Two names Healthicare puts in public that most of this segment keeps quiet: Beluga Health, its clinical partner, and Jungle Jim's Pharmacy of Fairfield, OH, which dispenses. Coverage on this GLP-1 telehealth platform reaches 44 states. Compounded semaglutide opens at $147.90/mo, compounded tirzepatide at $224.40/mo. One account also reaches the full brand menu, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic.
Is Healthicare legit?
Yes. Healthicare is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. 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 Healthicare promo or coupon code?
Healthicare has no code to type in. The current offer: $100 OFF your first month (Semaglutide oral drops $249.99 -> $149.99 first month); also 'Save 15%' on 3-month plans. It applies at checkout on its own. Coupon sites advertising a "Healthicare promo code" are not a source we can vouch for.

How Healthicare scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Healthicare 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%
5.4/10$174/month is 6% below the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. 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%
8.5/10The price covers the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching.

What signing up with Healthicare 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.
- 1Healthicare 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 Healthicare 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, clinician visits, shipping and coaching.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $174, tirzepatide $264. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- Confirm that Healthicare serves your state before you start.
- 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.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Healthicare'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 costs $174 a month, close to the $185 median for compounded semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- Tirzepatide costs $264 a month, close to the $250 median for compounded tirzepatide across the sellers we compare
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price stays the same as your dose goes up
- The monthly price includes the medication, clinician visits, shipping and coaching
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Healthicare
- Offers both oral and injectable options, so the format is your choice
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 Healthicare charges
The figure Healthicare leads with is $150, and it is a first-month rate. From month two the price is $174/month, which is the number to plan around. There is nothing wrong with an introductory offer; it just is not the price of staying on the medication.
- Compounded semaglutide: $174/month
- Compounded tirzepatide: $264/month
- Semaglutide: $150 first month, then $250/month
- Brand-name semaglutide: $1,200 first month, then $1,300/month
For compounded semaglutide, the median across the sellers we compare is $185/month, so Healthicare's $174 lands mid-market. Price is unlikely to be the deciding factor.
MyDrHank dispenses semaglutide and tirzepatide from $171/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Healthicare dispenses
Healthicare prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (approved as Zepbound and Mounjaro). Between them these are the pair carrying the strongest published outcome data. The choice is between an FDA-approved pen and a compounded preparation that costs less. Compounding is lawful and often appropriate, but a compounded product is not an approved one, and the price gap is largely that difference.
Safety and disclosure
Healthicare tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. It also offers coaching as part of the plan. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Healthicare. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Healthicare 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 would be choosing on the advertised figure. The introductory month is real, but it is not what you will pay in month three.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether Healthicare bills your plan before you start.
It fits if
- you want the price to stop moving as your dose climbs
- you want a cheap way to find out whether the medication suits you before committing
- you want coaching bundled in rather than billed on top
Our read
Healthicare is a cheap way to start and an ordinary way to continue. Use the $150 month for what it is good for, finding out whether the medication works for you, and re-run the numbers against $174/month before you let it renew twice. DudeMeds is the nearest comparison we review, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
Healthicare's strongest column is the clinical side: which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
