HealthRX

#29 of 36
5.2/10

HealthRX is a cash-pay telehealth platform for compounded injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide. Its pricing page publishes eight plans: semaglutide at $190 month to month, $133/mo on 3 months, $119/mo on 6 months and $99/mo on 12 months, and tirzepatide at $239, $209, $199 and $179 on the same terms. Prices stay flat across doses and include clinician review, dose adjustments and overnight shipping, and the site promises a full refund if a provider does not approve you. Prescriptions come from independent US-licensed clinicians, and neither a clinician network nor the dispensing 503A pharmacy is named on the site's about, how it works, FAQ or terms pages (rendered check 2026-09-03).

3.8/10

Hume Care is a prescribing-access program operated by Hume Health Care LLC, distinct from Hume’s device-only products. Its GLP-1Rx page advertises $199 monthly with medication if prescribed and care. The terms identify an independent clinical network and link to MDIntegrations. Specific pharmacy, dose-level prices and consistent clinical-leadership details remain unverified.
