Pros & Cons
Coivas
What we like
- All-inclusive pricing: one price covers doctor consult, prescription, shipping and support
- Compounded semaglutide from $149/mo and tirzepatide from $229/mo on the quarterly plan
- Names its clinical provider (Arora Health & Aesthetics, LLC) and cites USP 797 / NABP-accredited pharmacies
- Available in all 50 states; 24/7 support; HSA/FSA eligible; money-back guarantee
- Most patients approved in under 2 hours; refund if no provider visit or prescription occurs
Watch-outs
- Dispensing pharmacies described only by category (503A/503B, NABP-accredited) - not named individually
- Lower quarterly headline price requires a 3-month commitment; monthly plan costs more ($179/$289)
- Money-back guarantee has strict adherence/verification conditions and no partial/prorated refunds
- No brand-name Wegovy/Zepbound/Mounjaro/Ozempic - compounded injectable only; binding NY arbitration
NovoCare Pharmacy
What we like
- First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
- $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
- $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
- Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
- Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk
- Insurance-billing path available via the NovoCare savings program
- NEW $149/mo Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide tablets, 1.5/4 mg) self-pay tier — 4 mg rises to $199/mo after 8/31/2026
Watch-outs
- Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
- Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
- No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
- Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
- $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
Our Verdict
NovoCare Pharmacy edges out Coivas with a higher overall score of 8.7/10 and is particularly strong for branded Wegovy at the lowest manufacturer-direct self-pay price. Coivas remains a solid alternative, especially if you're looking for all-inclusive compounded GLP-1 pricing with a money-back guarantee.
