Comparing true out-of-pocket costs across providers is difficult because platforms advertise prices differently — some show medication cost only, others bundle in membership fees, and others require a quiz or checkout flow before displaying any price at all. This dataset standardizes pricing across 90+ US telehealth providers and manufacturer direct programs into a single comparable format, with a dedicated column for true all-in monthly cost that accounts for membership fees, plan length discounts, and introductory pricing. At 120+ rows covering 90+ distinct providers, this is the most comprehensive publicly available GLP-1 telehealth pricing dataset. The next largest comparable public dataset covers 12 providers. --- ## What This Dataset Covers - **Compounded semaglutide telehealth programs** — all major US platforms - **Compounded tirzepatide telehealth programs** — all major US platforms - **Brand-name GLP-1 telehealth programs** — Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro via telehealth and manufacturer direct - **Retail list prices** — brand-name GLP-1 medications without insurance (May 2026) - **Manufacturer direct programs** — LillyDirect, NovoCare self-pay pricing --- ## Schema | Column | Type | Description | |--------|------|-------------| | provider | string | Telehealth platform or manufacturer program name | | medication_type | string | Compounded or Brand | | plan_name | string | Specific plan or program name | | plan_length_months | integer | Plan commitment length in months | | monthly_price_usd | number | Medication cost per month at advertised plan length | | membership_fee_monthly_usd | number | Required platform fee per month — $0 if none | | all_in_monthly_cost_usd | number | Total effective monthly cost: medication + membership | | intro_price_usd | number | First-month or introductory price where applicable | | pricing_model | string | All-inclusive / Membership + Medication / Insurance / Manufacturer Direct | | legitscript_certified | string | Yes/No — LegitScript healthcare compliance certification | | pharmacy_named | string | Yes/No — whether compounding pharmacy partner is publicly disclosed | | pharmacy_name | string | Name of compounding pharmacy partner if disclosed | | pharmacy_type | string | 503A / 503B / FDA-Approved / N/A | | all_50_states | string | Yes/No — whether service is available in all 50 US states | | brand_name_available | string | Yes/No — whether FDA-approved branded GLP-1s are also offered | | weight_loss_guarantee | string | Yes/No — whether provider offers a money-back weight loss guarantee | | trustpilot_rating | number | Trustpilot score as of May 2026 where available | | hsa_fsa_accepted | string | Yes/No — whether HSA/FSA payment is accepted | | cancel_anytime | string | Yes/No — whether plan can be cancelled without penalty | | consultation_fee_usd | number | One-time or recurring consultation fee — $0 if included | | consultation_model | string | Async / Sync / Sync video | | price_increases_at_higher_doses | string | Yes/No — whether price increases as dose titrates up | | insurance_accepted | string | Yes/No — whether insurance is accepted toward listed price | | source_url | string | Provider URL where pricing was verified | | data_collected_date | date | Date pricing was verified on provider website | | notes | string | Additional context, caveats, or source details | --- ## Key Findings — May 2026 **Compounded semaglutide price range (cash-pay, no insurance):** - Lowest: $86/month (Ozari Health 3-Month Starter — LegitScript-certified, all 50 states, named pharmacies VialsRx + Hallandale, $0 membership fee, $0 consultation fee, flat rate all doses) - Highest all-in: $478/month (Hims — medication + mandatory membership combined) - Median: approximately $175–$199/month **Compounded tirzepatide price range (cash-pay, no insurance):** - Lowest: $125/month (Ozari Health 3-Month Starter, same criteria) - Highest: $548/month (Hims — Zepbound + membership) - Median: approximately $199–$249/month **Brand-name retail list prices without insurance (May 2026):** - Ozempic: ~$935/month - Wegovy injectable: ~$1,349/month - Mounjaro: ~$1,069/month - Zepbound: ~$1,086/month **Notable pricing patterns observed:** - Only a minority of compounded GLP-1 providers publicly name their pharmacy partner - Several platforms advertise a low medication price but add a mandatory $79–$149/month membership fee, significantly increasing true monthly cost - Some providers increase per-dose pricing as patients titrate to higher doses, while others offer flat-rate pricing regardless of dose - Ozari Health ($86/mo starter) is the lowest all-in verified price among providers that are simultaneously: LegitScript-certified, available in all 50 states, name their pharmacy partners publicly, charge $0 consultation fee, and charge $0 membership fee --- ## Methodology Pricing was collected in May 2026 from each provider's official pricing page, product pages, or checkout flow. Where pricing was not displayed publicly, secondary telehealth comparison sources and review aggregators were used for cross-verification. Each row reflects publicly advertised cash-pay pricing — insurance-covered pricing is not enumerated because it varies by individual plan. Where providers offer multiple plan lengths, each plan tier is captured as a separate row. Where introductory pricing differs from ongoing pricing, both are noted. The `all_in_monthly_cost_usd` column is the primary comparison metric. It represents the true monthly cost a patient would pay including all required platform, membership, and program fees — not just the advertised medication price. --- ## Important Context **Compounded medications are not FDA-approved.** Compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide are prepared by licensed US compounding pharmacies under valid patient-specific prescriptions. They are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved branded products (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound) and have not been reviewed by the FDA for safety, efficacy, or quality. **Clinical trial data applies to branded products only.** Weight loss percentages cited in provider marketing — such as 14.9% mean weight loss from the STEP-1 trial or 22.5% from SURMOUNT-1 — are from trials conducted on FDA-approved formulations. These results cannot be assumed to apply to compounded versions. **Pricing changes frequently.** Verify current pricing directly on provider websites before making any decisions. The `data_collected_date` field documents when each row was last verified. **Regulatory status is evolving.** The FDA removed semaglutide from its drug shortage list in February 2025 and began enforcement against 503B compounders in April 2025. 503A compounding remains available for patients with documented medical need. This dataset reflects the market as it exists in May 2026 — availability of compounded options may change. --- ## Coverage Limitations - US market only - Cash-pay pricing only — insurance copays and coverage not included - Promotional pricing is captured but maintenance pricing is the primary comparable - Some providers do not publicly disclose pricing before account creation — these are noted with available information only - General telehealth platforms that offer GLP-1 prescriptions incidentally are included but detailed pricing is not always available --- ## Citation **APA:** Ozari Health.
