How we scored Healthspan
Each dimension is scored algorithmically from Healthspan’s published pricing, drugs offered, verification status, and disclosed inclusions, using the same six-dimension framework we apply to every provider.
Value25%
7.5/10Healthspan's $149/mo is the medication price; a required membership or program fee is billed on top, so the monthly cost is higher than the $185 median for GLP-1 providers (each program's lowest listed ongoing monthly price for compounded semaglutide) suggests.
Effectiveness25%
8.0/10Healthspan offers both semaglutide and tirzepatide, the two GLP-1 molecules with the strongest published weight-loss trial outcomes. It prescribes FDA-approved brand-name medication rather than compounded versions.
User Experience15%

What to expect when you sign up with Healthspan
We walked Healthspan’s public signup flow in November 2026 to document the process (the steps, pricing transparency, and what’s required) before you commit. (We don’t create accounts, enter medical information, or check out; this is the observable funnel, not a prescribing outcome.)
- 1Each GLP-1 page (Wegovy pill, Wegovy pen, Zepbound, Foundayo, non-branded semaglutide) has a 'Get started' button that opens Healthspan's patient app
- 2The first screen asks for your name, email and a password, plus agreement to the Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and Telehealth Consent, before 'Start my visit'
- 3Healthspan says an online intake (and labs when your clinician wants them) comes next, then a clinician visit, then the prescription is sent to LillyDirect or NovoCare, where you pay for the medication directly
- Treatment pages show the medication's starting price as '$149/MO + MEMBERSHIP' or '$299/MO + MEMBERSHIP', and the FAQ says the membership starts at $99 a month
- The Wegovy pen page lists $199 a month but its button reads 'Get started for $149/mo + membership'
- Labs are not required to start treatment, according to the GLP-1 FAQ
- The non-branded semaglutide option is listed as flat-rate at every dose, with no price shown

Is Healthspan worth it?
What Healthspan is selling, in one line, is brand GLP-1s with lab tracking and coaching inside a longevity-focused membership. It runs $149/month (+ required membership); there's no clean category median to weigh that against, but it's a published number rather than one you find out only after signing up. Coaching and follow-up are part of the package, not an upsell.
On top of the core program, it includes coaching or dietitian support and takes HSA/FSA payment.
How much Healthspan costs
- Brand-name semaglutide runs $149–$199/month depending on plan, the low end a price plus a required membership, for that option.
- Brand-name tirzepatide runs $299/month (+ required membership), if you go that route.
- Brand-name orforglipron runs $149/month (+ required membership), at that tier.
- The brand-medication program fee (drug not included) runs $99/month (“starting at” price), for that option.
Because Healthspan's headline figure is a price plus a required membership, we don't set it against the roughly $185 market median for this category. That median is each program's lowest listed ongoing monthly price for compounded semaglutide, so compare Healthspan with the month-to-month prices of the alternatives below instead.
Sesame Care (about $149/month) is one of the closest alternatives to weigh Healthspan against.
Medications: what Healthspan prescribes
Healthspan prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic) and tirzepatide (the active drug in Zepbound and Mounjaro), the pair backed by the largest published weight-loss trials. These are dispensed as FDA-approved brand-name products rather than compounded formulations.
Who Healthspan is best for, and who should skip it
A good fit if you…
- want coaching and follow-up built into the price already, instead of sold separately as an upsell.
Look elsewhere if you…
- need to bill insurance, since like most of this market it's cash-pay with no claims filed on your behalf.
