Factor by factor
The six factors behind each Value Score. The orange bar marks the stronger side. See the methodology.
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
NuvaHealth
NuvaHealth (nuvahealth.org) is a LegitScript-certified compounded GLP-1 telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide starting at $159 first-month and compounded tirzepatide starting at $259 first-month.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript Certified seal displayed on the marketing site (the standard third-party telehealth/pharmacy accreditation)
- Free and fast delivery + 24/7 patient support disclosed on the home page
- Newark, DE address suggests a US-incorporated entity (vs offshore)
- $139 first-month price for compounded semaglutide injection is among the cheapest in the US compounded telehealth market
- $229 first-month price for compounded tirzepatide injection sits in the lower-median range
The fine print
- Standard ongoing monthly price NOT publicly disclosed (gated behind checkout) — patients should ask for the maintenance-dose price before committing
- Specific legal entity name + state of incorporation NOT publicly disclosed on the home page — material YMYL transparency gap
- Pharmacy partners NOT publicly named — material YMYL transparency gap
- Per-state availability NOT enumerated; verify your state ships before purchase
- Lab work + coaching support NOT publicly disclosed
