CoreAge Rx vs MD Exam
CoreAge Rx and MD Exam both offer GLP-1 telehealth to women, but they make different trade-offs on PCOS and hormonal suitability, clinical oversight, price and access. Here they are side-by-side on the Metabolic-Fit Score — our women's-health rubric.

Visit MD ExamThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out MD Exam on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 42 (A− vs C). Mothers who want a fixed monthly price, a real clinician rather than an intake quiz, and uninterrupted nationwide access to both semaglutide and tirzepatide while they work out the timing around pregnancy or weaning.
MD Exam is still a genuine option — two businesses are described on this one site. The homepage sells a flat program — "as low as $225 per month, which includes telemedicine visits, nutrition and exercise coaching, and medication." The FAQ says it accepts most major insurance, that your cost depends on your plan, and explains how to fax your insurance details in. Nothing reconciles them. The same page also carries two different Miami addresses and two different support addresses. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same women's-health rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A−
What we like
- A single flat monthly rate — no teaser first month that jumps at the first refill
- A prescriber reviews your history and will actually talk through timing if you're postpartum, nursing, or planning another pregnancy
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one chart, so switching molecules doesn't mean switching providers
The caveats
- Not the lowest sticker price — a couple of budget compounders come in under it
- Compounded only; there's no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound lane here
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB or hormone practice
Metabolic-Fit / 100
MD Exam
Ranked #171 · Grade C
What we like
- $225 a month including medication would sit at the affordable end of this roster
- Nutrition and exercise coaching are described as part of the program rather than as add-ons
- It engages with insurance at all, which most of this cash-pay market declines to
The caveats
- ⛔ A flat cash program and an insurance-billing model are described on the same site with nothing to reconcile them
- ⛔ Two different Miami addresses and two different support email addresses appear on one page
- Its claim that the active ingredient "has always been available" is the seller's own and is not what the FDA shortage record shows
