CoreAge Rx review

By Alyssa Selinger, EditorPricing checked

CoreAge Rx in brief

CoreAge Rx, a featured partner here, sells compounded semaglutide starting at $99 per month and compounded tirzepatide starting at $149 per month, with the same price at every dose and no membership fee. It suits self-pay buyers who want a simple flat bill. The catch: it takes no insurance, names no pharmacy upfront, and prescription sales are final.

Our take on CoreAge Rx

CoreAge Rx keeps its weight-loss menu short: two compounded injections, semaglutide and tirzepatide, sold online after a medical questionnaire. Its own pages print "Starting at $99 per month" for semaglutide and "Starting at $149/mo" for tirzepatide, and the line it leans on hardest is that the price does not climb as your dose does. The FAQ puts it plainly: whatever price you lock in at checkout stays the same for future months, "regardless of dose increases." For anyone who has watched another program quote a low starter dose and then jump at the maintenance dose, that promise is the reason to look here.

What you get for the money is a prescription from a US board-certified physician, the medication and supplies, and free shipping by no-contact delivery, so nobody has to sign for the box. There is no membership fee layered on top, and the site says no insurance is needed because none is accepted. The compounded tirzepatide is typically mixed with vitamin B12; the FAQ says a version without it can be discussed during intake. Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and CoreAge does not offer brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound, so this is a cash-pay compounded program and nothing else.

The part to read slowly is money going back the other way. You pay at checkout, before a doctor looks at your case; the FAQ says that secures your price and your place in the pharmacy queue, with a refund if you are not approved. The separate refund policy is stricter: it describes a non-refundable consultation fee of $50 to $100, calls every prescription sale final once a provider approves it and sends it to the pharmacy, and makes any order non-refundable 30 days after purchase. Federal and state law also bar returning medication. None of that is unusual for telehealth, but it means the time to change your mind is before approval, not after the vial ships.

Pharmacy transparency is thin. The site says it uses trusted US compounding pharmacies but tells you to contact support to learn which one will fill your prescription. If knowing the pharmacy matters to you, ask before you pay.

Signing up, paying and canceling

What CoreAge Rx's own site shows a new patient.

  • Signup is a short medical questionnaire plus a photo ID and a selfie, which the FAQ says state rules require; a doctor responds within about 24 hours, and some states add a video visit or live chat before the prescription is final.
  • Payment is taken at checkout, before the doctor's review, and the medication itself is billed when it ships on the plan you picked.
  • Canceling happens inside your account, and the FAQ says you are contacted before a refill is billed; canceling stops future renewals but does not undo an order already processed.
  • Doctors are assigned by state, and the FAQ names California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont as states with specific physicians; service is US-only, with some therapies restricted by state.

CoreAge Rx: common questions

How much does CoreAge Rx cost?

CoreAge Rx lists compounded semaglutide starting at $99 per month and compounded tirzepatide starting at $149 per month. Its FAQ says all doses cost the same, so the bill does not rise as your dose increases, and there is no membership fee. Insurance is not accepted, so plan on paying cash or using an FSA or HSA card.

Does CoreAge Rx take insurance?

No. CoreAge Rx says plainly that it does not accept insurance and that no insurance is needed to order. It positions its cash price as competitive with what many people pay through insurance, and its tirzepatide page lists the program as FSA and HSA eligible.

Can you get a refund from CoreAge Rx?

Only before your prescription reaches the pharmacy. If a doctor finds you ineligible, the medication portion is refunded to your card. Once a provider approves the prescription and sends it to the pharmacy, the sale is final, any order becomes non-refundable 30 days after purchase, and the policy describes a non-refundable consultation fee of $50 to $100.

How long does CoreAge Rx take to approve you?

CoreAge Rx says a US doctor reviews your questionnaire and responds within about 24 hours. After approval the prescription goes to a partner pharmacy for processing and shipping, and timing varies by state because some states require a video visit or live chat before the prescription can be finalized.

The verdict

Best for: Anyone who wants transparent flat pricing and nationwide access without a teaser-rate bait-and-switch. The most honest middle of the market: nationwide access, both molecules at one flat, no-surprise price.
