BeyondMD review
BeyondMD does the thing almost nobody in this market does — it prints its prices in public, before any intake — and then quietly withholds the only price that matters. "Starting at $125" is an entry tier; on exactly one page in the whole catalog the company states its real range, "from $139 to $449 per month", plus a $34 consultation fee and shipping it never prices. Every GET STARTED button on every GLP-1 page goes not to a cart but to a lead-capture form with no dollar figures on it and a promise that a specialist will call, while the labs section of the same site sells with working add-to-cart buttons — so the phone call is deliberate. Against that sits the strongest clinical roster we have reviewed at this price: eleven clinicians named on the site, several with full bios and credentials, coaching and a certified nutritionist included rather than optional, PCOS named as a qualifying comorbidity, and pregnancy and breastfeeding addressed on the product pages themselves. The contract is the weak point — the word "refund" appears nowhere in forty-four kilobytes of Terms.

How we scored BeyondMD
Each score comes out of BeyondMD's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 50/100 Editors' Rating on the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.
Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Leaving costs you — notice windows, minimum terms or fees you don't get back.

$125 and $199, published before intake, which is rare. Everything after that is harder: a $34 consultation fee sits on top, the site contradicts itself on both price and state coverage, and you cannot buy online at all — every button leads to a lead-capture form, with the real price quoted by phone.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked BeyondMD's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Prices are on the program pages before any intake — a real point in BeyondMD's favor, and rarer in this market than it should be
- 2Every "GET STARTED" button on every GLP-1 page resolves to the same destination: /pre-appointment-with-specialist/
- 3That page is a lead-capture form, not a cart — "Complete the form below to schedule your free, introductory consultation… Our Online Specialist will call you shortly"
- 4It contains zero dollar figures, so the number you will actually pay arrives by phone
What we noticed
- The published price is a floor, not a price: the one page that states the range gives $139 to $449 per month plus a $34 consultation fee, which makes the ceiling roughly 3.2 times the $125 headline
- The absent cart is a choice, not a gap — /labs/ on the same site has working ADD TO CART buttons with exact prices. GLP-1s alone route to a phone call
- /our-providers/ carries full bios for named clinicians, including a board-certified emergency physician with twenty years in practice — genuinely uncommon in compounded telehealth
- The same page titles that physician "Medical Director" while the homepage calls him "Nurse Director", and misspells another provider's name in its own heading
- /frequently-asked-questions/ is unfinished Lorem Ipsum — "Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam" — under headings reading "Intensive Caring" and "Best of Care", live right now on a healthcare site
- The 784 KB JavaScript bundle was pulled and grepped: no hidden price catalog and no undisclosed cancellation fee. Consult charges and eligibility are state-dependent but resolved server-side, and the state-exclusion rule is currently switched off
Pricing
Prices re-verified
| Medication | Monthly | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Compounded semaglutide | $125 | Injection — entry tier"Starting at $125" is the entry tier, not the rate. The real ceiling appears on exactly one page in the whole catalog, /all-programs/glp-1-injections/: "Your program includes a medical provider consultation fee of $34, with the program cost ranging from $139 to $449 per month, depending on your personalized treatment plan." That is roughly 3.2x the headline, plus a consult fee. The generic GLP-1 injections program is separately listed "Starting at $139". |
| Compounded tirzepatide | $199 | Injection — entry tierSame $139-$449 published range and $34 consult fee apply. The page's own <title> tag still says $209 while the hero says $199 — one of three places the site disagrees with itself on price. |
| Oral semaglutide | $125 | Oral — "new pricing"The hero on this page shows $149 and a "new pricing" figure of $125 directly beneath it; the catalog card on /all-programs/ still carries the old $149. Oral pages add that "Shipping fees are not included and will vary based on location and delivery method" — shipping is never priced anywhere on the site. |
| Oral tirzepatide | $199 | Oral — "new pricing"Listed at $199.99 as "new pricing" against a $249 hero, with the /all-programs/ card still showing $249. Oral page copy: "Programs start at $199.99, with provider consultation required." |
| Brand semaglutide | $129 | Wegovy® consultation program"Starting at $129", correctly labeled as an FDA-approved product. A dedicated program page, not a footnote. |
| Brand tirzepatide | $129 | Zepbound® consultation program"Starting at $129", also correctly labeled FDA-approved. |

What we like
- Named clinicians with real bios and credentials — a board-certified emergency physician of twenty years, a family nurse practitioner with dated credentials, eleven providers listed in total — which most compounded GLP-1 sellers do not offer at all
- Prices are visible on the program pages before any intake, and the labs section transacts openly with exact prices and working carts
- Weight-loss coaching and accountability are included without an "(Optional)" beside them, along with a certified nutritionist consultation and an order of Zofran for nausea
- Both FDA-approved brand pens have dedicated programs — Wegovy and Zepbound, both "Starting at $129" and correctly labeled — alongside oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide
- PCOS is named explicitly as a qualifying comorbidity on both brand pages, and pregnancy and breastfeeding are addressed on the product pages rather than buried
- Membership is free, the LegitScript seal is served live from LegitScript's own CDN rather than self-hosted, and no undisclosed cancellation fee exists in the site's own JavaScript bundle
The caveats
- The headline is a floor, not a price: the published range is $139 to $449 per month plus a $34 consultation fee, and it appears on exactly one page in the entire catalog
- You cannot buy online. Every GET STARTED button on every GLP-1 page goes to a lead-capture form with zero dollar figures and the line "Our Online Specialist will call you shortly" — while the same site's labs section has working carts, so the phone call is a deliberate choice
- Shipping is explicitly excluded on the oral pages and is never priced anywhere on the site
- The site disagrees with itself on price in three ways — stale title tags against page bodies, a hero price and a "new pricing" price stacked on the same oral pages, and catalog cards still showing the old figures
- The Terms of Service contain no refund policy, no cancellation policy and no auto-renewal terms — the word "refund" does not appear in roughly 44 KB of contract — while including an anti-chargeback clause, binding arbitration in Kent County, Michigan, and a $500 liability cap
- State coverage contradicts itself on a single page load: the sitewide footer claims "all 50 states" while both the homepage and /our-process/ FAQs say "most U.S. states", and no list is published anywhere
- /frequently-asked-questions/ is unfinished Lorem Ipsum, live on a healthcare site, under the headings "Intensive Caring" and "Best of Care"
- Contact details conflict across pages — three phone numbers and two different email domains — and the informed-consent page on beyondmd.com is headed with a sibling brand's name
- The compounding pharmacy is never named, only described by category, and "postpartum" appears nowhere on the site
BeyondMD for mothers: our verdict
BeyondMD does the thing almost nobody in this market does — it prints its prices in public, before any intake — and then quietly withholds the only price that matters. "Starting at $125" is an entry tier; on exactly one page in the whole catalog the company states its real range, "from $139 to $449 per month", plus a $34 consultation fee and shipping it never prices. Every GET STARTED button on every GLP-1 page goes not to a cart but to a lead-capture form with no dollar figures on it and a promise that a specialist will call, while the labs section of the same site sells with working add-to-cart buttons — so the phone call is deliberate. Against that sits the strongest clinical roster we have reviewed at this price: eleven clinicians named on the site, several with full bios and credentials, coaching and a certified nutritionist included rather than optional, PCOS named as a qualifying comorbidity, and pregnancy and breastfeeding addressed on the product pages themselves. The contract is the weak point — the word "refund" appears nowhere in forty-four kilobytes of Terms. It runs about $125/month — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh BeyondMD the way mothers actually have to: not just the real monthly cost, but the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it — the things a generic roundup never gets to.
What BeyondMD actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection — entry tier: $125/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection — entry tier: $199/mo
- Oral semaglutide — Oral — "new pricing": $125/mo
- Oral tirzepatide — Oral — "new pricing": $199/mo
- Brand-name semaglutide — Wegovy® consultation program: $129/mo
- Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound® consultation program: $129/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for mothers — a real cost advantage.
The medications BeyondMD prescribes
BeyondMD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the pair with the strongest evidence behind them, and having both under one account matters when insulin resistance, familiar from PCOS and gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better fit. It can also route you to FDA-approved brand pens rather than only compounded vials, and those carry the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling, which is a cleaner document to take to an OB.
A needle-free oral or sublingual option is on the menu, which draws in mothers who've been avoiding injections — just set expectations: oral and buccal delivery of these peptides is far less studied than the injectable versions the trials used.
Where BeyondMD fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
Worth it if…
- you want a real clinician reading your history around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs, not an auto-approving quiz.
- the real monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
Give it a miss if…
- you want frictionless cancellation — the fine print here is where the complaints cluster.
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around the real monthly cost once the dose climbs — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety, and oversight
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 mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our Editors' Rating methodology.
A standing caveat for mothers: GLP-1 medications aren't established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. Nothing here changes that — plan the timing with your own clinician.
The bottom line
BeyondMD is a genuine value play — weigh it on the real monthly cost once the dose climbs and whether a real clinician stands behind it against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A mother who wants a named, credentialled clinician behind the prescription and coaching bundled in rather than upsold, who is comfortable taking a phone call to learn her actual price, and who is not counting on a written refund or cancellation policy — because there isn't one.
Alternatives to BeyondMD
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Editors' Rating — highest first. A fee never moves a rating, but it does decide who appears here, so this is not the whole roster: the full ranking lists every provider we cover.
- Visit CoreAge RxCoreAge RxOur #1 pick
The one program on this masthead whose number still makes sense at the top of the dose. A flat, all-in monthly price on both molecules, no teaser rate to expire, and a cancel button you can actually find — the closest thing to a family-budget guarantee we've reviewed.
- Visit Gala Health
A flat $179 for either molecule and a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option, if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy the marketing never names.
- Visit Sesame
A high-trust telehealth marketplace that took a clear side: FDA-approved brand GLP-1 only, no compounded shortcut. You pay a brand cash price and book a real video visit — but you get on-label pens and one of the cleaner reputations on this masthead.

Head-to-head & alternatives
BeyondMD, answered
- What will BeyondMD actually charge me?
- Somewhere between $139 and $449 a month, plus a $34 consultation fee, plus shipping that is never priced anywhere on the site — and the only way to find out where in that range you land is to give BeyondMD your phone number and wait for a call. The $125 and $199 figures on the program pages are entry tiers. The range appears on exactly one page in the whole catalog. Every GET STARTED button, on every GLP-1 page, goes to a lead-capture form with no prices on it and the line "Our Online Specialist will call you shortly." That is a choice rather than a limitation: the labs section of the same site has working add-to-cart buttons with exact prices beside them.
- Are the clinicians real, and are they named?
- Yes, and it is the best thing here by some distance. /our-providers/ carries full biographies — a board-certified emergency physician with two decades in practice and a Jefferson Medical College degree, a family nurse practitioner with her RN, BSN and FNP credentials and dates, a nurse practitioner with an endocrinology background, and eight more clinicians listed by name. Most compounded GLP-1 sellers name nobody at all. The same page also titles that physician "Medical Director" while the homepage calls him "Nurse Director", and misspells another provider's name in its own heading, which is a different kind of problem — sloppiness rather than concealment, but on a page whose whole purpose is credentials.
- Does BeyondMD serve my state?
- It does not say, and it disagrees with itself about it on a single page load. The footer at the bottom of every page claims care in "all 50 states", repeated on the about and providers pages. The FAQ on /our-process/ and the FAQ on the homepage both say BeyondMD "currently serves most U.S. states." No list exists anywhere. The site asks for a ZIP code, and the message its own code falls back to reads "Sorry! There is no provider available in your state." Confirm before you plan around it.
- What happens if I want to stop?
- The Terms of Service do not say. The word "refund" does not appear in roughly forty-four kilobytes of contract — there is no cancellation policy, no auto-renewal language, no money-back guarantee, and, to be fair, no cancellation fee either, which was checked directly against the site's own JavaScript bundle. What the Terms do contain is a clause in which you agree not to dispute charges with your payment provider, binding arbitration in Kent County, Michigan with jury-trial and class-action waivers, and a maximum liability cap of $500. The one reassuring sentence — "You'll only be charged if approved for treatment" — lives on a marketing page and is not repeated in anything binding.
Pricing, states and verification reflect BeyondMD's public disclosures at last review; the Editors' Rating is our editorial judgment per the published methodology. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
