Visit Prime HealthThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Prime Health on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 54 (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.
Prime Health is still a genuine option — compounded semaglutide at $299 and tirzepatide at $399, quoted as a monthly program but sold as a FOUR-WEEK supply — a distinction that costs you an extra cycle roughly every year and is easy to miss because the site itself writes it as per month. The price is reachable without finishing the quiz, but only inside a collapsed FAQ rather than on any pricing page. Prime Health is a platform rather than a practice: it states plainly that it does not provide medical services, with clinicians supplied through the OpenLoop professional corporations, and its own copy still refers in places to the Remedy Meds platform it is built on. It covers every state except Louisiana and backs the program with a stated money-back guarantee tied to losing at least 10% of body weight in four months.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · 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
Prime Health
Editors' Rating 54/100 · Grade C
What we like
- Publishes its price without making you finish the intake quiz, inside its FAQ
- Money-back guarantee tied to losing at least 10% of body weight in four months
- Names the clinical network behind it — the OpenLoop professional corporations — rather than leaving prescribers anonymous
The caveats
- The advertised month is a FOUR-WEEK supply, so a year costs about thirteen cycles rather than twelve
- At $299 and $399 it sits at the expensive end of the compounded market
- States plainly that it is not a provider of medical services, so the platform and the prescriber are separate entities
