Billing is weekly rather than monthly, and the dose never changes it: $115/week for compounded semaglutide, $165/week for compounded tirzepatide, each week's figure paying for a provider visit as well as the drug. Paul Rivas MD LLC pairs telehealth with 15 physical clinics spread over Maryland, Virginia and Florida. Seeing a provider every week costs more than ordering by mail from competitors.
