Specific GLP-1 prices are not published online and depend on a consultation plus lab work.

Nava Health
What we like
- Integrative functional-medicine approach with advanced lab testing
- Both telemedicine and in-person options
- Board-certified MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, and nutritionists
- Offers both brand and compounded GLP-1 formulations
- Financing and membership plans available
Watch-outs
- No published GLP-1 medication pricing online
- Consultation plus lab work adds to total cost
- Bundled integrative model costs more than medication-only platforms
- State availability for telehealth not clearly listed
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
