and compounded medication is not available in every state; the assessment tells you what applies where you live.
TermsRead the plan and offer terms at checkout for billing cycle, minimum term, and refunds; we could not confirm them from public pages.
Checklist resultPasses: brand vs. compounded disclosed, long operating history, a real insurance and Medicare pathway, structured follow-up and coaching. Not confirmed from public pages: medical group name, compounding pharmacy name, cancellation and refund terms. Ask those before you pay, and compare the membership-plus-medication total against the flat-price programs above.

Oak

Reviewed October 2026. Cash-pay program with plans from one to 12 months, included coaching, and detailed written cancellation terms. Fits the "start month to month, keep the option of a longer plan" situation.

Clinical careIndependent U.S.-based physicians and nurse practitioners review an online questionnaire; Oak says no video call is required. Coaching included. Oak is not itself a medical group, and the providers' medical group and licensing states are not published on the public pages we reviewed; ask before you pay.
MedicationCompounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide; Oak states brand-name GLP-1s are also available. Compounded products are not FDA-approved (see guide B).
PharmacyThe pharmacy's name and 503A/503B type are not published on the public pages we reviewed; ask before you pay.
PriceMain site lists about $190/month; the offer page we link to advertises plans from about $104/month on longer packages. Rates are not published by medication or dose, and Oak's terms say the fee may change with your dose, so ask for your maintenance-dose price. No membership fee; free shipping. Checked October 2026; confirm on the checkout page.
StatesDescribed as available in all 50 states; confirm yours in the questionnaire, and ask about a live visit if your state requires one.
TermsFull refund if not approved. Approved orders are final. Cancel anytime online or by email. Cancelling a multi-month plan early means paying back the discount on months received, except when a provider stops treatment for medical reasons.
Checklist resultPasses: compounded disclosed, no membership fee, refund if declined, published cancellation terms with a medical-stop protection, included coaching. Not confirmed from public pages: medical group, pharmacy name and type, prices by dose. Ask those before you pay.

How we review

We run each program through the checklist above using its public site, its terms and privacy pages, its support channel, and public license lookups for the pharmacy and medical group. We note the date we reviewed it. We do not receive free medication, and no program can pay to change what we write. When a program changes its pricing, pharmacy, or terms, we update or remove the listing.

Programs we do not link to

Any site that sells GLP-1 medication without a prescription, describes it as a "research peptide," ships from outside the United States without a US pharmacy license, or will not name its pharmacy or medical group. These are not telehealth programs and are outside what this site covers.

Before you sign up anywhere

  1. Read guide F and confirm none of the contraindications apply to you.
  2. Run the checklist on your top two programs.
  3. Do the five-minute cost check from guide C at your likely maintenance dose.
  4. Send each program a test support question.
  5. Tell your regular doctor what you are considering.

The point of all seven guides: the medication may be the same across programs; the care is not. Choose the program, not the price.
