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and dissolvable tablets from $249/mo, with brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic offered as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost.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

Lemonaid Health

Pros

  • +2026 restructure, $49/mo Weight Loss Membership (replaces the old $25/visit model)
  • +6-month plan discount, compounded tirzepatide drops to $229/mo on a 6-month commitment
  • +Wide medication menu: compounded sema, compounded tirz, compounded microdoses ($199), brand-name Zepbound via LillyDirect ($299-449), and metformin
  • +Established since 2013 with physician-only prescribing and rigorous intake

Cons

  • Membership and medication billed separately, the $49/mo number is just the membership, not all-in
  • Brand-name Wegovy ($1,599) and Ozempic ($1,199) cash prices are high, read as access, not value
  • Best compounded pricing requires a 6-month commitment
  • The 23andMe acquisition created some uncertainty about the platform's long-term focus

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  • Brand-name Zepbound, Wegovy and Ozempic are priced as a membership plus an unpublished medication cost, so no brand total can be compared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