Hume Care

#35 of 36
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.

MEDGm

#31 of 36
4.7/10

MEDGm advertises compounded GLP-1 injections from $169 a month and dissolvable tablets from $239. Its injection entry price includes consultation, medication and delivery. Brand-name options use a different model: a membership fee plus medication charges. OpenLoop Health provides the clinical care, and MEDGm names four pharmacy partners. The key questions before paying are your prescribed formulation, ongoing price and cancellation deadline.
