Precision Telemed
A LegitScript-certified, all-50-state program with an honest $149 / $199 flat price on both molecules.
Why it's a deal
- LegitScript-certified and available in all 50 states
- Flat $149 semaglutide / $199 tirzepatide — no step-up
- Both molecules priced up front
The fine print
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — sub-$100 sema tiers exist
- No brand-name or oral option
Luma Health Co
Luma Health Co is a nurse-practitioner-led virtual weight-loss and wellness clinic founded by Tiffani McKnight, FNP-C.
Why it's a deal
- Transparent, competitive pricing published up front — compounded semaglutide from $120/mo, tirzepatide from $180/mo, retatrutide from $170/mo
- No subscription, monthly fee or membership — a direct-to-patient model where you pay per medication, and follow-up visits are free
- Free initial consults for first responders, law enforcement, military, nurses and teachers ($0), and $25 for other healthcare workers
- Founded and led by a named family nurse practitioner (Tiffani McKnight, FNP-C) licensed across 30 states/DC, with HIPAA-compliant virtual visits
- HSA/FSA funds and financing accepted, with itemized invoices for HSA/FSA submission
The fine print
- Offers compounded retatrutide (labeled "RTT/GLP-3"), an investigational triple agonist not FDA-approved — a higher-risk, less-studied option
- Compounded medications only — no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound or Ozempic — and compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-reviewed or approved
- No LegitScript certification shown and no compounding-pharmacy partner named, so the dispensing pharmacy can't be independently verified
- Small, newly established founder-led practice with a thin website and limited public track record or third-party reviews
- Medication prices are "starting at" and billed on top of a one-time consult fee, so the true first-month cost runs higher than the headline
