Read our full Bloom MD review →About NowPatient
Nothing is charged for the consultation at NowPatient; the medication is the whole bill. Because the out-of-pocket cost tracks brand list prices, an uninsured patient faces roughly $1,000-$1,350/mo. Access is to brand-name GLP-1s for weight management: Saxenda is on the menu, so is Mounjaro, and Wegovy comes as an injection and as an oral tablet. The company spans the US and UK, HQ Austin, TX.

Bloom MD
What we like
- Tirzepatide costs $245 a month, close to the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Bloom MD
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $295 a month, 59% above the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- 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 liraglutide, semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
NowPatient
What we like
- Tirzepatide costs $1069 a month, 14% below the $1249 median for brand-name tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to NowPatient
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $1349 a month, 35% above the $997 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- 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
