Head to head for first-timers
CoreAge Rx vs BeyondMD
CoreAge Rx and BeyondMD both offer GLP-1 telehealth, but they make different trade-offs on how gentle the start is, honest pricing, real support and access. Here they are side by side on the Mama-Match Score — our first-timer rubric.

Mama-Match
Best for: Moms who want a clinician with a name and a face, coaching included, and the door open to a brand-name pen — and who will get the exact price in writing before saying yes.
Visit BeyondMDThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out BeyondMD on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 51 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
BeyondMD is still a genuine option — beyondMD publishes its price without asking you for anything first: from $125/mo for semaglutide and from $199 for tirzepatide, right there on every page. That alone puts it ahead of half this list. The fine print sits on a single page in the whole catalog, and it says the program cost runs from $139 to $449 a month, plus a $34 consultation fee. The start button isn't a cart either: it's a form for someone to call you, so your real number is quoted by phone. In its favor it has something almost nobody here offers: clinicians with names, credentials and bios, coaching and accountability included, access to a certified nutritionist, an order of Zofran for nausea, and brand-name Wegovy® and Zepbound® programs. Against it: its Terms contain not one word about refunds or about stopping. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #31 · Grade C
What we like
- Published prices for both molecules, with the same advertised amount at each dose
- The offer includes medication, consultation and shipping, without an advertised membership fee
- The legal footer identifies the platform and the entities responsible for clinical care
The caveats
- The main site and a separate offer page show different prices
- The FAQ and policy differ on automatic rebilling and denial refunds
- State restrictions; orders become final when sent to pharmacy, with a 30-day refund cutoff
Mama-Match
BeyondMD
Rank #211 · Grade C
What we like
- Its clinicians have names, credentials and full bios — John Marley Bernard Jr., MD, Hollie Ann Hall, APRN-C and Jordan Dorsey, NP, among eleven in all. Almost no other provider reviewed here does that
- Brand-name Wegovy® and Zepbound® have their own programs, from $129, correctly labeled as FDA-approved
- Coaching and accountability are included without being marked optional, alongside access to a certified nutritionist and an order of Zofran for nausea
The caveats
- From $125 is the floor, not the price. The site publishes the real range on a single page in the whole catalog: $139 to $449 a month, plus $34 for the consult. That's up to 3.2 times the headline.
- The start button leads to a form for someone to call you, not to a cart, and that form contains no figures at all. Your real price is quoted by phone, never on the web.
- Its Terms say nothing about refunds and nothing about how to stop: the word refund does not appear once in the 44 KB document. What they do contain is a clause asking you not to dispute the charge with your bank, binding arbitration in Kent County, Michigan, and a $500 liability cap.
