Our Evaluation Criteria
We evaluate each GLP-1 provider across five key dimensions. These criteria are weighted based on what matters most to patients seeking safe, affordable access to weight loss medications.
1. Pricing Transparency
We assess the total monthly cost including medication, consultation fees, and any required memberships. Providers that clearly display their pricing without hidden fees score higher in our rankings.
2. Medical Oversight
We verify that each provider works with licensed physicians who conduct appropriate medical evaluations. Providers should assess patient health history, contraindications, and provide ongoing medical support throughout treatment.
3. Pharmacy Verification
We only include providers that source medications from verified 503A or 503B compounding pharmacies, or that dispense brand-name FDA-approved medications. We verify pharmacy licensing and quality standards.
4. Support Quality
We evaluate the availability and responsiveness of customer support, including how easy it is to reach a real person, response times for questions, and access to medical staff for clinical concerns.
5. Cancellation Policies
We review each provider's commitment requirements, cancellation process, and refund policies. Providers with flexible, patient-friendly policies score higher.
About Affiliate Relationships
Weight Loss Provider Guide earns affiliate commissions when readers visit provider websites through our links and make purchases. However, our rankings and recommendations are not influenced by these relationships. We rank providers based solely on the criteria described above.
Commission rates vary between providers, but a higher commission does not result in a higher ranking. Our goal is to help you find the best provider for your needs, not to maximize our affiliate earnings.
How We Stay Current
The GLP-1 telehealth market changes rapidly. We regularly review and update our provider comparisons to reflect current pricing, policies, and availability. Each comparison page displays the date it was last verified.
