What they publish

RenewMD publishes 11 of 12 standard terms. Fields marked “not publicly disclosed” were not stated on the pages we captured, and we have not filled those gaps with assumptions. Compare disclosure across providers

Membership / programme fee

None — states there are no separate consultation, lab or shipping fees, and that the cycle price is all-inclusive (as published)

Medication cost

Compounded semaglutide injection published at $249 per 28-day cycle, oral semaglutide at $279 and compounded tirzepatide at $339, each stated to include the provider visit, medication, baseline and follow-up labs, coaching and shipping. Three, six and twelve-month commitments are offered at lower per-cycle rates (as published)

Introductory offer

Not publicly disclosed on the pages we captured.

Insurance

States it is a direct-pay programme requiring no insurance, prior authorisation or referral.

HSA / FSA

States many patients use FSA or HSA funds and that an itemised receipt is provided, while directing you to confirm eligibility with your benefits administrator.

Consultation process

Secure intake followed by licensed provider review of history and labs, with ongoing provider access and dedicated care coaching throughout the plan. Clinical care is stated to be delivered through OpenLoop Health.

Eligibility

States availability in 49 states and the District of Columbia, excluding Louisiana, and explains that this is a medication restriction rather than a provider one — that Louisiana law does not permit prescribing compounded medication through this telehealth pathway, and that compounded GLP-1s are the only medications the programme offers. Advises Louisiana residents to see a local provider about FDA-approved options.

Lab work

Included in every plan. States a provider orders baseline labs, typically a comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel, HbA1c and TSH, with follow-up labs also included and no separate lab fee.

Pharmacy fulfilment

States medication comes from licensed US compounding pharmacies regulated by state and federal authorities and following USP standards, and that it partners only with pharmacies conducting third-party testing. The pharmacies are not named.

Shipping

States medication ships every 28 days with no separate shipping fee.

Support services

States dedicated care coaching at no extra cost, ongoing provider access and secure portal access are included in every plan.

Cancellation

States you can pause or cancel between cycles by contacting support, with a published support email address.

Refunds

Refund terms were not published on the pages we captured.

What stands out

• Includes baseline and follow-up labs in the price and names the panels — CMP, lipid panel, HbA1c and TSH. Labs are the most common hidden cost in this market, and specifying which ones is rarer still.
• Publishes a price for each product rather than one 'from' figure, and converts them to a daily cost.
• Explains its Louisiana exclusion by the actual legal mechanism rather than simply listing the state as unavailable, and refers affected residents elsewhere for FDA-approved options. That is a provider telling a prospective customer to go somewhere else, with a reason.
• Names the clinical infrastructure provider, OpenLoop Health, rather than implying it employs the clinicians directly.
• States cancellation is by email between cycles, with the address published.
• Sells oral semaglutide as a liquid tincture and says so plainly — not a pill or tablet — which distinguishes it from the FDA-approved oral product.
• Coaching is stated to be included rather than an upsell.
• No refund policy is published, which is the main gap in an otherwise unusually complete set of disclosures.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

• Multi-month commitments lower the per-cycle price. What is refundable if you stop early, given no refund policy is published?
• The oral product is a compounded liquid tincture, not the FDA-approved oral semaglutide. What evidence is there that it is absorbed as intended?
• Which compounding pharmacy fills your prescription, and can you see its third-party test results?
• Are the included follow-up labs on a fixed schedule, and what happens if they show something needing further investigation?
• Compounded medication is not FDA-approved. Do you understand what that means for oversight and recourse?
