About Vida Health

Employers, health plans, PBMs and benefit platforms are the route in, so most people arrive through a benefit rather than a checkout; an individual track does exist. Vida's Medical Weight Loss program writes anti-obesity drugs, GLP-1s among them, and pairs them with behavioral-health coaching and medical management. The wider platform is built for chronic care and covers weight, chronic conditions, sleep, nutrition and lifestyle change, with the enterprise buyer front of mind.

Pros & Cons

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
