Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: HealthRX is $99/mo equivalent; $1,188 upfront for 12 months; applicable taxes may add to the bill; PeterMD is from $149/mo.

Trade-offs
Strengths and cautions compared
HealthRX
Pros
- +$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
4 more documented strengths
- +Full refund if a provider does not approve you, stated on the homepage, the pricing page and the terms
- +Displays certificate 50087439 with a LegitScript checker link; current issuer confirmation was not resolved in the October 8 check
- +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
Cons
- −The dispensing 503A pharmacy is described by type while its name and license remain absent from the public site
- −Legal entity, headquarters, executive team, and medical director remain undisclosed
- −The $99/mo semaglutide headline requires $1,188 up front. The separate Subscribe and Save offer is $149 first month, then $165; the $190 table option is not the only monthly offer
3 more documented cautions
- −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
- −Compounded medications sit outside FDA premarket approval as finished products
PeterMD
Pros
- +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
Cons
- −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.
- −The September 3, 2026 review snapshot recorded billing and delivery complaints alongside a BBB F grade and no accreditation. The current complaint record and which reports concern GLP-1 treatment remain unconfirmed.
- −PeterMD began as a testosterone replacement therapy platform; GLP-1 is an expansion, not the original core. The included video consultations give you a direct read on the clinical team.
Our Verdict
The available assessments do not establish a score winner between HealthRX and PeterMD. Compare the medication, full cost, care and commitment that fit your needs. An incomplete assessment is not evidence of poor care. Published pricing is not a like-for-like monthly comparison: HealthRX is $99/mo equivalent; $1,188 upfront for 12 months; applicable taxes may add to the bill; PeterMD is from $149/mo.
