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.

Concierge MD LA
What we like
- Semaglutide costs $199 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Concierge MD LA
Watch-outs
- Tirzepatide costs $299 a month, 20% above the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: lab work
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
- Its menu lists retatrutide, which FDA says cannot be used in compounding under federal law and has not been found safe and effective for any condition
