Read our full bmiMD review →About tru Weight Loss
A 3-month minimum applies, and after that you can cancel at will, at flat rates of 299 dollars per month for semaglutide and 399 dollars per month for tirzepatide. Behavioral and nutritionist coaching, delivery of the drug, a plan built for you, lab work and the telehealth consult are all absorbed by that fee. US-licensed compounding pharmacies ship the compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide. Neha Grover, MD directs truhealthnow out of a Germantown, Maryland clinic. FSA, HSA and insurance are all refused.

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
