About HumeCare+
HumeCare+ is the GLP-1 telehealth program from Hume Health, the body-composition scale company. It pairs clinician-prescribed compounded semaglutide with continuous body-composition tracking via an included Hume Pod device, so you can see whether you are losing fat rather than muscle. Semaglutide is $199/mo and tirzepatide $299/mo, flat at every dose, billed monthly and cancelable anytime — though no price appears on the marketing site until you finish the intake quiz. The state list, prescribing medical group and pharmacy partner are not named.

HumeCare+
What we like
- Pairs compounded semaglutide with continuous body-composition tracking (lose fat, preserve muscle)
- Includes a Hume Pod body-composition device at no extra cost
- $199/mo semaglutide and $299/mo tirzepatide, flat at every dose — no step-up as you titrate
- Backed by Hume Health, an established body-composition scale brand
- Clinician-prescribed and monitored with weekly tracking
Watch-outs
- No price appears on the marketing site; you must finish the intake quiz and give your name before one is quoted
- Tirzepatide is sold only as a B12 + glycine combination — there is no plain tirzepatide option
- Prescribing medical group and pharmacy partner not named
- States of operation not published
- Not LegitScript-certified (no certification displayed)
Collective
What we like

- 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
