Boston Medical Group review
A men's health telemedicine brand selling compounded GLP-1s on a four-rung plan ladder, with the one-month plan selected by default.
The verdict
Boston Medical Group's store preselects the one-month plan, which costs $190 for compounded semaglutide and $239 for compounded tirzepatide, and it states that the figure does not change as the dose climbs. The lower numbers on the same selector, down to $99 and $149, belong to a twelve-month plan billed as $1,188 or $1,788 in one charge.

Boston Medical Group describes itself in its footer as a men's health network for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, and its storefront still lists those treatments ahead of weight loss, testosterone, NAD+ and PT-141. The weight-loss product is a single page with a switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide and a plan selector beneath it. The company calls itself a marketplace that connects patients with independently licensed providers.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
The prescriber is an independent licensed provider, and the company says every clinical decision is that provider's alone and that payment does not guarantee a prescription. In California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont the FAQ names the physicians a patient will be assigned, Dr Jeffrey Shellenberger and Dr Marc Serota, with a license number beside each state. Elsewhere the reviewing doctor is not named, and some states require a video visit or live chat before a prescription is finalized.
A patient answers a medical questionnaire, uploads a photo ID and a picture of themselves as state rules require, and hears back from a doctor within about 24 hours. Each shipment carries four weeks of medication with syringes and alcohol pads, the card is charged when the order ships, and the company says it makes contact before each refill is billed. Reordering and canceling both happen inside the patient account.
What happens when the dose goes up?
The store states its pricing rule plainly: the rate is set by which GLP-1 is prescribed, and whether the provider raises the dose or holds it, the monthly charge stays the same. For a patient moving from a starting dose toward maintenance over the first four months, the bill should read the same at each step. The store prints no milligram schedule, though an older program page on the main domain lays out a semaglutide ladder from 0.25 mg weekly to 2.5 mg over twenty weeks.
What the price includes
Semaglutide is $190 for one month, $399 for three, $714 for six and $1,188 for twelve, and tirzepatide is $239, $589, $1,074 and $1,788 on the same terms. The per-month equivalents printed on the longer plans fall as low as $99 and $149, which is what a buyer sees if the eye goes to the smallest number rather than the selected one. Older SlimFitRx pages on the main domain still quote $199 to $299 a month plus a telemedicine platform fee, and they do not match the store.
What it claims, and what it cites
Both drugs are compounded, and the store says compounded medications are not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or efficacy and are prepared by licensed 503A compounding pharmacies. The FAQ names two pharmacies that may fill a prescription depending on the therapy, Manifest Pharmacy in Greer, South Carolina, and RX Compounding Store in Miami. The older program FAQ adds that its compounded version carries vitamin B6 against nausea.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: One-month plan preselected at checkout
- Strength: Price stated not to change with dose
- Strength: Two dispensing pharmacies named with addresses
- Strength: Physicians named for four states
- Limitation: Longer plans billed as one upfront charge
- Limitation: Reviewing doctor unnamed in most states
- Limitation: Older program pages quote conflicting prices
- Limitation: No milligram schedule on the store page
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about Boston Medical Group. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A buyer who wants the one-month price fixed across every dose, and the dispensing pharmacy named before paying.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who needs a named prescriber outside California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont.

- Is Boston Medical Group's semaglutide $99 a month?
- Only on the twelve-month plan, which is billed as $1,188 in one charge, while the plan the store selects by default is one month at $190.
- Does the price go up with the dose?
- No, according to the store, which says the monthly rate depends only on which GLP-1 is prescribed, whether the provider raises the dose or keeps it where it is.
- When is the card charged?
- When the medication ships, per the FAQ, and the company says it contacts the patient before each refill is billed so there is a chance to cancel first.
- Is Boston Medical Group expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- Boston Medical Group publishes a starting figure of $190/mo. Across the 273 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $399 with a median of $179, which puts Boston Medical Group above the median. The other 19 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
