PreventiveMD review

Written by Elena Voss, Metabolic Health Editor

Elena Voss is a mother writing for mothers, not a treating clinician, and holds no medical license. Prices and terms come from the company's own published pages. This is background reading, not medical advice.

"As low as $83/mo, all-in" is $999 paid up front, divided by twelve. Month to month is $119. The honest thing to say next is that $119 is still cheaper than most providers we review, 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 on our weighted six-factor framework. Commissions don't change a provider's score.

True monthly cost40/100 · Weak

Cost is unpredictable or sits at the premium end.

Postpartum & breastfeeding guidance52/100 · Weak

No postpartum or breastfeeding framing — a generic weight program.

PCOS & hormonal fit50/100 · Weak

Thin on the hormonal picture that drives many mothers' weight.

Ongoing support56/100 · Weak

Support is thin once the prescription ships.

Clinical oversight & labs58/100 · Weak

Oversight and lab support fall short of the best on our list — the review below says exactly where.

Cancellation fairness54/100 · Weak

Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.

How we checked this review

Compounded semaglutide is $119 for a one-month supply and tirzepatide $139 — both comfortably below the typical price we track, 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 page divides each plan's total by its months and shows the smallest result. The same prepay-derived figure is also what the page reports to search engines as its monthly price, and the on-page pricing table can show "Loading pricing…" instead of prices, so it is hard to check any of this 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.

Worth knowing

  • 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

Pricing

MedicationPricePlan
Compounded semaglutide$119Injection, one-month supplyThe month-to-month price from the seller's own pricing API. The page advertises "As low as $83/mo, all-in", which is the $999 twelve-month supply divided by twelve.
Compounded tirzepatide$139Injection, one-month supplyMonth to month. The advertised "$97/mo" is the $1,168 twelve-month supply divided by twelve.
Compounded semaglutide$83Injection, 12-month supply$999 paid up front. This is the figure the site headlines and the figure it publishes in its Offer markup as a monthly price.
Brand tirzepatide$49Zepbound — membership fee only"$49/mo membership fee + medication starts at $299/mo". The $49 is all the seller charges; the medication is billed separately by LillyDirect, and the $299 comes from a fallback in the site's code rather than its price API.

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 the typical price we track — 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 can show "Loading pricing…" instead of prices, so the real tiers are not always readable 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

The lowest advertised amount requires a year of payment

PreventiveMD's compounded injection catalog distinguishes actual month-to-month prices from its lowest advertised equivalents. Semaglutide costs $119 for one month, with options of $286 for three months, $536 for six and $999 for twelve. Tirzepatide costs $139 for one month, $334 for three, $626 for six and $1,168 for twelve. The approximately $83 and $97 monthly headlines come from dividing the annual totals by twelve. They are useful measures of a commitment, but they are not the amount charged for a flexible single month.

The difference is substantial for someone deciding whether to try an unfamiliar clinic. Paying $999 or $1,168 before treatment is a different financial decision from authorizing $119 or $139 at a time, even when the longer term lowers the average. Keep the full payment, intended medication supply and renewal schedule together when comparing plans. The public catalog provides enough information to make that distinction, while the page's lowest-price presentation can make it easier to overlook. The appropriate comparison depends on the commitment the patient is actually willing to make.

Brand-name access carries a separate medication charge

PreventiveMD also offers branded treatment pathways with a $49 monthly membership fee. That is the service charge, while the medication is billed separately through the manufacturer's pharmacy. It should not be presented as a $49 all-inclusive GLP-1 plan. Nor should a displayed manufacturer starting price be assumed to apply at every dose or under every eligibility condition. Request the named product, formulation, current pharmacy charge and service fee together before comparing this pathway with a compounded injection subscription.

Other treatments appear in a similar “as low as” format, including GHK-Cu, glutathione, NAD+ and sermorelin. Their amounts do not establish any semaglutide or tirzepatide price and do not make them required additions to a weight program. For someone seeking a single prescription, a written quote with only the intended treatment is the clearest starting point. Any proposed adjunct should have its own clinical explanation, charge and stopping terms, rather than being bundled into the decision because it shares the same storefront.

Eligibility and monitoring need their own conversation

The company identifies itself as PreventiveMD, Inc., and its Terms name LocumTele, LLC as a participating medical group. That gives more organizational detail than an anonymous prescribing site. State coverage remains less specific: the service is for US residents and requires the patient to be in the shipping-address state at consultation, without publishing a complete state list. That rule matters to a mother temporarily staying with relatives or planning a move. Confirm eligibility in the actual consultation location before completing the application.

PreventiveMD says labs are not required to start. That is an entry policy, not a promise that testing will never be appropriate or that another clinician's monitoring can be ignored. Ask how medical history, reproductive plans and existing care affect evaluation, and who manages follow-up after prescribing. The long prepaid terms also make refund and cancellation details especially important. PreventiveMD can offer a comparatively modest single-month price, but the decision should use the selected payment term, the correct brand-versus-compounded costs, and an understandable plan for monitoring and ending service.

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.

    Visit ShedRx
  • FDA warning letter #728279 (June 2026), which names Eden's website — read that first. Then read the price twice: the advertised $99 is medication alone, with a required $99-a-month membership on top.

PreventiveMD, answered

How much does PreventiveMD cost?
At last review, PreventiveMD's lowest ongoing compounded rate was about $119/mo — $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?
None of these drugs is established as safe in pregnancy, so stopping before you try to conceive is the usual plan. Nursing is less clear-cut. The Wegovy injection, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro labels have little or no breast-milk data and ask you and your clinician to weigh the benefits of breastfeeding against how much you need the drug. Compounded versions carry no label of their own; ask the prescriber directly how they handle nursing patients. PreventiveMD is not an exception to any of that — 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.
How does PreventiveMD score for mothers?
PreventiveMD scores 52/100 on our Metabolic-Fit Score, a weighted read of six things mothers actually have to care about. CoreAge Rx, a featured partner, is worth a side-by-side look.

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.
