Visit TeleSlim ClinicThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out TeleSlim Clinic on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 52 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
TeleSlim Clinic is still a genuine option — i want to be clear about what the $99 buys, because I read it wrong the first time. It buys the clinic: three named physicians, dietitians, an exercise physiologist and even cognitive behavioral therapy, across six states they do list. It does not buy the medication. They write you a prescription and what it costs is nowhere on the site. There is also a menu link reading "Pricing dummy" that somebody forgot to fill in. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

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
TeleSlim Clinic
Rank #209 · Grade C
What we like
- It lists the six states instead of saying "nationwide"
- Three named physicians, plus dietitians, an exercise physiologist and cognitive behavioral therapy
- It publishes every subscription tier: $99 a month up to $899 a year
The caveats
- ⛔ The medication has no price anywhere, so $99 is the start and not the total
- A menu item reading "Pricing dummy" is live on the site
- The weekly dietitian and exercise sessions cost extra and nobody says how much
