Read on 19 August 2026. Rivas Medical Weight Loss prices by the week, which nothing else here does, and converting the unit is the first thing to do: $115 a week for compounded semaglutide is about $500 a month, and $165 a week for tirzepatide about $717. On the three-month packages those fall to $450 and $645. That is between two and three times what the telehealth sellers on this page charge, and the weekly unit is what makes it hard to see. But what you are buying is not comparable, and the review should say so: the price is all-inclusive and covers a weekly in-person provider visit with vitals and a weigh-in — fifty-two appointments a year — plus the medication, the same at any dose, at one of fifteen clinics across Maryland and Virginia. A one-time $195 evaluation is described as a lifetime membership and is not charged again as long as you visit annually. I recalculated all four package discounts and each is exact to the cent. It also offers Wegovy and Zepbound at a $100 monthly follow-up and says plainly that the medication itself is paid for separately at the pharmacy. Cherry and CareCredit financing are available, HSA and FSA are accepted, and there are no contracts. It came back clean in the FDA warning-letter index, and its legal documents are unrelated to the four-brand group reviewed alongside it.
What to expect when you sign up
We walked Rivas Medical Weight Loss's public signup (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the process. We did not create accounts, enter medical information, or complete checkout, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient's outcome.
- 1The signup call to action leaves rivasweightloss.com for app.rivasweightloss.com, a separate host
What we noticed
- A monthly price is visible on the public homepage before any intake — you do not have to hand over information to see a number
- Intake is hosted on app.rivasweightloss.com, so the company you fill the form in with is not the domain you started on

What we like
- The price covers a weekly in-person visit with vitals and a weigh-in, not just the prescription
- The same at any dose, for both molecules
- I checked all four package discounts and they are exact to the cent
- Fifteen real clinics, and the $195 evaluation is not charged again if you visit once a year
- It says outright that the Wegovy and Zepbound visit fee does not include the medication
- Cherry and CareCredit financing, HSA and FSA accepted, no contracts
The caveats
- ⛔ Quoting by the week conceals a monthly cost of about $500 and $717
- That is between two and three times what the telehealth sellers on this page charge
- It only works if you can genuinely attend every week
- The in-person program covers Maryland and Virginia only
- The $195 first visit has to be in person
- It names no pharmacy
Rivas Medical Weight Loss for moms: our verdict
$115 a week, about $500 a month — but it buys a weekly in-person visit with vitals and a weigh-in, at fifteen clinics in Maryland and Virginia. It runs about $500/mo — pricier than the category, so the extras have to earn it.
We looked at Rivas Medical Weight Loss the way moms actually have to: not just the monthly cost, but the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start — the parts a generic weight-loss review skips.
What Rivas Medical Weight Loss actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Per weekly in-person visit, the same at any dose: $500/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Per weekly in-person visit, the same at any dose: $717/mo
- Brand-name tirzepatide — Zepbound — visit fee only: $100/mo
For context, the typical ongoing price on our list is around $179/mo, so Rivas Medical Weight Loss sits at the pricier end.
That price covers the consult, the medication and labs.
The medications Rivas Medical Weight Loss prescribes
Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists semaglutide and tirzepatide. Offering both gives a prescribing clinician options, but PCOS or a history of gestational diabetes alone does not establish which medication is right for you. It can point you toward FDA-approved brand-name medications as well as the compounded versions — approved products carry the manufacturer's own pregnancy and breastfeeding label, which is cleaner to hand to an OB-GYN.
Where it operates. Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists its coverage as: Fifteen locations across Maryland and Virginia.
Where Rivas Medical Weight Loss fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you want to discuss the right timing around pregnancy and nursing with the prescribing clinician; confirm who provides your care and how questions are handled.
- you want to discuss both semaglutide and tirzepatide with your prescribing clinician.
Look elsewhere if…
- you need to bill insurance — like almost all of this market, it's cash-pay.
Trust, safety and oversight
Before choosing Rivas Medical Weight Loss, confirm the dispensing pharmacy and the clinician responsible for your prescription. Public information alone does not establish the quality of care you will receive. As with any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing moms can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription and what's in the formula — we explain how we score oversight in our scoring methodology.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding need separate discussions with your clinician. GLP-1 weight-loss treatment is not recommended during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, the exact drug and formulation matter: Wegovy tablets are not recommended because of the SNAC absorption ingredient. Injectable semaglutide and tirzepatide labels call for weighing benefits, risks and the limits of infant-safety data; they do not establish that treatment is safe for every nursing parent. Compounded products do not inherit FDA approval from the branded drug. Discuss your own medication and timing before starting or changing treatment.
The bottom line
Rivas Medical Weight Loss is a reasonable option — weigh it on the right timing around pregnancy and nursing and honest, clear pricing from the start against the alternatives below. For moms comparing another compounded offer, CoreAge Rx describes prices and terms to confirm for the selected dose and plan.
The bottom line
Best for: A mom near Maryland or Virginia who wants to be seen every week rather than sent a vial every month.
