PreventiveMD review

Every protocol page advertises semaglutide "as low as $83/mo, all-in". The function that produces that number takes each pricing tier, divides its total by the number of months it covers, and prints whichever result is smallest — and the price catalog returns $999 for the twelve-month supply. Pay monthly and it is $119. Which, to be fair to them, is still cheaper than most of our list.

How we scored PreventiveMD

Each score comes out of PreventiveMD's published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 52/100 Editors' Rating on our weighted six-factor framework. A commission never changes a provider's score.

Pricing transparency42/100 · Weak

The headline rate obscures a plan requirement or a hidden step-up.

Family-budget value50/100 · Weak

Cost is unpredictable, premium, or hides behind a plan commitment.

Fits around motherhood54/100 · Weak

Little here is shaped around a mother's week or her life stage.

Ongoing support & titration52/100 · Weak

Support is thin once the prescription ships.

Clinical oversight & labs60/100 · Weak

Oversight and lab support fall short of the best we track — the review below says exactly where.

How we verified this review

Primary source
The company's own site

Compounded semaglutide is $119 for a one-month supply and tirzepatide $139 — both below our list's median, which deserves saying first. The advertised figure is something else. Each protocol page headlines "as low as $83/mo, all-in", and that is the $999 twelve-month supply divided by twelve: the site takes every tier, divides the total by its month count, and prints the smallest answer. Search engines are shown that same derived number as its monthly price. The pricing table itself can be slow to load, so expect to look twice. Four non-GLP-1 treatments carry prices in the same wording and are not GLP-1 figures. The brand-name tiers are a $49 membership with medication billed separately by the manufacturer's pharmacy. Neither PreventiveMD, Inc. nor its medical group has an FDA warning letter on file.

Before you sign up

We opened PreventiveMD's signup and stopped at the first screen that asked for personal details, so we can't tell you what comes after it. Here's what's worth knowing before you start.

These signup observations are from . The flow and offers may have changed; use the current pricing and terms in this review.

Worth knowing

  • Signup and care run through Healthie, a third-party telehealth platform, rather than the brand's own system
  • No monthly price is visible on the public homepage; the number appears only after you begin the intake

Pricing

MedicationPricePlan
Compounded semaglutide$119Injection, one-month supplyThe month-to-month price from the seller's own pricing API. The page advertises "As low as $83/mo, all-in", which is the $999 twelve-month supply divided by twelve.
Compounded tirzepatide$139Injection, one-month supplyMonth to month. The advertised "$97/mo" is the $1,168 twelve-month supply divided by twelve.
Compounded semaglutide$83Injection, 12-month supply$999 paid up front. This is the figure the site headlines and the figure it publishes in its Offer markup as a monthly price.
Brand tirzepatide$49Zepbound — membership fee only"$49/mo membership fee + medication starts at $299/mo". The $49 is all the seller charges; the medication is billed separately by LillyDirect, and the $299 comes from a fallback in the site's code rather than its price API.

What we like

  • $119 a month, paid monthly, undercuts most of our list outright
  • Every tier is published in a machine-readable catalog, so nothing has to be taken on trust
  • Names its participating medical group in the Terms
  • Says openly that the brand-name tiers are a membership fee and the medication is billed by the manufacturer's pharmacy
  • No labs required before starting, stated in the FAQ rather than discovered later

The caveats

  • "As low as $83/mo, all-in" is a $999 annual prepay divided by twelve — the monthly price is $119
  • The same derived figure is published in the page's structured data as a monthly price, which is what search engines read
  • The pricing table can be slow to load and may show "Loading pricing…" before the numbers appear
  • Four non-GLP-1 treatments carry prices in the identical "as low as … all-in" wording
  • The brand medication figures come from a hardcoded fallback rather than the live catalog
  • No list of states served

Is PreventiveMD worth it?

PreventiveMD costs about $119/month, which is on the lower side of what we see. Where it earns its score is clinical oversight. Where it loses ground is price transparency.

Both brand-name and compounded options are available, so you aren't locked into one or the other.

PreventiveMD pricing

  • Compounded semaglutide — Injection, one-month supply: $119/mo
  • Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, one-month supply: $139/mo
  • Compounded semaglutide — Injection, 12-month supply: $83/mo
  • Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound — membership fee only: $49/mo

That's below the roughly $196/month most providers we've reviewed charge. Over a year at that rate, you'd spend about $1,428. Paying for a longer plan up front brings it down to about $83/month, but you're committing to the full term.

What's included: the clinician consult, the medication, and shipping.

What PreventiveMD prescribes

PreventiveMD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. Tirzepatide often suits women whose weight is tied to insulin resistance — common after PCOS or gestational diabetes — so having both options on one account is useful. It can also prescribe FDA-approved brand pens, which come with the manufacturer's pregnancy and breastfeeding labeling — a cleaner document to take to your OB.

Getting started

There's no published list of states, so confirm yours before you share any health details.

How PreventiveMD compares

Close in price to PreventiveMD, and worth comparing:

  • Factor Health MD — $99.99/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose
  • Mochi Health — $139/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, brand-name pens available
  • Bodybuilding Health+ — $179/mo, semaglutide and tirzepatide, same price at every dose

Who PreventiveMD suits, and who should look elsewhere

Worth it if…

  • The monthly bill is what decides it, and you want a low, predictable number.
  • You may want to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide later on.

Give it a miss if…

  • You need to know up front whether it treats patients in your state — it doesn't publish a state list.
  • You want one flat price at every dose — compare CoreAge Rx, a featured partner.

Safety and oversight

It's fair to ask any compounded provider two things: which pharmacy makes the medication, and what's in it. How we score clinical oversight is set out in our methodology.

Weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. If you are breastfeeding or planning pregnancy, discuss the exact medicine, formulation and timing with your own clinician; limited milk-transfer data do not establish infant safety.

Questions to ask before you pay

  • Do you treat patients in my state?
  • What happens to my plan if I become pregnant?

Our take

On price alone, PreventiveMD earns a look — it costs less than most of what we've reviewed. For a second option, see our review of CoreAge Rx, a featured partner.

The bottom line for mothers

Best for: A mother chasing the lowest genuine month-to-month price who is willing to disregard the number on the label to find it.

Alternatives to PreventiveMD

These are partners — we may be paid if you sign up through these links. The full list has every provider we cover, partner or not.

  • CoreAge RxFeatured partner

    The one program on our list 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 CoreAge Rx
  • One price at every dose: $249 for semaglutide or $299 for tirzepatide month to month, falling to $199 on three months and $129 or $179 on a prepaid year — a reasonable all-doses-included option, if you can live with a pharmacy the marketing never names.

    Visit Gala Health
  • Compounded semaglutide at $99 a month and tirzepatide at $129, flat at every dose with no membership fee — from a company carrying an FDA warning letter issued in June 2026.

PreventiveMD, answered

How much does PreventiveMD cost?
When we last checked, the lowest eligible ongoing compounded price at PreventiveMD worked out to an estimated $119 per calendar month. This is a monthly budget equivalent; the actual charge and billing interval may differ. Confirm today's all-in invoice amount, renewal dates and dose-specific rate before signing up.
Is PreventiveMD safe to use while breastfeeding?
Discuss breastfeeding with your prescriber before starting treatment through PreventiveMD. Advice depends on the exact medicine and formulation, your treatment needs and your infant's circumstances; limited milk data do not establish infant safety. Oral and injectable products can have different labeling, and a compounded preparation needs its own assessment. Tell the clinician if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy so treatment and any stopping interval can be planned individually.
Does PreventiveMD offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
PreventiveMD discloses both semaglutide and tirzepatide options. Confirm the specific product, formulation, current availability in your state and eligibility with the provider; a listed menu does not mean either medicine is appropriate for you.
Where does PreventiveMD rank for mothers?
PreventiveMD takes 52/100 in our Editors' Rating, placing it #207. Six factors chosen for mothers feed that number. CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is worth a side-by-side look.

Pricing, states and verification reflect PreventiveMD'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.
