About AskRx
The subscription buys a physician, not a drug: $99-149/mo, with medication invoiced separately. AskRx never dispenses, compounds or sells anything; it routes the script to a manufacturer pharmacy, NovoCare or LillyDirect, whichever the patient picks. Its board-certified physicians write nothing compounded, only FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s: Zepbound (tirzepatide), plus the Wegovy pen and pill (semaglutide). LegitScript approval and HIPAA compliance are claimed across all 50 states, and the subscription may qualify for HSA/FSA.
