Care Bare Rx
Homepage: 'Weight Loss Treatments Starting at $199' / 'WEIGHT LOSS From $199/mo'. Per-dose prices are quiz-gated in the Nuxt intake app (intake.carebarerx.com) = not published; dose_pricing_model scales_with_dose still consistent with 'Price varies by dose and medication prescribed' (FAQ).

Care Bare Rx
What we like
- Explicit LGBTQ+-inclusive, 'self-care with pride' brand positioning — rare in GLP-1 telehealth
- Covers all 50 states plus Puerto Rico
- Offers both compounded options ($199/mo) and brand-name Ozempic ($705/mo)
- Named physician team: Dr. Ana Lisa Carr, MD and Dr. Kelly Tenbrink, MD
- Four named 503A pharmacy partners: Belmar, Strive, Epiq Scripts, and Casa Pharma Rx
- No FDA warnings or litigation on record
Watch-outs
- Runs on the same clinician network and pharmacies as Breeze Meds and Synergy Rx — the three are white-labeled storefronts on one operation
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
- No actual gender-affirming care or HRT pathway despite the inclusive framing
- Limited accreditation transparency — LegitScript claimed but no PCAB or ACHC seal
- Pharmacy partners are named, but per-batch testing and accreditation details aren't disclosed

- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide available
