Care Clinics
Cheap on both molecules — $100 sema, $133 tirz — from a LegitScript-certified pharmacy across 32 states.
Why it's a deal
- Low $100 semaglutide and a class-cheap $133 tirzepatide
- LegitScript-certified pharmacy
- Both molecules priced up front — no teaser step-up
The fine print
- Covers 32 states, not the full 50
- Compounded only — no brand-name or oral route
Genesis Health
Genesis Health is a telehealth platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections alongside brand-name Wegovy, Ozempic, and Zepbound.
Why it's a deal
- Annual plan as low as $99/mo for semaglutide or $125/mo for tirzepatide
- Offers both compounded and brand-name GLP-1s (Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound) in one platform
- Includes health coaching, active community, and free expedited shipping on every plan
- LegitScript certified; medications sourced from audited, licensed US compounding pharmacies
- Same-day provider visits, personalized dosing, and 24/7 care team messaging
The fine print
- States served not publicly listed; telehealth coverage unconfirmed for all states
- Monthly starting price ($175 sema / $235 tirz) is mid-market without annual commitment
- Labs not disclosed or included in any published plan tier
- Brand-name GLP-1 pricing not published; insurance or coupon required
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
