  • Legal entity, headquarters, executive team, and medical director remain undisclosed
HealthRX's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • $99/mo compounded semaglutide on the 12-month plan, with a $133/mo 3-month option
  • Flat pricing across doses, clinician review, dose adjustments, and overnight shipping included
  • Independent US-licensed clinicians in all 50 states, with the homepage saying a board-certified physician reviews your file within 24 hours

  • Publishes an email cancellation route and refund eligibility for unshipped doses, subject to the processing and dispensing conditions
  • Published HIPAA notice, telehealth consent, safety information, and emergency instructions

More to watch for

  • The historical 4.8/5 from 12,000+ members display used illustrative composite stories, not independent review evidence; that block was not reproduced in the October 8 check
  • Cash-pay only, with no insurance billing or prior-authorization support

PeterMD

  • The excluded states differ by page: the GLP1 plus B12 program lists AL, ID, AK and HI, the tirzepatide page lists only AL and ID, and the intake form asks about Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho and Hawaii. Confirm your own state during signup before planning around PeterMD.
  • BBB opened PeterMD's file on July 28, 2026 and lists 22 complaints in the last three years, 12 of them in the last 12 months (checked October 16, 2026). Read them before you pay; a BBB grade measures complaint handling, not the quality of medical care.
PeterMD's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • The tirzepatide plus B12 program is one price for any dose, $209/mo, and the page says it does not go up as you titrate
  • B12 is listed as an added ingredient in the GLP1 + B12 program
  • Video consultations with physicians included, real face-to-face medical oversight
