About Hello Alpha
Neither a cash price nor a complete state list is spelled out publicly. What Hello Alpha, once called Alpha Medical, does spell out is a wide drug menu: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Zepbound and Mounjaro under their brand names, the oral GLP-1 Foundayo, and further oral weight-loss drugs beyond those. Insurance is part of the model, and an online membership carries ongoing clinician care.

Hello Alpha
What we like
- Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
- The monthly figure covers consult and shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: medication
- 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
Our Verdict
bmiMD takes it, 9.1 against 6.1, and it is especially strong on starting below a standard dose, with microdose tiers. Hello Alpha is no weak second and may fit you better on seeing what it charges before you answer any medical questions.
