Elara Health and Wellness is a physician-guided weight-loss platform offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections across all 50 states plus DC.

Semaglutide is $183/mo and tirzepatide $267/mo, with annual plans cutting cost further.

TeleClinic
What we like
- Names its pharmacy partner — Rush Pharmacy, a licensed 503A compounder — which many compounded-GLP-1 telehealths won't disclose
- LegitScript certified with flat, published monthly pricing, free shipping, and no insurance required
- Broad access: 47 states with US-licensed physicians and transparent cash-pay pricing
Watch-outs
- Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide only — no brand-name GLP-1 (Wegovy or Zepbound) option
- Headline $139/$219 rates are first-quarter intro prices billed quarterly; ongoing month-to-month is $199/$299
- Not available in California, South Carolina, or New Jersey
Elara Health and Wellness

- Bundled care model: quarterly labs, physician visits, coaching, and 24/7 messaging without a membership fee
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer
- All 50 states plus DC, with explicit coverage language
- Substantial annual-plan savings ($792/yr semaglutide, $858/yr tirzepatide)
- Self-service cancellation on monthly and quarterly plans
Watch-outs
- LegitScript certification status not disclosed
