Pros & Cons
OurView Health
What we like
- Low starting prices via the Savings Club — compounded semaglutide from $75, tirzepatide from $135
- Clear product pricing with no contracts; medication shipped to your door (30-day supply)
- Full legal suite published (Terms, Privacy, HIPAA Notice, Returns & Refunds)
- Discloses meds are compounded by a licensed third-party pharmacy; multi-vertical (TRT, HRT, BHRT, peptides)
Watch-outs
- 'Starting at' prices likely require Savings Club membership and/or a longer plan
- Compounding pharmacy partner not named ('licensed third-party pharmacy')
- 'LegitScript Approved' is stated on the site but was not independently verified here
- Operating medical entity not clearly named (site operated by a marketing agency)
NovoCare Pharmacy
What we like
- First-party Novo Nordisk pharmacy — the most authoritative branded Wegovy channel
- $199/mo intro pricing on Wegovy 0.25/0.5 mg starter doses (through 6/30/2026), the lowest brand self-pay price
- $349/mo standard self-pay is well below the ~$1,300/mo retail list price
- Ships to all 50 states with no telehealth-platform middleman fees
- Cold-chain logistics handled directly by Novo Nordisk
- Insurance-billing path available via the NovoCare savings program
- NEW $149/mo Wegovy pill (oral semaglutide tablets, 1.5/4 mg) self-pay tier — 4 mg rises to $199/mo after 8/31/2026
Watch-outs
- Wegovy only — no Ozempic, no tirzepatide, no compounded GLP-1
- Requires an existing Wegovy prescription — no prescribing clinicians or telehealth intake
- No clinical support included — your own prescriber handles titration and side effects
- Manufacturer-set pricing can change at any time
- $199 pen intro covers only the first 2 fills for new patients (through 6/30/2026); maintenance doses are $349/mo ($399 HD)
