MEDGm

#53 of 53

2.7/10

MEDGm is a telehealth company selling compounded GLP-1 injections from $179/mo and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost. The compounded prices are readable before intake and the not-FDA-approved disclosure is prominent, which is more than several better-known programs manage. The gap is verification: no clinician, no pharmacy and no accreditation is named anywhere on the site or in its terms.

Pros & Cons Compared

Fridays

Pros

+One of the few platforms that bills insurance directly, can reduce out-of-pocket to $25-50/mo with coverage
+Includes 1-on-1 nutrition coaching and weekly check-ins, not just medication prescriptions
+Offers brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound and compounded options, switches based on insurance formulary
+Flexible plans: medication-only ($249/mo) or full coaching program ($299/mo)

Cons

−The coaching-heavy model adds complexity, three different plan tiers with different inclusions
−Without insurance, $249/mo for medication-only is above average for what you get clinically

MEDGm

Pros

+Compounded prices visible on the landing page without starting an intake
+Prominent, correctly-worded disclosure that compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved
+Cancel any time, with a published refund policy rather than a buried one
+Claims no accreditation it cannot support, which is rarer than it should be
+HSA/FSA accepted; free shipping stated

Cons

−No medical director, prescribing clinician or medical group is named anywhere
−No compounding pharmacy is named; the terms promise a partner list that the terms do not contain
−Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared
−No lab panel is offered or required at any tier
−The homepage claims 120,000+ patients on a domain registered 2026-04-08; we could not reconcile the two
−A prepaid contracted term is non-refundable, and dispensed medication is never refundable
−No third-party rating exists that we could locate and verify
