Brand-Name GLP-1 Pricing Through Telehealth
For patients who want FDA-approved medication, telehealth platforms list brand-name drugs at roughly list price: Ozempic at $1,299 (Remedy Meds) to $1,498 (Fridays) and Zepbound at $1,399 (Remedy Meds) to $1,828 (Fridays) per 28-day cycle. Insurance coverage or manufacturer savings programs change this math entirely — LillyDirect and NovoCare self-pay programs price Zepbound and Wegovy vials at $349-499/month, which beats most compounded tirzepatide plans. See our Zepbound cost and Wegovy cost guides before assuming compounded is cheaper.
Frequently Asked Questions
Compounded semaglutide runs $134-299/month and compounded tirzepatide $199-399/month across major telehealth platforms as of July 2026, with provider review, medication, and shipping typically bundled. Prepaid multi-month plans reduce effective rates to $150-283/month. Brand-name medications through telehealth run $1,299-1,828 per month before insurance.
Three structural reasons. First, dose-tier pricing: some platforms charge more as your dose escalates (Henry Meds adds ~$100/tier above 1mg) while others hold flat (TrimRx). Second, bundle depth: Fridays includes 1:1 nutrition coaching and insurance support in its price; leaner platforms include only provider review and fulfillment. Third, commitment discounts: 12-month prepays cut effective rates 25-40% but shift risk to you.
On rolling monthly plans at July 2026 prices, roughly: SurpassMD from $1,608 (if entry pricing held at dose escalation), Fridays $2,988, Henry Meds $3,564, Remedy Meds $3,588, TrimRx $3,468 ($179 first month + 11 × $299). Prepaid: Fridays $1,800, TrimRx $2,088, Henry Meds ~$2,364. These are floors — dose escalation raises the real number at dose-tiered platforms, which is why the month-six price matters more than the month-one price.
If your insurance covers a brand-name GLP-1 with a typical copay ($25-100/month), brand-name is cheaper than any compounded plan. The compounded market exists because most plans still exclude or restrict weight loss GLP-1s. Check coverage first: a $50 copay for FDA-approved Wegovy beats every cash price in this comparison. Our GLP-1 insurance coverage guide walks through the prior-authorization process.
Yes, at all five platforms compared here the advertised monthly price includes the provider review or consultation, the medication, and shipping. None charge a separate membership fee. This was not always true in the category — early GLP-1 telehealth commonly charged $49-250 consultation fees on top of medication — so treat any platform that still itemizes those fees as expensive relative to this field.
As of July 2026: for entry-price semaglutide, SurpassMD ($134/month advertised). For committed 12-month semaglutide, Fridays ($150/month prepaid). For entry-price tirzepatide, SurpassMD ($199/month advertised). For high-dose tirzepatide over a full course, TrimRx ($349 flat at every dose, $283/month on 12-month prepay). Cheapest depends on your molecule, dose trajectory, and risk tolerance for prepaying.
