About Collective

Teleios Health is a physician-led, cash-pay GLP-1 weight-loss platform marketing compounded semaglutide from $99/mo and compounded tirzepatide from $139/mo, delivered direct to your door through a fully online intake. It emphasizes physician (MD/DO) prescribing rather than an NP-only model. Those starting prices are among the lowest published in the cash-pay segment, though maintenance-dose pricing and other plan details aren't surfaced publicly.

Collective
What we like
- The lowest published compounded GLP-1 medication prices we track — $59/month semaglutide and $69/month tirzepatide
- Flat pricing at every dose, so titrating up does not raise the bill
- Unlimited clinician messaging and registered-dietitian access are included rather than upsold
- 21-day free trial on the membership before the annual fee is charged
Watch-outs
- The advertised $59 and $69 exclude a mandatory $199 annual membership — the real first-year cost is $907 and $1,027
- Membership fees are non-refundable and no partial-period refunds are given
- Compounding pharmacies are described only as 'independent, third-party licensed pharmacies' and are never named
- State availability is not published on the marketing site
Teleios Health
What we like
- Compounded semaglutide from $99/mo — among the lowest floor prices in cash-pay telehealth
- Compounded tirzepatide from a competitive $139/mo floor
- Markets physician (MD/DO) prescribing rather than an NP-only model
- Clean meta-tag and SEO implementation
Watch-outs
- Single-page app: state availability, pharmacy partner, dose pricing, lab requirements, and refund policy aren't visible and couldn't be verified
- No named medical director, physician, or corporate entity disclosed
- Year founded unknown — a newer floor-price entrant warranting extra scrutiny
- No LegitScript, NABP, or SOC 2 trust signal found
- Heavy paid-acquisition ad-tech stack — pair with diligence on the clinical layer
- 'From $99/mo' framing hides the maintenance-dose price you'll actually pay
