What Collective and Luvo Health 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.

What to watch for with Collective and Luvo Health

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.

Luvo Health

  • The 50% starter discount lasts four weeks; the next delivery costs the full listed rate
  • Four-week billing means 13 billing cycles in 52 weeks, not 12 calendar-month payments. Longer prepaid plans have separate terms
Luvo Health's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Publishes separate first-cycle and renewal prices for three compounded GLP-1 plans, with clinician review, support and shipping included
  • Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
  • Published cancellation and refund terms explain the notice period and limits on prepaid-plan refunds
  • Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
  • Its terms describe prescription-transfer rights; ask which licensed pharmacy can fill the exact prescription and how a transfer affects the plan

More to watch for

  • The compounded-plan prices do not establish the cost of brand-name Ozempic or Zepbound; obtain a separate quote for those options
  • Luvo names Matthew Walvick as Medical Director, but the clinician assigned to review your file is not identified on the public pages we checked. Ask for their name and current state license before treatment
  • The terms name four compounding pharmacies and describe default assignment and transfer rights. Confirm the assigned pharmacy before payment; a transfer right does not guarantee that every pharmacy can dispense the prescribed formulation
  • Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
  • Cancellation deadlines differ: the refund policy says 72 hours before billing; the terms say 72 hours before renewal or renewal-processing, which may happen up to 2 days early. Refund eligibility ends when the prescription is issued and transmitted to the pharmacy; the policy only generally ties that point to intake submission without a required video visit
Medicines listed
  • Compounded semaglutide (injectable)
  • Compounded tirzepatide (injectable)
  • Compounded semaglutide (oral tablets)
  • Ozempic (brand-name)
  • Zepbound (brand-name)
  • Microdosed semaglutide (injection and tablets) and microdosed tirzepatide (injection)
Insurance

Consultation
Included in the listed compounded plans; no separate membership fee
Shipping
Free
States
All 50 states plus Washington D.C.; the terms note some services may be narrower
Cancellation
The refund policy requires 72 hours' notice before billing; the terms require 72 hours before renewal or renewal-processing and allow processing up to 2 days early. Confirm the actual cutoff and keep written cancellation confirmation. A current-cycle refund is only available before medication is ordered, defined as prescription issuance and transmission to the pharmacy. The policy generally places that point at intake submission for new patients without a required video visit, or completion of a required visit; for returning patients it is typically refill-intake submission. Medical disqualification before medication is ordered permits a full refund. Clinical services already rendered are non-refundable; prior cycles are not refunded.

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.
