Fierce Health prices its GLP-1 programs at $197-$497/mo. It sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in both standard and microdose programs, a four-program ladder broader than peers selling only one or two SKUs, with the microdose tier among the lower entry points. A longevity catalog sits alongside it. Service is limited to 30 enumerated states, and the platform is LegitScript Certified.

How Fierce Health scores

Six columns, each one computed from something Fierce 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 it publishes nothing, that absence is what gets scored. Every seller in the register goes through the same six columns.

Value25%

4.7/10

$197/month is 4% above the register median of $189 for compounded semaglutide.

Effectiveness25%

10.0/10

Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).

User Experience15%

8.0/10

On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.

Trust & Safety15%

4.5/10

5 FDA warning letters on record; does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information; publishes its state list. Our verification confidence is medium.

Accessibility10%

Support10%

5.0/10

States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.

What we checked on Fierce Health

Last checked August 2026
  • Re-read the price on file across 4 dose or plan tiers
  • Checked state coverage: 30 states
  • Established what the monthly figure covers, and what it leaves out
  • Searched our FDA enforcement register for this operator

Price, availability, and compliance here are read off the seller's own pages and off primary regulatory records, named in the sources below. Editorial confidence in this data: medium.

What signing up with Fierce Health involves

Assembled from this seller’s entry in the register — the price record, the state list, the dispensing pharmacy where one is named, and what the monthly figure covers. It describes what a reader can expect to meet on the way to a prescription, and what is missing from the seller’s own disclosures. It is not a clinical judgment and not a prescribing decision.

  1. 1Fierce Health publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
  2. 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
  3. 3Fierce Health does not say which pharmacy dispenses the medication. That is common here and it means you cannot check the pharmacy's record before you buy.
  4. 4The monthly price is recorded as covering shipping.
Price shown before you start
  • Cheapest standing monthly prices on record: semaglutide $197, tirzepatide $297. Membership fees, first-month rates and insured copays are excluded from those figures.
  • Coverage is published for 30 of 50 states.
  • 5 FDA warning letters on record. The letter itself is linked in the enforcement section below — read what it alleges rather than the fact that it exists.
  • The medication is compounded, so it is not an FDA-approved product and has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality.

Every figure here was read off Fierce 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

  • Semaglutide at $197 a month, within the normal band around this register's $189 median for the same drug and form
  • Publishes a price on its own site before the medical questionnaire, so it can be compared without handing over health information
  • The monthly figure covers shipping

Against it

  • Coverage is published for 30 states only, so this may not reach you
  • No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
  • 5 FDA warning letters matched to this operator in our enforcement register — read what the letter alleges, since a letter discloses a problem rather than disqualifying a seller
  • 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 Fierce Health charges

Fierce Health lists $197/month. That sits above the middle of the market, which puts the burden on whatever else is in the package.

  • Compounded semaglutide — $297/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide — $497/month
  • Compounded semaglutide — $197/month
  • Compounded tirzepatide — $297/month

The median standing price across the GLP-1 providers we track is about $169/month, so this is a premium, and a premium has to buy something. Check what is bundled before accepting it.

Found dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $149/month, which makes it the honest comparison to run before committing here.

What Fierce Health dispenses

Fierce Health prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the two molecules with the largest published weight-loss trial programs behind them. The medication is compounded rather than dispensed as an approved pen. Compounding serves real clinical needs and is entirely lawful; what it is not is reviewed, and the cost difference reflects that.

What we could verify

On the record: it operates in 30 states and it dispenses through an accredited compounding pharmacy. FDA has sent this operator a warning letter, and we flag it at the top of the page. A letter is a disclosure, not a disqualification: read what it actually says before deciding what it means for you. Because the medication is compounded and no dispensing pharmacy is named publicly, the single most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. A seller that will not answer that has told you something. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.

Who should look elsewhere

  • You are optimizing for the twelve-month total rather than the first bill — a flat-rate seller such as CoreAge Rx will usually win that arithmetic.
  • You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Nothing here is the approved finished product.
  • You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
  • A regulatory record matters to you more than price does — read the warning letter flagged above before deciding.

Our read

Fierce Health costs more than the middle of this market. If the extras it charges for are ones you would actually use, that is a defensible trade. If not, the same molecule is available for less. Breeze Meds is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this. Whatever you decide, read the warning letter flagged at the top of this page first, and raise it with the clinician you would be prescribing through.

The Bottom Line

Fierce Health falls below our bar on medical oversight. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.

Where Fierce Health is the wrong choice

No seller in this register suits every reader, and saying otherwise would be the easiest way to sell one. On these four counts another entry does better.

  • If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Found.
  • If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Telos Rx (from $99/mo).
  • If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Oak.
