How we scored Rivas Medical Weight Loss
Each factor is judged from Rivas Medical Weight Loss's actual pricing, disclosures and support, then combined into the Mama-Match Score of 55/100 using the same weighted six-factor framework we apply to every provider — never influenced by whether a provider pays us.
The cost is unpredictable, hidden behind a quiz, or in the premium range.
Coverage is limited or gated behind a signup.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
Named clinicians with real, verifiable oversight — not just an intake form.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.

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 prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two molecules with the strongest published weight-loss results, and having both on one account matters when insulin resistance (common with PCOS and after gestational diabetes) makes tirzepatide the better fit. It can point you toward FDA-approved brand-name pens 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 a real clinician who reads your history with the right timing around pregnancy and nursing in mind, not a questionnaire that approves you automatically.
- you may need to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you need to bill insurance — like almost all of this market, it's cash-pay.
Trust, safety and oversight
Our confidence in Rivas Medical Weight Loss's public data is high — the pricing, the pharmacies and the clinical network were all verifiable at our last review. 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.
One line that applies to every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use. This is a review of a commercial program, not a green light — the decision about timing is yours and your healthcare provider's.
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 most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the best choice overall — see why it tops our ranking.
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.
