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.

Transcarent
What we like
- The monthly figure covers coaching
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- 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
Trimi Health
What we like
- Semaglutide at $99 a month, 48% below the $189 median for the same drug and form across this register
- Tirzepatide at $125 a month, 53% 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
- Names 2 dispensing pharmacies, which most sellers in this register do not do
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Watch-outs
- 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
Trimi Health takes it, 9.4 against 4.4, and it is especially strong on knowing which pharmacy fills the vial — it names VialsRx. Transcarent is no weak second and may fit you better on coaching bundled into the price rather than sold separately.
