About Beluga Health

Consumers are not Beluga Health's customers; other companies are. The nationwide medical group, led by Dr. Jonah Mink, sits white-label behind direct-to-consumer health brands, furnishing the licensed-provider layer that makes their GLP-1 weight-loss lines work. Clinicians titrate compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, which independent pharmacies including CareGLP and Belmar then dispense. Being B2B infrastructure, it lists no consumer price. Reporting has named it among the nationwide groups linked to FDA scrutiny of how telehealth markets GLP-1s.

Pros & Cons

Beluga Health

What we like

  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register

Watch-outs

  • No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here

bmiMD

What we like

  • Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Tirzepatide at $139 a month, 48% below the $267 median for the same drug and form across this register
  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly price is recorded as flat across doses, so it does not climb as the dose is titrated up
  • The monthly figure covers medication, consult, shipping
  • Coverage is published for all 50 states
  • No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register

Watch-outs

  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
  • 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
