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

Options Medical Weight Loss

What we like

  • LegitScript certified with clear, upfront program pricing
  • Compounded semaglutide (~$239) and tirzepatide (from $299), plus NAD+
  • Structured metabolic-health program with provider support and accountability
  • HSA/FSA eligible with flexible payment options

The caveats

  • Doesn't clearly publish which states its telehealth covers
  • Tirzepatide tiers climb to $339-$399/month
  • More program structure (and cost) than medication-only sellers
  • Compounded GLP-1 only online — no brand-name options noted
