Read our full Henry Meds review →About Transcarent
An individual cannot look up what this costs, because nothing is sold to individuals. Transcarent builds Weight Health for health plans and for employers who self-insure, putting behavioral coaching, nutrition guidance, bariatric surgery navigation and GLP-1 medication management, where the drug is covered and clinically appropriate, onto a single platform. Doctors, nurses and pharmacists back the member. To hold down total cost of care the company points to contracts struck directly with pharma, a low-cost formulary and a PBM it calls transparent. Distribution is B2B2C.

Henry Meds
What we like
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits and shipping
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Henry Meds
Watch-outs
- Semaglutide costs $249 a month, 35% above the $185 median for compounded 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
- 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
