ZipHealth is a Florida online pharmacy and telehealth service that now prescribes only brand-name GLP-1s: the Wegovy pill and Foundayo from $149, the Wegovy pen from $199 and Zepbound from $299, each plus a $79 clinical service fee per treatment. The brand drugs ship from Lilly and Novo Nordisk partner pharmacies. Prices rise with the dose, and the FAQ lists 19 states. It no longer sells compounded liraglutide.
Is ZipHealth legit?
Yes. ZipHealth is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 5.9/10 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 ZipHealth promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for ZipHealth. Its listed price is $149 a month for the medication, plus required fees. Coupon sites advertising "ZipHealth discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How ZipHealth scores
Six columns, each one computed from something ZipHealth 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%
5.0/10Every listed price sits far below the median for the same drug, which usually means a promotional rate or a fee rather than a standing monthly price. Held at the midpoint rather than rewarded.
Effectiveness25%
10.0/10Dispenses orforglipron, semaglutide and tirzepatide, including the FDA-approved product. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
3.0/10No price appears until the medical intake is finished.
Trust & Safety15%

What signing up with ZipHealth 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.
- 1ZipHealth shows a price only after you finish its medical questionnaire, so you cannot compare costs until you have shared health information.
- 2Ask ZipHealth 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.
- Lowest ongoing monthly price: semaglutide $199. That leaves out membership fees, first-month rates and insurance copays.
- ZipHealth serves 19 of 50 states, so check that yours is one of them.

Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here comes from ZipHealth'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.
In its favor
- Semaglutide costs $199 a month for the medication, plus required fees, 85% below the $1,299 median for brand-name semaglutide across the sellers we compare
- The monthly price includes the medication
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to ZipHealth
Against it
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits
- Serves only 19 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
What ZipHealth charges
ZipHealth charges $149/month for the medication, plus required fees. A membership is billed on top of the medication at ZipHealth, so read the terms you agree to at checkout before you pay.
- Wegovy pill: $149/month + fees
- Foundayo: $149/month + fees
- Wegovy pen: $199/month + fees
- Zepbound KwikPen: $299/month + fees
Found, at about $149/month + membership, is the closest like-for-like alternative we review.
What ZipHealth dispenses
ZipHealth 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. 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 pen has been reviewed. Brand names vs molecules sorts out which pen holds which drug. The Wegovy pill is priced by dose; what it costs each way you can pay compares the routes.
Safety and disclosure
ZipHealth tells you the 19 states it serves. We found no FDA warning letters issued to ZipHealth. 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.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether ZipHealth bills your plan before you start.
Our read
ZipHealth charges $149/month for the medication, plus required fees. 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
ZipHealth scores highest on the clinical side (which drugs it prescribes and how it doses) and lowest on ease of signing up, and it serves 19 states. It charges from $149 a month for the medication, plus required fees.
Before you pay ZipHealth
Starting at $149 a month for the medication, plus required fees. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where ZipHealth 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 the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider WellMedRx (from $49/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider Found.
- If your state is outside the area this one covers, consider YourEra.
If none of these fits, our guide to alternatives to ZipHealth sets more sellers in the same category beside ZipHealth on price, states and what the price includes.
