Frequently Asked Questions

Marek Health, at 7.8/10 and $299 a month, followed by Willow at 7.3. Vital Step scores 5.6. Our score weighs price, medication, trust and access together, so check the one that matters most to you in the table.
RxSpan MD, Marek Health and RestorLife Med, plus 1 more in the table. Vital Step says it does too.
Yes: RxSpan MD, Luvo Health and Elevated Health sell FDA-approved brand-name pens. Vital Step sells compounded medication, which costs less but has not been through FDA review.
Usually not. A new seller's clinician writes a fresh prescription after reading your history, and a compounded prescription is tied to the pharmacy that filled it. Before you switch, note the medication, the dose you reached and the pharmacy, and do not change your dose on your own while you move.
