Nu Image Medical review
One of the network's longer-established telehealth operators (since 2008) — as low as $99/mo semaglutide, $269/mo tirzepatide — though state coverage isn't itemized beyond a 'trusted nationwide' claim.
Every medical claim in this piece is footnoted to the record it came from — the trial or the FDA label — so you can read the source rather than take the masthead's word for it. No one on this desk is your clinician.

How we scored Nu Image Medical
Each factor is scored from Nu Image Medical's real pricing, disclosures and oversight, then combined into the 59/100 Editors' Rating by 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.
Limited public detail on who oversees care and how.
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.

Sourced from WLR's provider directory, independently re-verified live on nuimagemedical.com (2026-08-03). Both 'As low as' starting prices confirmed on the homepage. No dedicated state-coverage page was found on the pages checked; 'trusted nationwide' is marketing language, not an itemized list.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Nu Image Medical'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.
- 1Homepage lists 'As low as $X/mo' starting prices for semaglutide and tirzepatide directly, before intake
- 2Operating since 2008 — branded 'OG since 2008, Pioneering telehealth' — one of the longer operating histories in this batch
- 3Claims over 1,000,000 patient encounters and a 4.9/5 rating from 30,000+ verified patients
- 4Also offers a broad menu beyond GLP-1s: ED treatment, testosterone, hormone optimization, hair regrowth
What we noticed
- Longer operating history (since 2008) than most providers in this round, which predate the recent GLP-1 telehealth wave
- 'As low as' framing means the exact price at a working dose isn't guaranteed by the homepage number
- No state-coverage list published on the pages checked, despite 'trusted nationwide' marketing language
- No named compounding pharmacy or medical director found on the homepage

Nu Image Medical for mothers: our verdict
One of the network's longer-established telehealth operators (since 2008) — as low as $99/mo semaglutide, $269/mo tirzepatide — though state coverage isn't itemized beyond a 'trusted nationwide' claim. It runs about $269/month — a premium to the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We weigh Nu Image Medical 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 parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What Nu Image Medical actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Starting price: $99/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Starting price: $269/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price across our roster is around $149/month, so Nu Image Medical sits at the premium end.
The medications Nu Image Medical prescribes
Nu Image Medical prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss outcomes, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. 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 Nu Image Medical fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- you may need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- 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.
One line that applies to every provider on this masthead: 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
Nu Image Medical is a reasonable option — 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: Mothers who want a longer operating track record behind the program and are comfortable confirming both the real working-dose price and their state eligibility at intake.

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.
