About Elara Health and Wellness
Elara Health and Wellness is a physician-guided weight-loss platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections across all 50 states plus DC. Its differentiator is a bundled care-team model — pricing includes medication, quarterly labs, physician visits, coaching, and 24/7 messaging, with four named 503A pharmacy partners disclosed. Semaglutide is $183/mo and tirzepatide $267/mo, with annual plans cutting cost further.

MEDVidi is a US telehealth platform whose licensed providers evaluate patients and prescribe GLP-1 weight-management medications, including brand-name Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide), plus Saxenda, Qsymia and phentermine. It runs on a per-visit consult model rather than a bundled subscription: an initial appointment is 195 dollars and a follow-up is 159 dollars, and prescriptions go to the patient's chosen pharmacy, so medication cost is separate. MEDVidi operates in 33 states. This is a distinct brand from MEDVi (medvi.com).
