CoreAge Rx

What we like

  • Flat, all-in monthly price with no intro-rate step-ups after month one
  • Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account
  • Available in all 50 states
  • Straightforward, low-friction cancellation

The caveats

  • Not the cheapest — flat-price challengers like Trimi Health and Alan Meds undercut its sticker price
  • No FDA-approved brand-name option (compounded only)
  • Does not yet publicly name its 503A/B pharmacy partner

FlyteHealth

What we like

  • Care led by board-certified obesity-medicine physicians
  • Multidisciplinary team with NPs, dietitians, and care coordinators
  • Published outcomes of about 13 to 16 percent weight loss over 12 months
  • High GLP-1 medication adherence (around 86 percent in reported data)
  • Comprehensive cardiometabolic care beyond GLP-1 alone

The caveats

  • Distributed primarily via employers, payers, and health plans, not direct cash-pay
  • Access is largely gated behind employer or plan sponsorship
  • GLP-1 is prescribed only when appropriate, not guaranteed
  • Self-pay pricing is not publicly listed (contact required)
  • Less suited to consumers wanting fast direct-to-door GLP-1
