PreventiveMD review
"As low as $83/mo, all-in" is $999 paid up front, divided by twelve. That is not an inference — the site's own code takes the cheapest tier's total, divides by its month count, and prints the smallest result it finds, and its price API returns $999 for the twelve-month semaglutide supply. Month to month is $119. The honest thing to say next is that $119 is still cheaper than most of this roster, so the problem is the advertised number rather than the price behind it.

How we scored PreventiveMD
Every factor comes from PreventiveMD's own published pricing, disclosures and oversight, and the six combine into the 52/100 Metabolic-Fit Score by the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.
No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.
Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
Oversight and lab support fall short of the top of this roster — the review below says exactly where.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

Read on 18 August 2026, including the site's own pricing API. Compounded semaglutide is $119 for a one-month supply and tirzepatide $139 — both comfortably below this roster's median, which is the first thing to say. The advertised figure is a different number. Every protocol page headlines "as low as $83/mo, all-in", and that is the $999 twelve-month supply divided by twelve; the bundle that renders it takes each tier's total, divides by its month count, and prints the smallest result. The same prepay-derived figure is published in the page's Offer markup as a monthly price, which is the first time on this roster that this trap has reached the machine-readable layer. The on-page pricing table is a script and shows "Loading pricing…" without JavaScript, so none of this is checkable from the page itself. Four non-GLP-1 treatments carry prices in the same component and are not GLP-1 figures. The brand-name tiers are a $49 membership with medication billed separately by the manufacturer's pharmacy. Neither PreventiveMD, Inc. nor its medical group, LocumTele, LLC, has an FDA warning letter.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked PreventiveMD's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. We don't create accounts, enter medical data, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1The signup call to action stays on preventivemd.com (https://www.preventivemd.com/#process)
What we noticed
- The intake runs on Healthie rather than on the provider's own software
- No monthly price is visible on the public homepage; the number appears only after you begin the intake

Many HSA and FSA plans cover GLP-1 telehealth — check yours. These figures are what PreventiveMD's own site disclosed at last review; this market re-prices often, so confirm the current number at the source.
What we like
- $119 a month, month to month, is well below this roster's median — and $139 for tirzepatide is lower still relative to the field
- Publishes a real machine-readable price catalog, so every tier can be checked rather than guessed
- Names its participating medical group, LocumTele, LLC, in its Terms
- Says plainly that the brand-name tiers are a membership fee and that the medication is billed separately by the manufacturer's pharmacy
- No labs are required to start, and it says so rather than leaving it to the intake
The caveats
- ⛔ The advertised "$83/mo, all-in" is a twelve-month prepay divided by twelve; the month-to-month price is $119
- ⛔ That prepay-derived figure is also published in the page's structured data as a monthly price, where search engines read it
- The on-page pricing table is a script that shows "Loading pricing…" to anyone without JavaScript, so the real tiers cannot be read from the page
- Four non-GLP-1 treatments carry "as low as … all-in" prices in the same component, which is easy to misread as a GLP-1 figure
- The "$149" and "$299" brand medication figures come from a fallback in the site's code rather than from its price catalog
- No state list is published
PreventiveMD for mothers: our verdict
"As low as $83/mo, all-in" is $999 paid up front, divided by twelve. That is not an inference — the site's own code takes the cheapest tier's total, divides by its month count, and prints the smallest result it finds, and its price API returns $999 for the twelve-month semaglutide supply. Month to month is $119. The honest thing to say next is that $119 is still cheaper than most of this roster, so the problem is the advertised number rather than the price behind it. It runs about $119/month — toward the affordable end of what we track.
We weigh PreventiveMD the way mothers actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance — the parts a general weight-loss roundup leaves out.
What PreventiveMD costs, in full
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, one-month supply: $119/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection, one-month supply: $139/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection, 12-month supply: $83/mo
- Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound — membership fee only: $49/mo
That sits below the roughly $179 median ongoing price across the providers we track for mothers — a real cost advantage.
PreventiveMD says the price covers the provider visit, the medication and shipping. That is the comparison that matters at this price: two providers a few dollars apart can differ by a hundred a month once the extras are counted, so line up what each one bundles before you decide.
The medications PreventiveMD prescribes
PreventiveMD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the largest published weight-loss effects, and carrying both on one account matters when insulin resistance, common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes, makes tirzepatide the better-suited option. Brand pens are available here alongside the compounded versions, and the on-label products come with the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling — easier to hand to an OB.
Where PreventiveMD fits — and where it doesn't — for mothers
A good fit if…
- the monthly cost is a real barrier and you want a low, predictable number.
- switching between semaglutide and tirzepatide may become necessary as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you'd rather a prescriber talk through timing around postpartum and breastfeeding timing — that is the ground our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built on.
Oversight, safety, and what we could verify
Everything PreventiveMD states publicly checked out at last review: pricing, pharmacies and clinical network were all verifiable. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing mothers can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formulation — we explain how we weigh oversight in our scoring methodology.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the timing decision belongs to you and your clinician.
The bottom line
PreventiveMD is a genuine value play — weigh it on postpartum and breastfeeding timing and PCOS and insulin resistance against the alternatives below. For most mothers, CoreAge Rx remains the stronger all-round fit — see why it tops our ranking.
The bottom line for mothers
Best for: A mother who wants one of the lowest real month-to-month prices available and is content to ignore the figure on the label.
Alternatives to PreventiveMD
Providers we have a referral relationship with, ordered by their Metabolic-Fit Score — highest first. This module leaves out the provider whose page you are reading, so on CoreAge Rx's own review our #1 pick is the one name you will not find here. These are not the whole roster: see the full ranking for every provider we cover, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge Rx92
Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge RxOur #1 pickOne flat price, both molecules on a single chart, and a prescriber who reads your history before writing — the most predictable place for a mother to start and, just as important, to pause.
- Visit Gala Health84
Metabolic-Fit / 100
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it doesn't name.
- Visit Enhance MD81
Metabolic-Fit / 100
One of the more oversight-forward compounded programs here — lab work and a live provider visit bundled into every plan, with a gentle microdosing tier — the catch is that the low '$212' headline you'll see quoted is the 12-month prepay rate, not the $249 you'd pay month to month.

Head-to-head & alternatives
PreventiveMD, answered
- How much does PreventiveMD cost?
- At last review, PreventiveMD's lowest ongoing compounded rate was about $119 a month — $119/mo month to month for semaglutide, $139/mo month to month for tirzepatide. This market re-prices often, so check the current all-in figure at the source before committing.
- Is PreventiveMD safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Nothing in this class — compounded or brand — has been established as safe in pregnancy or lactation, and every label advises against use. PreventiveMD is not an exception to that. Plan a GLP-1 for after weaning and settle the timing with your own clinician.
- Does PreventiveMD offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — PreventiveMD offers both molecules. Tirzepatide's dual GIP/GLP-1 action is often preferred where insulin resistance drives weight, which matters for PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does PreventiveMD rank for mothers?
- PreventiveMD scores 52/100 on our Metabolic-Fit Score and sits at #66. That score is a weighted read of six things mothers actually have to care about. CoreAge Rx currently leads it — see how they compare.
Pricing, states and verification reflect PreventiveMD's public disclosures at last review; the Metabolic-Fit Score is our editorial judgment per the published methodology. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See our medical disclaimer and how we're funded.
