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
Klinic
What we like
- LegitScript certified, licensed in all 50 states, DEA registered, HIPAA/SOC 2 Type II compliant
- Broad insurance acceptance including Medicare, Medicaid, BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, UHC, and Humana
- Klinic handles all prior authorization—patient never manages PA paperwork
- Brand-name FDA-approved GLP-1s (Wegovy, Zepbound) at full clinical doses with home delivery
- Named clinical leadership (CMO Dr. Saba Haq, Chief Physician Dr. Vivek Chander) and disclosed founder
The caveats
- Brand-name meds are costly self-pay: Wegovy ~$499/month, Zepbound ~$299/month (med cost alone; consult extra)
- No compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide option for patients seeking lower-cost alternatives
- Medication cost is separate from visit fees ($99 initial, $75 follow-up) — total self-pay cost is higher
- No labs or dedicated nutrition/coaching program included in any plan
- Pharmacy fulfillment via Klinic Pharmacy Hub Services LLC (non-dispensing hub); actual dispensing is third-party
