Alternatives to Rivas Medical Weight Loss

The habit-plus-medication route: Noom bolts a prescriber onto its behavior-change app, runs mostly async, and will chase brand-name coverage through insurance — but it won't tell you which molecule you're getting or your true quarterly total up front.

Pallas Health removes the two things that usually cost a working parent the most time: it publishes every price before intake, and it runs care asynchronously in 43 of 50 states, so there's no video appointment to wedge into a workday. Compounded semaglutide averages about $199 a month and tirzepatide $299, and unusually the genuine FDA-approved pens sit alongside them — Zepbound $1,069, Ozempic $1,299, Wegovy and Mounjaro $1,349 — all cash-pay from the same clinician. The price is flat at every dose, so a titration never produces a surprise bill, and the plan figure already contains the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging with no membership fee. Its cancellation terms are unusually concrete: cancel free through the portal, keep access to the end of the paid period, full refund if a clinician declines you, and a $5 processing fee on a qualifying refund. The trade-offs are that billing lands every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 blocks rather than monthly, the compounding pharmacy is never named, and insurance is never billed.

The number on the page is a prepay. Read live on 2026-08-26, GOAL.MD's semaglutide page leads with $99 a month and its tirzepatide page with $159 — and both are 12-month prepaid equivalents, $1,188 and $1,908 handed over up front. Month to month, the same two medications are $179 and $249. The site does say so, in the same sentence, but second. Everything around that pricing is unusually clean for this roster: a named physician with a searchable NPI rather than an anonymous clinical network, "No Auto-Billing. Ever." with a stated check-in before every renewal, a 3-minute online medical visit with no video call mentioned anywhere in the copy, and a published timeline — physician decision in about 24 hours, free shipping in 2–3 days. Two corrections to make if you are comparing: it serves 48 states rather than the whole country, and its brand-name lane is a forwarding service where you pay GOAL.MD $95 a month for supervision and the manufacturer program directly for the drug.

No scheduled video visit, but no published turnaround time either — a $49/mo membership plus medication billed separately lands around $348/mo all-in for either molecule.

$249 semaglutide, $349 tirzepatide, month to month, flat at every dose. Those are the only recurring rates. The cheaper tiers are prepayment — '$159/mo' is $477 once, three months shipped together, select states only. Brand Wegovy and Zepbound available as a $99 care fee, drug billed separately. FDA letter 717991 from February 2026, still open; the cited claims have been removed from the site.

FDA warning letter #728291 (Jun. 2026), which names orderlymeds.com. One of the few sites in this round to publish real cash prices for both compounded ($149/mo semaglutide, $299/mo tirzepatide) and FDA-approved brand-name options (Wegovy® $1,839/mo, Zepbound® $1,498/mo) — a named Chief Medical Officer, and licensed in all 50 states. It also cites customer-reported outcomes (125k patients, 1M+ pounds lost) rather than leaving weight-loss claims unsourced.

A broader wellness platform (GLP-1s plus NAD+, sermorelin, HRT, hair growth) offering both compounded ($199/mo semaglutide, $299/mo tirzepatide) and brand-name Ozempic/Zepbound access — though the site shows three different, unreconciled price claims across its own pages, so confirm the real number at signup. The three are the $199/mo standing tier, a $169/mo three-month prepay plan badged 'Best Value', and a countdown-timer banner advertising 'as low as $119/mo' that matches neither. Brand-name access is listed only as 'also available', with no price shown on any page we checked, so the compounded tiers are the only figures you can plan around.

The widest menu on the board — compounded, oral and four brand pens, all on a chat visit with no camera — sold behind a pricing page that quotes you a monthly figure for a plan you have to pay for a year in advance.

A same-day-provider-access platform offering compounded tirzepatide from $189/mo alongside brand-name Ozempic/Zepbound/Mounjaro access — but no compounded semaglutide option, so semaglutide-specific readers pay brand-name prices starting at $345/mo.
