What to watch for with Found and SkinnyRx

Found

  • The $169 cash and $99 insured starting rates require a 12-month plan paid upfront. Found states 28-day billing cycles; confirm the cycle count and total. Shorter-plan rates are $289 cash or $199 insured per cycle
  • The insurance route adds steps compared with flat cash-pay platforms, and the copay Found quotes at around $30 for most members is charged on top of the plan price, not instead of it
Found's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Active insurance coordination, Found contacts your insurer and reports which GLP-1s are covered, prior auth requirements, and estimated copay
  • A catalogue of compounded and brand-name options, including Wegovy, Zepbound and the Wegovy pill; prescribing depends on eligibility
  • Cash and insurance plan prices include compounded medication; insured visits can add a plan-dependent copay
  • Found says most eligible members can start within a week of completing the assessment; timing is not guaranteed

More to watch for

  • Medication availability can change. A switch to a brand-name option depends on the clinician's decision, access, insurance coverage and cost; it is not guaranteed

States
Not confirmed: Found lists 41 states where it accepts insurance but does not list states for cash plans, and says prescriptions are not available in all states. Confirm your state during sign-up.
Cancellation
Found recommends cancelling or pausing at least 48 hours before renewal. Renewal payments are non-refundable, as are medications and lab kits once dispensed or shipped. Initial membership refunds have separate conditions; confirm which terms apply to your plan before paying.

SkinnyRx

  • Every advertised price is a first month rate and SkinnyRx does not publish what month two costs. Its terms say the renewal rate is described at checkout, and that discounts may be reversed if you cancel before the end of a promotional or committed term.
  • SkinnyRx names its medical director, Sajad Zalzala, M.D., and names AyaRx as the telemedicine partner behind its medical services, but it does not name the compounding pharmacy that fills prescriptions and it publishes no founders or executive team.
SkinnyRx's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Four product-specific options to discuss with a clinician: semaglutide or tirzepatide, each as an injection or a dissolving tablet
  • $99 for the first month on both the compounded semaglutide and the compounded tirzepatide injection, quoted on each product page, among the lowest entry rates in the compounded segment
  • Fast onboarding: a short online intake, a prescription within 24 hours where no video visit is required, and free overnight shipping on all orders with tracking within 2 business days
  • A public Trustpilot profile provides service feedback to read alongside the FDA record and the written billing terms; those reviews do not establish tablet effectiveness

More to watch for

  • Cash-pay only, does not bill commercial insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. HSA/FSA payments are accepted, which is the main way to soften the cost.
  • Independent reviews flag inconsistent customer-service responsiveness, a real consideration since titration support and dose adjustments run through chat
  • FDA warning letter #717989, issued February 20, 2026 to Lean Rx, Inc. dba SkinnyRx, cites misleading labels and website claims for compounded GLP-1s. It is a labeling/marketing record, not an unsafe-medication finding

Shipping

States
47 for compounded medications (its terms exclude Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi and bar residents of those states from ordering them); branded offerings may be available in all states
Cancellation
The September 22 terms allow renewal processing up to five days before the next period and require cancellation at least five days before the applicable renewal-processing date. They include non-refundable fees, return-before-refund conditions and possible reversal of promotional discounts. Product FAQs use simpler cancellation/refund wording. Ask support for the exact deadline, refund eligibility and any return requirement in writing before paying; canceling is not a guaranteed refund.

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.
