What to watch for with Fridays and Luvo Health

Fridays

  • The lowest advertised compounded prices require an annual commitment and a promo code
  • Compounded medication and virtual visits are cash-pay. Fridays offers insurance and prior-authorization support for brand-name medication, but coverage and your out-of-pocket cost depend on your plan.
Fridays' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Advertised annual-plan equivalents: semaglutide from $99/mo with FOREVER12; tirzepatide from $198/mo with FOREVER500. Confirm the prepaid invoice and eligibility
  • Bookable 1-on-1 dietitian calls and chat, plus group coaching; appointment frequency depends on the service
  • Sells brand-name Ozempic, Zepbound and Wegovy alongside compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with an insurance concierge that helps you pursue coverage for the brand-name option through your own plan
  • Signature medication plans include provider visits and coaching. Wegovy pill and pen offers charge membership separately from medication
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded)
  • Wegovy
  • Zepbound
  • Ozempic
  • Oral semaglutide (compounded microdose)
Insurance
Visits and compounded medication are cash-pay. Brand-name medication may be covered by your insurance; Fridays offers prior-authorization help. Coverage depends on your plan.
Consultation
Included
Shipping
Not confirmed; ask whether shipping is included in your selected plan
States
Katalys lists Louisiana as a restricted state for the Fridays partner program (verified 2026-09-08). Fridays does not publish a complete clinical service-area list; availability varies by service and must be confirmed during intake
Cancellation
Request cancellation at least 72 hours before the next billing date. Unused prepaid periods are generally non-refundable, subject to limited exceptions; dispensed medication is not normally refundable. Missed appointments or cancellations under 24 hours may incur a separate fee (terms checked October 8, 2026)

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
  • No medical director and no individual prescribing clinician is named; the terms name OpenLoop Healthcare Partners as a clinical partner, but not the clinician who would review your file
  • 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
  • Refunds close earlier than cancel any time suggests: cancellation needs 72 hours notice before the billing date, and once the prescription reaches the pharmacy no refund is available, which for a new patient with no video visit is the moment the intake is submitted
Medicines listed
  • Compounded semaglutide (injectable)
  • Compounded tirzepatide (injectable)
  • Compounded semaglutide (oral tablets)

Cancellation
Cancel any time, with requests due at least 72 hours before the next billing date. A refund for the current cycle is available only while the medication has not been ordered, and for a new patient with no required video visit that is the moment the intake is submitted. Clinical services are non-refundable once rendered.
