bmiMD
Sub-$100 semaglutide and a low $139 tirzepatide, flat and nationwide — a straight-up low-price play.
Why it's a deal
- $99 flat semaglutide and a low $139 tirzepatide
- Available in all 50 states
- Both molecules priced up front
The fine print
- Not LegitScript-certified — do your own pharmacy diligence
- Thin public track record; no oral or brand-name option
Aquivia Health
Aquivia Health is a clinician-led, self-pay telehealth platform offering compounded GLP-1 therapy with the option to step up to branded Ozempic or Zepbound — an unusual side-by-side most compounded…
Why it's a deal
- Clinical care provided by Open Loop Healthcare Partners, PC — a reused, verified MSO network
- Named leadership: Steven Bishop MD (CMO), Phillip Gray PharmD (Chief Pharmacist), Tom Foster (President)
- Itemized public pricing: compounded semaglutide $149/mo, tirzepatide $179/mo, Ozempic $1,299, Zepbound $1,399
- Both compounded and branded GLP-1s offered side by side — unusual for a compounded provider
- Self-pay model with no insurance required and no separate consultation fee
The fine print
- No public list of states served — you must complete intake to learn if your state qualifies
- No named 503A compounding pharmacy partner, limiting licensure verification
- No LegitScript, PCAB, or BBB trust badges visible
- Brand confusion: site schema names 'CatalystMD' while the customer-facing brand is Aquivia Health
- FDA has issued this company a warning letter; the letter is public in FDA's warning-letter database
