Neither a cash price nor a complete state list is spelled out publicly. What Hello Alpha, once called Alpha Medical, does spell out is a wide drug menu: Wegovy, Ozempic, Rybelsus, Zepbound and Mounjaro under their brand names, the oral GLP-1 Foundayo, and further oral weight-loss drugs beyond those. Insurance is part of the model, and an online membership carries ongoing clinician care.

How Hello Alpha scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Hello Alpha 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%
3.0/10The figures published here are not comparable monthly cash prices for the medication — an insured copay, a per-vial rate, a membership fee or a starting-dose teaser. Capped rather than scored against the register.
Effectiveness25%
9.0/10Dispenses semaglutide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
8.0/10On the seller's own pages, a price is published before the questionnaire starts.
Trust & Safety15%
6.5/10does not name a dispensing pharmacy; shows a price before asking for health information. Our verification confidence is medium.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10Publishes no list of states served, so coverage cannot be confirmed either way. Capped at the midpoint — this measures disclosure, not reach.
Support10%
4.0/10The price covers consult, shipping.
A seller that will not show a price before an intake loses points on Value and carries that note in its review. Withholding the number is itself a finding. How we score →

What signing up with Hello Alpha 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.
- 1Hello Alpha publishes a price on its own site before asking anything about you. You can compare it against this register without starting a questionnaire.
- 2The intake is a written questionnaire. No live video visit or baseline bloodwork is recorded as required.
- 3Hello Alpha 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.
- 4The monthly price is recorded as covering consult, shipping.
- No comparable monthly cash price for the medication is on record — either nothing is published, or what is published is a fee, an insured copay or a per-vial rate rather than a monthly cost.
- No state list is published, so whether Hello Alpha serves your state cannot be confirmed from its site.
Hello Alpha support, as documented
GLP-1 medications Hello Alpha offers
Each one has its own guide: how the molecule works, the dosing schedule, the side effects that show up in practice, and what the trials actually measured.
Pricing
Prices re-verified
$79/month Alpha Plus+ is the weight-loss membership and includes "4 online visits per month"; a $29/month tier includes 2 visits. Medication is billed through insurance or LillyDirect, not the membership.
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Hello Alpha'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
- 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 consult and shipping
- No FDA warning letter matched this operator when we searched our enforcement register
Against it
- Billed separately from the monthly figure: medication
- No state list is on record here, so whether it serves your state cannot be confirmed from this page
- No dispensing pharmacy is named in our record, so its accreditation cannot be looked up from here
What Hello Alpha charges
Hello Alpha does not publish a standing monthly price. That is a choice, and it means you cannot compare it against anything until you have gone through an intake and been quoted. When you get that quote, ask specifically for the ongoing monthly figure and what it includes — not the first-month rate, and not a program total divided by its length.
What Hello Alpha dispenses
Hello Alpha 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. These are FDA-approved brand-name products rather than compounded preparations, which is the more expensive route and the one where what is in the vial has been reviewed.
A needle-free oral option is genuinely uncommon and is the reason some readers will look at Hello Alpha at all. Set expectations on the evidence, though: the published weight-loss trials for these molecules used injections. Oral and sublingual delivery of peptides is far less studied, so treat it as a route that solves the needle problem rather than as a demonstrated equal to the shot.
What we could verify
Hello Alpha publishes little that can be checked from outside an intake. We searched the federal warning-letter record for this operator and came back with nothing. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price evidence is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need to compare prices before committing time to an intake — there is no published figure to compare.
- You need to bill insurance. Like most of this market, this is cash-pay.
It fits if
- injections are the thing keeping you from starting
Our read
We cannot tell you whether Hello Alpha is priced well, because it does not say. That is not automatically disqualifying — plenty of legitimate operators quote after intake — but it does mean the comparison has to happen after you have spent the time, which is the wrong order for the buyer. CoreAge Rx is the nearest comparison we track, and worth reading alongside this.
The Bottom Line
Hello Alpha's strongest column is the clinical side — which molecules it will prescribe, and how it handles dosing.
