CoreAge Rx vs Andrew Meds
CoreAge Rx and Andrew Meds both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on speed to first dose, flat pricing, access and molecule choice. Here they are side-by-side on the Rx-Readiness Score — our readiness rubric.
CoreAge Rx

Ranked #23 · Grade C
Best for: Someone who wants every tier priced before starting and will decide deliberately whether a year up front is worth $50 a month.
Visit Andrew MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Andrew Meds on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 74 (A vs C). Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
Andrew Meds is still a genuine option — the complete ladder is on the page before any intake, which almost nothing else here does: semaglutide $199 a month, $549 for three months, $999 for six, $1,788 for twelve; tirzepatide $299, $797, $1,494, $2,748. Read the long tiers correctly — each is a single upfront charge rather than a smaller monthly bill, so the advertised $149 means paying a full year before the first box ships. Disclosure is above average where it counts. Andrew Meds LLC is named with a Houston address, and the practice that writes the prescription is named separately as Dr Tel X in Kennewick, Washington. Coverage is all fifty states and DC, enumerated rather than claimed, and there is an oral tirzepatide alongside the injections. The gaps: the compounding pharmacy is never named, no time to first dose is published, and a period you have partly used is not refunded. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
Andrew Meds
Ranked #23 · Grade C
What we like
- The complete price ladder for both molecules, published before any intake
- Names the separate practice that prescribes, with address and phone
- All fifty states and DC enumerated rather than asserted
The caveats
- Every multi-month price is one upfront charge — $149 means $1,788 at once
- The compounding pharmacy is never named
- No refunds for partially used periods; refunds at the company's discretion
