TeleClinic review
"The price you start with is the price you keep" — and directly above that sentence, on the same screen, a table reading "Intro rate (first quarter) $139/mo · Standard rate $199/mo." Both cannot be true. The bullets below suggest what was meant — that the price will not rise when your dose does — but that is me interpreting, not the site saying. Which is a shame, because the rest is well built: flat pricing at every dose, 47 states with the three exceptions named openly, and a pharmacy they are willing to name.

How we scored TeleClinic
Each factor is judged from TeleClinic'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.
Wide coverage, though not confirmed in every state.
Canceling carries real friction — commitments, notice windows or non-refundable charges.
The start feels transactional — more cash register than welcome.
Little public detail about who oversees your care, and how.
Support is thin once the prescription ships.
How we verified this review

Read from TeleClinic's own pages in August 2026. Compounded semaglutide starts at $79 for the first month, or $179 for the first three; tirzepatide is $149 and $399. The homepage shows an intro rate of $139 a month becoming a standard rate of $199 — while that same page, and the treatment pages, promise that the price you start with is the price you keep. Those claims contradict each other, and the $199 standard rate is never attributed to a specific drug. The price does not rise with dose, TeleClinic serves 47 states (not California, South Carolina or New Jersey), and names Rush Pharmacy as its 503A compounding pharmacy.

What we like
- The price genuinely does not rise with dose — "Same price at every dose", "Dose increases, price stays the same" — which is exactly the cost that catches people out as they titrate up
- Publishes the full state list: 47 served, naming California, South Carolina and New Jersey rather than letting you discover it at checkout
- Names its compounding pharmacy, Rush Pharmacy, and describes it as licensed 503A
- "Not prescribed? You're not charged", and the refund policy backs it: five business days if you were already charged
- The refund policy is unusually specific about damaged shipments, broken cold chain and pharmacy errors
The caveats
- The site contradicts its own central promise: the treatment pages say "your rate is locked for the life of your membership" while the homepage shows $139/mo turning into $199/mo after the first quarter
- "No hidden fees" and "Price includes everything: consultation, medication, shipping" sit beside a refund policy that contemplates a separate consultation fee if your state requires one
- The $199 standard rate is never tied to a particular drug, so neither semaglutide nor tirzepatide has an ongoing price of its own published
- The $79 and $149 are first-month rates; the three-month options are prepaid totals
- Trial results for the brand-name drugs — 15% for semaglutide, 20 to 22% for tirzepatide — appear on pages selling compounded versions that were never in those trials
- Two different support phone numbers appear on the site
TeleClinic for moms: our verdict
"The price you start with is the price you keep" — and directly above that sentence, on the same screen, a table reading "Intro rate (first quarter) $139/mo · Standard rate $199/mo." Both cannot be true. The bullets below suggest what was meant — that the price will not rise when your dose does — but that is me interpreting, not the site saying. Which is a shame, because the rest is well built: flat pricing at every dose, 47 states with the three exceptions named openly, and a pharmacy they are willing to name. The advertised starting price is $79, but the regular rate settles nearer $199/mo — so read the headline as an intro offer, not as the monthly cost.
We looked at TeleClinic 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 TeleClinic actually costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Standard rate (no drug named): $79 to start, then $199/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — First three months, prepaid: $59.67/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — Standard rate (no drug named): $149 to start, then $199/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — First three months, prepaid: $133/mo
That's roughly in line with our list's median of ~$179/mo.
TeleClinic prices flat across doses, so it doesn't climb as your dose does — which matters, because most women spend months titrating up.
That price covers the consult, the medication and shipping.
The medications TeleClinic prescribes
TeleClinic 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. These are compounded formulas from a licensed pharmacy — the reason the price stays low — but compounded GLP-1s are not FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are.
Where it operates. TeleClinic lists its coverage as: 47 states — not California, South Carolina or New Jersey.
Where TeleClinic fits — and where it doesn't — for moms
A good fit if…
- you may need to switch between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and your hormones change.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand-name pen with its own pregnancy and breastfeeding label.
- you'd rather have a clinician talk the timing through with you, with the right timing around pregnancy and nursing in mind — that's what our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built for.
Trust, safety and oversight
Our confidence is moderate — the core data holds up, but some details (state availability, program mechanics) aren't fully public. 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.
A standing caution for moms: GLP-1 medications are not proven safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every label advises against use. None of this changes that — plan the timing with your own healthcare provider.
The bottom line
TeleClinic 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: If what you want is a price that will not move as your dose climbs, and you have understood that the intro rate is not the part that is locked.

TeleClinic, answered
- How much does TeleClinic cost?
- As of our last review, TeleClinic's compounded pricing starts around $199/mo ($199/mo standard rate, with no drug named semaglutide, $199/mo standard rate, with no drug named tirzepatide). Confirm the current all-in price on TeleClinic's site before you commit.
- Is TeleClinic safe to use while breastfeeding?
- Here is the honest answer: no GLP-1 — compounded or brand-name — is established as safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and the labels advise against use; TeleClinic is no exception. Plan any GLP-1 for after weaning, and talk the timing through with your own clinician.
- Does TeleClinic offer both semaglutide and tirzepatide?
- Yes — TeleClinic offers both. Tirzepatide's dual action is often preferred when insulin resistance is driving the weight, which matters with PCOS and after gestational diabetes.
- Where does TeleClinic land in your ranking?
- TeleClinic scores 55/100 on our Mama-Match Score (rank #168), which weights six things that matter to a first-timer. Our #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, leads the ranking — see how they compare.
