Which should you choose, Collective or Enhance MD?

Short answer: Collective and Enhance MD differ in what you pay, which medicines they list and their insurance terms, so the plans below decide it.

Collective is best for

Cash-pay patients planning to stay in treatment long enough for the low flat medication rate to offset the required annual membership.

Enhance MD is best for

Cash-pay shoppers who want the monthly price to stay flat as the dose goes up, and who will do a lab draw and a video visit to get it.

The available assessments do not establish a score winner, so choose by the medicine, total cost and care you need.

What Collective and Enhance MD plans cost

Collective

Very low month-to-month medication pricing that remains flat across doses, funded through a separately disclosed annual membership.

  • Collective Membership$199/yrRequired annual membership, free for the first 21 days and then $199 billed annually. It auto-renews unless cancelled.
  • Compounded Semaglutide$59$59 billed monthly for medication at any dose, plus required membership free for 21 days then $199/year. Twelve medication payments plus one membership: $907 before any technology transaction fee, which the terms do not price. Not a verified complete bill.
  • Compounded Tirzepatide$69$69 billed monthly for medication at any dose, plus required membership free for 21 days then $199/year. Twelve medication payments plus one membership: $1,027 before any technology transaction fee, which the terms do not price. Not a verified complete bill.
How Collective bills

$59/mo is compounded semaglutide medication only. Required membership is free for 21 days, then $199/year. Twelve medication payments plus one membership total $907 for semaglutide or $1,027 for tirzepatide at $69/mo, before any electronic-prescription technology fee the terms allow, which they do not price. These are medication-and-membership subtotals, not the complete bill.

We checked Collective's prices on October 17, 2026.

Enhance MD

A compounded GLP-1 program with published lab work and a scheduled video visit before prescribing. Core and Advanced are separate molecule options; Elite combines semaglutide and tirzepatide in one formulation. Four-week billing and prepaid 12-, 24- and 48-week plans are not calendar-month or calendar-year prices.

All 11 Enhance MD plans
How Enhance MD bills

$212 advertised four-week equivalent on the prepaid 48-week plan, not a calendar-year subscription; shortest plan is $249 billed every 4 weeks

What to watch for with Collective and Enhance MD

Collective

  • The $59 and $69 medication headlines exclude a required $199 annual membership after a 21-day trial
  • The terms permit a nominal technology transaction fee for each electronic prescription but publish no amount
Collective's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • $59/mo compounded semaglutide and $69/mo compounded tirzepatide, with the medication price advertised as flat at every dose
  • Medication is billed month to month rather than through a required multi-month medication prepayment
  • Two-day express cold shipping, clinician review, unlimited doctor messaging, and nutrition and lifestyle support are included
  • The public site links certificate 50716874 to LegitScript's verification checker
  • The legal entity and MDIntegrations clinician-network relationship are disclosed in the legal pages

More to watch for

  • No dispensing pharmacy, individual clinician or medical director is publicly named
  • Unavailable in Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi and Washington, according to its FAQ checked October 17, 2026; ask about Washington, D.C. coverage
  • The annual membership auto-renews and is generally non-refundable, with no partial-period refunds
  • Its long-term GLP-1 service record is not yet confirmed; customer reviews alone do not establish treatment quality
  • Cash-pay compounded medications only; no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound and no insurance or prior-authorization service
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded injection)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded injection)
Insurance
Cash-pay. Collective says medication and membership are HSA/FSA eligible; eligibility and reimbursement depend on the account and expense.
Consultation
Clinical review and unlimited doctor messaging are included in the required $199/year membership. The terms also allow a technology transaction fee for an electronic prescription without publishing its amount.
Shipping
Included; two-day express cold shipping is advertised
Prescribers
Independent US-licensed providers; the privacy policy identifies MDIntegrations and its independent medical-group network as an example clinical partner
Lab work
Not required
States
44 states: AK, AR, AZ, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WV, WY. Collective doesn't serve Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi or Washington, and you should ask about Washington, D.C. We built this list from the FAQ's six-state exclusion list, checked October 17, 2026; a clinician decides your eligibility at intake.
Cancellation
Cancel online before the 21-day trial ends to avoid the $199 annual charge. A paid membership continues through its current annual period and is generally non-refundable with no partial-period refund. Products and services are otherwise non-refundable except at CollectiveOS's discretion. If no prescription is issued, the medication order is cancelled and the medication is not charged.

Enhance MD

  • The $212 headline is a four-week equivalent on a prepaid 48-week plan, not a calendar-year price. The shortest plan costs $249 every four weeks on the GLP-1 Core pricing page (verified 2026-09-03)
  • Compounded only. Every GLP-1 product page states the formulation is not FDA-approved and is compounded under federal Section 503A guidelines, and no brand-name product is sold
Enhance MD's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Same price at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the monthly bill. GLP-1 Core is $212 per four-week equivalent on the prepaid 48-week plan and $249 every four weeks on the shortest plan (verified 2026-09-03)
  • The monthly price covers lab work, the video visit with a provider, medication from a partner pharmacy and 2-day shipping, with no separate consultation fee
  • Support is staffed seven days a week, Monday to Friday 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM EDT and Saturday to Sunday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EDT, by phone and email
  • Four compounded GLP-1 options including a capped 1 mg microdosing tirzepatide plan from $169 per four weeks on the 48-week plan, plus a full refund of the initial payment if a provider finds you ineligible during onboarding

More to watch for

  • Not nationwide. The FAQ lists 40 states plus DC and leaves out Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, South Carolina and Tennessee
  • Cash pay with no same-day start: a Quest Diagnostics blood draw and a scheduled video visit both come before a prescription, and no insurance option is shown on the site's pricing, FAQ or terms pages (rendered check 2026-09-03)
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded, sold as GLP-1 Core)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded, sold as GLP-1 Advanced)
  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide in one formulation (compounded, sold as GLP-1 Elite)
  • Tirzepatide, 1mg microdosing plan (compounded)
  • NAD+ injections (separate anti-aging product, not a GLP-1)
  • NAD+ wafers (separate anti-aging product, not a GLP-1)

States
40 states plus DC: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, DE, FL, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MT, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SD, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY. Not available in AL, AR, GA, HI, LA, MO, MS, ND, SC, TN. The FAQ says the company is licensed in all 50 states but that it is launching in the listed states only (verified 2026-09-03)
Cancellation
The FAQ says you can pause or cancel your subscription at any time by contacting support, and that membership otherwise renews every 28 days. The 3, 6 and 12-month plans bill every 12, 24 and 48 weeks rather than monthly. Prescription products cannot be returned, and the only refund promised is 100% of the initial payment if a provider finds you ineligible during onboarding (verified 2026-09-03)

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
