Collective

#32 of 36
4.6/10

CollectiveOS is a membership telehealth platform operated by Health For Everyone Inc. It advertises compounded semaglutide at $59 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $69 a month, with the same medication price at every dose and no multi-month medication commitment. The required membership is free for 21 days and then costs $199 a year. That makes the first-year cash totals $907 for semaglutide and $1,027 for tirzepatide before any technology transaction fee that the terms permit but do not price. Membership includes clinician review, unlimited doctor messaging, nutrition and lifestyle support, and two-day express cold shipping. Collective links to LegitScript's public checker and identifies MDIntegrations as an example clinician network, but it does not publicly name a dispensing pharmacy or list the states it serves.
