Compounded Semaglutide (injectable)

PlushCare

+Low $19.99/mo membership with first month free, and insurance-eligible visits as low as a $30 copay
+Accepts major insurance plans (Aetna, Cigna, Humana), broader than most single-purpose GLP-1 telehealth startups
+Physician-led primary care model covers ongoing and chronic care beyond a single weight-loss funnel
−Branded GLP-1 medication (Zepbound, Wegovy) is billed separately at the pharmacy — without insurance coverage this can run roughly $1,000+/month, dwarfing the low membership fee
−No compounded GLP-1 option, so cash-pay patients without drug coverage face full retail brand pricing
−Trustpilot pattern of unexpected recurring membership charges and difficulty cancelling

Synergy Rx

+Offers both injectable and oral-tablet compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide
+Names its four dispensing pharmacies and supervising Lion MD physicians
+Wider peptide menu than sibling storefronts: NAD+, sermorelin, glutathione, B12, PT-141
−Independent review found the intake does not screen for medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2 history (GLP-1 boxed-warning contraindication)
−Pricing is withheld until after the consult on the brand's own site; consult fee is disclosed inconsistently ($59 vs $80)
−Launched in 2026 with no Trustpilot, BBB or patient-review history
