Provider review
Boston Medical Group review
Advertises one monthly figure, and its own footnote prices twelve weeks higher.
It publishes what the wider market costs and states doses in mg per week — both rare. Its headline rate excludes a platform fee the asterisk adds back.

In one paragraph
The verdict
Two things here are better than average and one is worse, and they are worth separating. Better: this is one of very few sellers that will tell a reader what the wider market costs, quoting the brand-name products in the thousands per month and non-brand programs at a few hundred. That gives someone a frame of reference instead of only a sales figure, and most of this category would rather you had no frame at all. Better again: treatment is described in named phases with doses stated in milligrams per week, so a reader can see an initiation dose set against a maintenance one — genuinely useful detail, and rarer here than it ought to be. Worse: the headline price does not survive its own footnote. The site advertises starting from a monthly figure, and the asterisk attached prices a complete twelve-week program at a total working out roughly a third higher per month, because a telemedicine platform fee sits on top of the medication line. None of that is concealed — it is written on the same page — but it is written in the footnote while the headline carries the smaller number, and the headline is what a reader remembers.
Microdosing is off-label and unproven — decide with a clinician. Prices are as published by the provider when we last checked; confirm current terms before you buy.
Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You want to see what the wider market charges, not just this provider.
- You want doses stated in milligrams per week across named treatment phases.
- You would rather the platform fee be disclosed on the page than at checkout.
Look elsewhere if
- You budget from headline figures. This one excludes a fee its own footnote adds.
- You are comparing monthly rates. The twelve-week total works out well above it.
- You want the compounding pharmacy named.
What it actually costs
Price as published
"Get started for as little as $199/month" carries an asterisk, and the asterisk says: "a complete 12-week program totals $699 ($199/month + telemedicine platform fee)" · twelve weeks is under three months, so $699 across it is roughly $233 a month — the advertised figure is the medication line only and the platform fee is charged on top of it, which the headline does not say and the footnote does · ★ it publishes market context most sellers avoid: brand-name Ozempic or Wegovy quoted at $1,000 to $4,000 a month, and non-brand programs at $399 to $499 · ★ it also describes treatment in phases — an initiation phase, a therapeutic phase and a maintenance phase — and states doses in mg per week (2–2.5 mg/week against a standard 1–1.5 mg/week), which is more dose detail than most of the field publishes
- Vs median
- Not comparable — the published figure is not the whole bill — a membership, platform fee or separate medication charge sits on top of it
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Standard plan, self-directed low dose
No low-dose product of its own. Starting low means asking for a smaller amount inside a standard plan, at the standard plan's price.
152 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. The advertised monthly figure excludes a telemedicine platform fee that its own footnote adds back, so the headline is the medication line rather than the bill. ★ It states doses in mg/week across initiation, therapeutic and maintenance phases — more dose detail than most here. No low-dose product is offered.

How the program works
Two things here are better than average and one is worse. Better: this is one of very few sellers that will tell a reader what the wider market costs, quoting brand-name products at a thousand to four thousand dollars a month and non-brand programs at a few hundred, which gives someone a frame of reference rather than only a sales figure. Better again: it describes treatment in phases and states doses in milligrams per week, so a reader can see what an initiation dose is against a maintenance one — genuinely useful, and rarer than it should be. Worse: the headline price does not survive its own footnote. The site advertises starting from a figure per month, and the asterisk attached to it prices a complete twelve-week program at a total that works out closer to a third more per month, because a telemedicine platform fee sits on top of the medication line. Nothing about that is hidden — it is written down, on the same page — but it is written in the footnote and not in the headline, and the headline is the number a reader carries away.
The honest cons
The advertised monthly figure excludes a platform fee that its own footnote adds back.
- The twelve-week total works out well above the headline rate per month.
- No compounding pharmacy is named.

Intentional GLP-1 microdosing is off-label and unproven — no randomized trial has established that a sub-label dose does anything, and any dose belongs with a clinician who knows your history. If you are going to have that conversation, have it with real numbers.
