ZipHealth runs both halves of the transaction itself: an online consultation writes the prescription, and its own US-licensed pharmacy in Delray Beach, Florida fills it. The weight-loss line is injectable and includes compounded liraglutide. Prescriptions can be issued the same day, then shipped overnight in unlabeled packaging. Three clinicians are named: board-certified physician Dr. Abhishek Patel (MD), Laurie Lowe Nelson (APRN), and pharmacy head Dr. Phillip Whitman (PharmD). LegitScript certifies it. A lowest-price guarantee is advertised and insurance is never needed.
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 4.5/10 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. 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%
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%
6.5/10Dispenses liraglutide, 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%
4.0/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. Its price appears only after the medical intake.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
5.5/10The price covers the medication and clinician visits.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

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 and clinician visits.
- 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.
- Confirm that ZipHealth serves your state before you start.
GLP-1 medications ZipHealth 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
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off ZipHealth'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
- The monthly price includes the medication and clinician visits
- 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
- 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
What ZipHealth charges
There is no standard monthly price to quote for ZipHealth, so you cannot compare it with other sellers until you have been through an intake and received a quote. When you get one, ask for the ongoing monthly figure and what it includes, not the first-month rate and not a program total divided by its length.
Safety and disclosure
Before you start an intake, ask ZipHealth which states it serves, which pharmacy fills its prescriptions and what the monthly price includes. We found no FDA warning letters issued to ZipHealth. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want to compare prices before spending time on an intake. There is no standard monthly price to compare.
- You need insurance to cover the cost. Check whether ZipHealth bills your plan before you start.
Our read
Whether ZipHealth is priced well is impossible to judge before an intake, because there is no standard price to compare. That does not rule it out, and plenty of legitimate sellers quote after intake, but it puts the comparison after you have spent the time, which is the wrong order for you as the buyer.
The Bottom Line
ZipHealth falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
