NuvaHealth
Best for: seeing what it charges before you answer any medical questions
Visit NuvaHealth →If you are choosing between BeyondMD and NuvaHealth, price alone will not settle it. Both prescribe semaglutide and tirzepatide, so moving from one to the other would not change your drug. NuvaHealth leads our six-part score, 6.4 to 5.5.
BeyondMD vs NuvaHealth price
NuvaHealth only publishes an introductory price, $139 for the first month, and does not say what month two costs. BeyondMD lists $139 a month. Until NuvaHealth posts a standing rate, the two numbers are not a like-for-like comparison.
Drug by drug: Semaglutide costs the same at both, $139 a month; tirzepatide is cheaper at BeyondMD ($209 a month vs $229 for the first month).
Medications and formats
Both sell semaglutide and tirzepatide.
On format, BeyondMD prices compounded injections, while NuvaHealth prices compounded injections, an oral option and brand-name pens.
If you want the FDA-approved brand rather than a compounded version, NuvaHealth is the only one of the two with a brand-name price.

BeyondMD
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and coaching
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to BeyondMD
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- 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
