About New Wave Health
New Wave Health is a Virginia Beach-based telehealth platform selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus a lower-dose GLP-1 microdose and a daily oral option, through an online intake. Prices appear only after the intake: semaglutide is $249/mo ($149 the first month) and tirzepatide $299/mo ($199 the first month), the same at every dose. It does not name its pharmacy or prescribing medical group.

Amazon One Medical is the unified Amazon GLP-1 channel — One Medical clinicians prescribe FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, and Foundayo (no compounded products), and Amazon Pharmacy fulfills with same-day delivery across roughly 3,000 US cities plus pickup kiosks at select One Medical locations. No prior membership required; insurance and cash pay both accepted. Foundayo launched at $25/month with insurance and the Lilly Savings Card, or $149/month cash pay.

New Wave Health
What we like
- One price at every dose for semaglutide and tirzepatide, with no surcharge as your dose goes up
- A month-to-month plan with $100 off the first month, alongside optional 3- and 6-month plans
- Medication, physician review, care coaching and shipping are all listed as included in the price
- You get a refund if the prescribing provider declines to write a prescription
- Publishes a phone number, a Virginia Beach street address and weekday clinical hours
- Checkout shows every plan and the exact total due today before you enter a card
Watch-outs
- No price until you finish about 30 intake questions and hand over your name, email, phone, birth date and address
- The $149 and $199 prices are first-month only; checkout never spells out the $249 or $299 you pay after that
- Neither the compounding pharmacy nor the prescribing medical group is named anywhere on the site
- Cancellation terms conflict: 'cancel anytime', 30 days' notice, or 48 hours before billing
- One FAQ says all 50 states; other pages say only where its providers are licensed, and no list is given
- Claims 1,743+ to 7,200+ patients and 4.8 to 4.98 ratings on a site registered in June 2026, with no review platform named
- Says 'You're pre-approved' before any clinician review, then runs a 15-minute checkout timer that resets
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved
Amazon One Medical
What we like
- As low as $1/day ($25/month) for brand-name Foundayo with insurance and the auto-applied Lilly coupon
- Same-day delivery in nearly 3,000 US cities at launch, expanding to 4,500 by end of 2026
- In-office pharmacist kiosks at select One Medical clinics let you walk out with Foundayo in hand
- Cash-pay $5/day ($149/month) is competitive for the same FDA-approved brand-name product
- Real-time availability, transparent pricing, and automatic manufacturer coupon at checkout
- Delivering GLP-1 medications since 2021 — track record on cold-chain logistics
Watch-outs
- Headline $25/month needs both insurance and the Lilly Savings Card — uninsured pay $149/month
- Same-day delivery is geographically gated; outside major cities it drops to next-day or slower
- Pricing is set by manufacturer savings programs and can change at any time
- No compounded options — brand-name only (Foundayo, Wegovy, Zepbound)
- Wegovy/Zepbound pricing isn't shown upfront — depends on insurance at the prescribing visit
- Copays and deductibles still apply to the clinical visit
