MyStart Health review
The price is guaranteed never to rise, and the month it applies to is four weeks.
The verdict
MyStart Health charges a flat $299 for either molecule and promises the figure will never rise, even as the dose does. The monthly plan ships a four-week supply, and thirteen of those fit inside a year. That makes a calendar month $324.

MyStart Health is a platform that connects patients to independent providers and pharmacies for compounded GLP-1 treatment. Semaglutide and tirzepatide are both offered. One program price covers either.
Who writes the prescription, and what do they see?
A licensed clinician reviews the intake quiz and either writes the prescription or books a video visit, usually within a day. Payment is taken after the quiz and before that clinical review. A patient deemed ineligible is refunded.
One all-inclusive program covers consultations, unlimited clinician access, medication, bloodwork and shipping. Monthly plans auto-bill and auto-ship each month. A three-month plan ships its whole supply at once.
What happens when the dose goes up?
The rate is stated as never increasing from the base plan amount, even if the dose rises in later months. That is an unusually firm commitment in this category. Dose changes can be discussed with a clinician at no extra charge.
What the price includes
The program starts at $299 a month before discounts, and the FAQ describes the monthly shipment as a four-week supply. Thirteen four-week shipments land in a calendar year, so the program costs $324 a month. Per-plan pricing beyond the starting figure is gated behind the intake quiz.
What it claims, and what it cites
The GLP-1 lines are compounded rather than manufactured, prepared in US facilities described as meeting USP standards. The FDA does not review a compounded preparation before it is dispensed. No pharmacy is named.
Where it holds up, and where it does not
- Strength: The rate is guaranteed not to rise with the dose
- Strength: Bloodwork, shipping and unlimited clinician access included
- Strength: Same figure for either molecule
- Strength: A refund is promised if a provider declines
- Limitation: A shipped order cannot be refunded under any circumstance
- Limitation: The hero says no membership fees and the refund policy calls it a membership
- Limitation: Payment is taken before the clinical review
- Limitation: Plan-level pricing appears only after the quiz
What the evidence says about this kind of treatment
The assessment above is about MyStart Health. These are about the drugs it sells, and they are traced to the primary literature.
- Right for
- A buyer who expects to titrate high and wants the rate frozen first.
- Wrong for
- A buyer who needs to be able to send a shipment back.

- Is $299 a calendar month?
- The monthly plan ships a four-week supply rather than a calendar one. Thirteen of those fall inside a year, which is $324 a month.
- Does the price rise as the dose does?
- MyStart states it does not. The price of medication and ongoing care is described as never increasing from the base plan amount.
- Is there a membership fee?
- The homepage says there is none. The refund policy describes the same charge as a membership fee and refuses refunds for partially completed membership periods.
- Is MyStart Health expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers?
- MyStart Health publishes a starting figure of $324/mo. Across the 225 GLP-1 telehealth sellers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $76 to $399 with a median of $179, which puts MyStart Health above the median. The other 18 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.
