Visit MedLeanRxThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out MedLeanRx 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.
MedLeanRx is still a genuine option — a Texas-only practice, strikingly careful about the distinction almost everyone blurs: its Wegovy pill tier says "$99/mo + medication cost", meaning the fee is the service and the medication is separate. Compounded semaglutide costs $149 a month, either as a weekly vial or as a needle-free daily tablet. Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound sit alongside, unusual at this price, though what they cost is not published. 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
MedLeanRx
Rank #214 · Grade C
What we like
- Says clearly that the Wegovy tier is "$99/mo + medication cost" rather than implying the fee covers the drug
- Offers FDA-approved Wegovy and Zepbound alongside the compounded options
- A needle-free daily oral semaglutide at the same $149 as the weekly injection
The caveats
- Texas only: the narrowest coverage on this page
- It does not publish the brand-name medication cost, so the total for Wegovy or Zepbound is unknown in advance
- Tirzepatide appears only as brand-name Zepbound; there is no compounded tirzepatide price
