Billing is per vial, not a flat monthly subscription. A starting package costs $250 for semaglutide or $500 for tirzepatide and covers an 8-10 week supply; ongoing costs average $160/mo and $300/mo. Contour Health, trading as Desert Contour LLC, is based in Utah and names Strive Pharmacy, a 503A pharmacy, as its compounding partner for semaglutide and tirzepatide. Consultations are free. Named nurse practitioners and a board-certified medical director oversee care.
Is Contour Health legit?
Yes. Contour Health is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 6.5/10 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 Contour Health promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Contour Health. Its listed price is $160 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Contour Health discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Contour Health scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Contour 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%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
6.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
5.5/10The price covers the medication and 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 Contour 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.
- 1Contour 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.
- 2Ask Contour Health which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication and 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.
- Confirm that Contour Health serves your state before you start.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Contour Health's own checkout on 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 the medication and clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Contour Health
Against it
- 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
What Contour Health charges
The standing price at Contour Health is $160/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $160/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $300/month
Enhance MD, at about $169/month, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What Contour Health dispenses
Contour Health prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two best-evidenced weight-loss molecules currently on the market. What arrives is compounded at a licensed pharmacy, not an approved pen. That is the reason it costs less, and the reason the finished preparation carries no FDA review behind it.
Safety and disclosure
Contour Health tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Contour Health. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Contour Health will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Contour Health bills your plan before you start.
Our read
Contour Health charges $160/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes.
The Bottom Line
Contour Health's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
Before you pay Contour Health
Starting at $160 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Contour Health is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
