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and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost.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

Hone Health

Pros

  • +40+ biomarker lab panel included, the most comprehensive baseline testing of any GLP-1 telehealth provider
  • +Full health optimization platform covering hormones, longevity, and metabolic health beyond just weight loss
  • +Starts patients on gentler liraglutide before escalating, reduces first-week side effect severity
  • +Both compounded and potentially brand-name GLP-1 options available depending on clinical assessment

Cons

  • Layered pricing: $65 initial consult + $149/mo membership + medication cost = $300-650/mo total, one of the most expensive options
  • Select state availability, not available nationwide, and coverage varies by specific treatment program
  • The $149/mo membership fee is required even before you can purchase any medication

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  • Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared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
