Head-to-head for moms
CoreAge Rx vs New Wave Health
CoreAge Rx and New Wave Health both offer GLP-1 telehealth to mothers, but they make different trade-offs on family-budget value, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Editors' Rating — our six-factor rubric for mothers.
CoreAge Rx

Visit New Wave HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out New Wave Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 37 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
New Wave Health is still a genuine option — it names compounded semaglutide, compounded tirzepatide and a microdose, and prices none of them. The only figure on the site is a “from $149 a month” attached to no named product, and every treatment page prints “available by consultation” where the number would go. Cancellation wants thirty days' notice, and the site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
New Wave Health
Ranked #296 · Grade C
What we like
- Names its operating company, New Wave Health LLC, and where it is based
- Offers a lower-dose microdose option alongside the two usual molecules
The caveats
- Publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere on the site
- The only figure, "from $149", is attached to no named product
- Cancellation requires thirty days' notice and anything already begun is non-refundable
