Base1 Health is a Texas-only booking site for a physician-owned practice in Benbrook, Texas that offers blood testing and GLP-1 weight-loss care by video. The doctor reviews your blood work and meets you online before deciding whether to prescribe, and the site says it offers only FDA-approved GLP-1 medication. Weight-loss care starts at $99 for the doctor visit, the health and blood-work review and a treatment plan; medication is priced separately and its cost is not published.
Is Base1 Health legit?
Yes. Base1 Health is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. We rate it 4.6/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Base1 Health promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Base1 Health. Coupon sites advertising "Base1 Health discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Base1 Health scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Base1 Health has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
5.0/10The published price list names no GLP-1 we can match to a pivotal trial, so the medications on offer cannot be scored on evidence.
User Experience15%
7.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts. A live video visit is required, which is slower but the more careful intake. Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription.
Trust & Safety15%
7.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%
2.2/10Serves 1 of 50 states.
Support10%
2.5/10The price covers clinician visits.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with Base1 Health involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Base1 Health shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician and baseline bloodwork before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask Base1 Health which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 4The monthly price includes clinician visits.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Base1 Health serves 1 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.

Pricing
Prices re-verified
Homepage and FAQ: "It starts at $99, which includes your online doctor visit, a review of your health and blood work, and a treatment plan if appropriate. Medication is priced separately, and your full cost is confirmed before you start." A starting price, not stated as monthly; which FDA-approved GLP-1 and what it costs are not published.
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from Base1 Health's own website, as of the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Base1 Health
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
- Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription
Against it
- Not included in the monthly price: medication
- Serves one state only, so check that it is yours
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
What Base1 Health charges
Base1 Health publishes its visit fee before you sign up. The medication is not part of it: the pharmacy or your insurer bills for the drug separately, at its own price, so your monthly total depends on which medication is prescribed and how it is paid for. Ask for that figure before you commit. Before you pay, compare Base1 Health's cancellation terms with other sellers' cancellation and refund policies. Base1 Health is not alone in this: about a fifth of GLP-1 sellers publish no price at all.
Safety and disclosure
Base1 Health tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire and the 1 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Base1 Health. The FDA's warning signs for online medicine sellers are a quick check to run on any seller before you pay. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want one all-in monthly price. Base1 Health publishes its visit fee, but the medication is billed separately at its own price.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Base1 Health bills your plan before you start.
Our read
Base1 Health publishes its visit fee before sign-up, so you can weigh the care side before you share any health information. The full monthly cost is a different number: the medication is billed separately by the pharmacy or your insurer at its own price, so price that part before you commit.
The Bottom Line
Base1 Health scores highest on disclosure and lowest on availability, and it serves one state.

Where Base1 Health is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these two counts, another seller does better.
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider Embody.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Base1 Health sets more sellers in the same category beside Base1 Health on price, states and what the price includes.
