The Value Score card
LifeMD scored on our six published factors. See the methodology.
Why it's a deal
- Brand-name FDA-approved medication only, rather than compounded - a different regulatory footing from most of this list
- A 50-state medical group and a nationwide mail-order pharmacy network, both operated rather than brokered
- Publicly traded, so its financials and disclosures are a matter of public record - unusual in this category
- Will work with insurance where a plan covers the medication
Read the fine print
- A $149 monthly program and provider fee is charged on top of the medication, discounted to $39 only for the first month
- Brand-name only, so there is no lower-cost compounded route on the same account
- The advertised medication price and the fee are presented separately, so the real monthly cost is the sum of two numbers shown in different places
- Brand-name pricing puts this among the most expensive routes tracked here even before the fee
The bottom line
Best for: Someone who wants FDA-approved brand-name medication and will count the program fee as part of the price. LifeMD is a publicly traded telehealth company with a 50-state medical group and its own mail-order pharmacy network, prescribing brand-name GLP-1s rather than compounded ones and billing a separate monthly program fee alongside the drug.
