About Form Health
Nothing compounded appears at Form Health. Three brand-name drugs do: Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy, priced the way a pharmacy normally prices them, with a physician overseeing.
Read our full Form Health 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.

Form Health
What we like
- The monthly price includes clinician visits and coaching
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Form Health
- 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
- 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: medication, lab work
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
