Provider review
Cora Health review
Same price at any dose — and the headline rate is a year paid up front.
A quarter dose is billed like a full one, in the company's own words. The figure in the headline is the twelve-month rung, and the month-to-month rate is far higher. What it does publish, though, it publishes completely.

In one paragraph
The verdict
Take a quarter dose here and you pay what a full dose costs — "Same Price, Any Dose" is Cora's own phrasing, repeated in its FAQ. So if you are taking less to spend less, this structure gives you nothing back. What it does better than almost anyone is show its work: every rung of both ladders on one page with the total charge and the interval beside each, two named compounding pharmacies, a named prescribing practice with an address, and a certification number you can check. That is the disclosure a reader deserves even when the answer is unwelcome. Two things will cost you if you misread them. The headline figure is the twelve-month rung, charged as a single payment, and month to month is far higher. And a page that promises no "starting at" pricing runs exactly that phrasing on its homepage.

Who it suits, and who it does not
A good fit if
- You expect to titrate upward and want the price to hold still while you do
- You want the whole ladder in the open before you hand over a medical history
- You want the dispensing pharmacy named, and named specifically enough to look up
- You can pay a full year in one charge to reach the lowest rung
Look elsewhere if
- You are taking less to spend less — a quarter dose is billed exactly like a full one
- You are budgeting from the headline figure. That is a year paid up front, not a monthly rate
- You want a separately priced low-dose product rather than a smaller amount of the standard plan
- You need to know whether a month means four weeks or a calendar month before committing
What it actually costs
Price as published
Compounded semaglutide $175/month and compounded tirzepatide $225/month billed monthly, one price at every dose — "Same Price, Any Dose … Your medication costs the same regardless of dosage adjustments" · semaglutide prepay rungs $145/mo billed $435 every 3 months, $120/mo billed $720 every 6 months, $99/mo billed $1,188 every 12 months · tirzepatide $199/mo ($597 quarterly), $175/mo ($1,050 semi-annual), $135/mo ($1,620 annual) · $15 off the first month with a sitewide code · the homepage headline "starting at $99/month" is the twelve-month prepay rung, 77% below the month-to-month rate and charged as one payment
- Vs median
- $6/mo above the $169 median across the 242 of 373 programs we track that publish a plain monthly rate
- Market
- $59–$1300/mo is the full published spread in our ranking
- Structure
- Same price at every dose
One figure regardless of how much drug you take. Reassuring if you expect to titrate upward, and the least economical structure on this page if you do not: a quarter dose costs what a full one does.
88 of the 373 programs we track price a small dose this way. One figure covers every dose, stated twice on the site and confirmed in the FAQ. Nothing gets cheaper by taking less; the only lever is the length of the commitment, and the deepest rung is a full year paid in one charge.

What it does well
- Publishes every rung of both ladders on one page with the total charge and the billing interval beside each — the fullest price disclosure among the providers here
- Names two compounding pharmacies with accreditation and location, and says the medication label identifies which one filled your order
- States the flat-dose rule twice — as a numbered feature and again in the FAQ, where it says there is no per-dose escalation
- Names the prescribing practice, its medical director and a contact address
- Carries a LegitScript seal number (49690100) that resolves to a live record
- Answers whether you can resume at your current dose, which is the question a reader already taking a low dose actually has
- Cites STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-1 and then says plainly that its compounded product is not the medication those trials tested

How the program works
Cora Health is a direct-to-consumer telehealth service selling compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide across all 50 states, with every rung of both price ladders published openly rather than held behind an intake. It names two PCAB-accredited compounding pharmacies — Hallandale Pharmacy in Fort Lauderdale and VialsRx — and says the medication label identifies which one filled the order. The prescribing practice is named with an address: Wasef Health, PC, care of Michael Wasef MD in Pinellas Park, Florida. It displays a LegitScript seal number, and cites the STEP 1 and SURMOUNT-1 trials while disclosing that its compounded product is not the medication those trials studied.
The honest cons
ONE PRICE AT EVERY DOSE: "Same Price, Any Dose … No surprise increases." A quarter dose of semaglutide is billed the same $175 as a full one
- THE $99 HEADLINE IS A TWELVE-MONTH PREPAY. The month-to-month rate is $175, 77% higher, and the $1,188 is charged as a single payment
- Its own plans page promises "no hidden fees, no 'starting at,' no surprises", and the homepage headline is "starting at $99/month"
- The "$15,000/year saved" comparison is computed against the twelve-month rung, not the month-to-month rate a new patient pays
- Whether a monthly charge ships four weeks or a calendar month of medication is not published
- No low-dose or microdose product is priced separately, so there is no cheaper rung for someone taking less
- Compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved, and intentional microdosing is off-label and unproven

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.
