New Wave Health review
It names semaglutide, tirzepatide and a microdose, and prices none of them. The only figure anywhere is a “from $149” attached to no product, so the real cost arrives after intake.

How we scored New Wave Health
Each factor is read off New Wave Health's published pricing, disclosures and intake flow, and the six roll up into the 51/100 Rx-Readiness Score on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
The weakest showing on speed — a slow published timeline, or none at all.
Tiered or opaque — the true monthly is hard to pin down up front.
Mostly async, with a light touchpoint before you're dosed.
Limited or state-gated availability — confirm yours first.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account — switch without re-signing.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation path that isn't published.
How we verified this review
- Last verified

- Confidence
- medium

No price for either molecule anywhere. The only figure on the site is a 'from $149' attached to no named product, with every treatment page printing 'available by consultation'. Thirty days' notice to cancel, and the same compiled app as two other brands.
What we like
- It names its operating company, New Wave Health LLC, and where it is based
- An async eligibility check rather than a scheduled call
- It offers a lower-dose microdose alongside the two usual molecules
The caveats
- It publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere on the site
- Its only figure, "from $149", is attached to no named product
- Cancellation wants thirty days' notice and anything already begun is non-refundable
- Its own answers disagree about whether coverage is Virginia-plus or all fifty states
- The site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands, with the same testimonial photo
- No brand-name path, and no shipping window published
New Wave Health for working moms: our verdict
It names semaglutide, tirzepatide and a microdose, and prices none of them. The only figure anywhere is a “from $149” attached to no product, so the real cost arrives after intake. New Wave Health does not publish a single standing monthly medication rate. What it does state is "Price not published; only a "from $149" with no product" — which is not the same thing as a monthly price you can budget against, so treat it as a starting point rather than a total. Before you commit, confirm what the figure covers, what the medication itself will cost on top of it, and how often you will be charged. That is the number to compare against the flat monthly plans elsewhere on this list, which sit near $179/month.
We weigh New Wave Health the way working moms actually have to: not just the monthly line on your budget, but how fast you can start without a scheduled video visit and a flat monthly price that doesn't climb as your dose does — the parts a generic review does not measure.
What New Wave Health will cost you
New Wave Health doesn't post a standard monthly cash price up front — pricing appears after an intake quiz. Get a written quote and confirm the ongoing rate before you commit.
The medications New Wave Health prescribes
New Wave Health prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic). These are compounded formulations from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where New Wave Health fits — and where it doesn't — for working moms
Right for you if…
- you want to start fast and async — no scheduled video visit to wedge between work and pickup.
- nationwide access matters — a move for work or family shouldn't interrupt care.
Not your best option if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen and insurance navigation.
- you want frictionless cancellation and no prepay lock-in — the exit terms are the weak point here.
- you'd rather the most predictable place to start and pause — which is exactly what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is designed around.
Trust, safety, and the fine print
Our confidence is moderate — the core facts check out, but some details (per-state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing working moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
New Wave Health is a reasonable option — weigh it on how fast you can start without a scheduled video visit and a flat monthly price that doesn't climb as your dose does against the alternatives below. For most working moms, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for working moms
Best for: Almost nobody comparing costs today — there is no published price here to compare against anything.

- Visit CoreAge RxRx-Readiness95100CoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The shortlist pick: one flat price that doesn't climb as your dose does, both molecules on a single plan, and a nationwide async intake you can finish on a break.
- Visit Pallas HealthRx-Readiness89100
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.
- Visit Trimi HealthRx-Readiness88100
The price-first partner: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive compounded pricing we track, nationwide and async — strong if the monthly number is your deciding factor and you read the annual-prepay fine print.

Head-to-head & alternatives
New Wave Health, answered
- What does semaglutide cost here?
- It does not say. The figure is not on the homepage, on any of the three treatment pages, or in the FAQ; all that exists is 'from $149 a month', without naming a product. The real number arrives after intake, once personal and medical details are already in — which is exactly the order to avoid while comparing.
- Is it related to other brands?
- It runs the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 telehealth brands: the same application file, the same legal text apart from the company name, and the same testimonial photo under the same patient name and the same pound count. Weighing two of those three is weighing one site twice.
- Can it be canceled at any time?
- It wants thirty days' notice before the next billing cycle, and consultations, visits and filled prescriptions are non-refundable. It is the same clause, word for word, that both of its sibling brands publish — which itself says something about how independent the three are.
Pricing, states and verification reflect New Wave Health's public disclosures at last review; the Rx-Readiness Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology.
