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 7.4/10 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 $100 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%
10.0/10It names the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information. It lists the states it serves.
Accessibility10%

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.
- 2Strive Pharmacy fills the prescriptions, and Contour Health names it publicly, which most sellers do not.
- 3The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits.
Price shown before you start
- 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.
- Contour Health serves 46 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from Contour 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.
Contour Health compounding-pharmacy partners
Contour Health names each pharmacy below as one that compounds or fills its prescriptions, in its own site, terms or filings. The quote under each one is the seller’s own wording.
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
- Serves 46 states
- Names Strive Pharmacy as the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Contour Health
Against it
- 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 $100/month. Some of Contour Health's plans are paid several months up front, so read the terms you agree to at checkout before you choose a longer one.
- Compounded semaglutide: $100/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $200/month
Oak, at about $100/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. The molecule can be the one in Ozempic and Wegovy; what differs is the formulation, the concentration and the dose ladder.
Safety and disclosure
Contour Health tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire, the 46 states it serves, and the pharmacy that fills its prescriptions. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Contour Health. Because the medication is compounded, the named pharmacy is the detail that matters most: its license is the one you can look up. 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.
Contour Health also sells NAD+, and a 2026 systematic review found no outcomes trials of injected NAD+ for anti-aging or wellness.
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 $100/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 scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on price. Its lowest price, $100 a month, is paid up front.

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 WellMedRx.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo + membership).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Eden.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to Contour Health sets more sellers in the same category beside Contour Health on price, states and what the price includes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Contour Health sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide by the vial, with no membership and no automatic refills. A semaglutide vial runs $250 to $600 and a tirzepatide vial $500 to $900, each lasting several weeks; the site's own calculator puts the monthly cost at $100 to $300 for semaglutide and $200 to $450 for tirzepatide, depending on dose. Desert Contour LLC of Utah runs it, and Strive Pharmacy fills the prescriptions in 46 states. We rate it 7.4/10 overall.
Contour Health starts at $100 a month. That number climbs with the dose, so treat it as a floor rather than the cost of a maintenance dose. The pricing table above lists every tier.
Contour Health names 46 states. Check that yours is on the list before you go any further.
Contour Health lists compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide.
Contour Health lists compounded GLP-1s only. A licensed compounding pharmacy prepares them: same active ingredient as the brand drug, lower cash price, and no FDA approval of the finished product. That last part is the one readers underestimate, and the review above says why.
Check whether Contour Health bills your insurance before you sign up. Compounded GLP-1s are rarely covered by insurance, so plan on paying the listed cash price.
Contour Health says the price covers medication and the clinician visit. The strip near the top of this review shows what is included and what is not.
You fill in an online intake, a licensed clinician decides whether a GLP-1 is appropriate, and if the answer is yes the medication ships to you. Contour Health runs that whole sequence on its own site.
We found no FDA warning letters issued to Contour Health. Before you buy, weigh these: 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. None of them rules Contour Health out, but each is worth settling before you pay.
Other sellers we cover include Oak, SnagRx, and Lttl. Which one fits depends on the medication, the monthly price you can sustain and whether it ships to your state, so compare those three facts before you switch.
