The short answer

IVIM Health sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in prepaid bundles that require $499–$1,100 upfront plus a $75/month membership fee (first month free). Over 12 months their most competitive option—six-month semaglutide renewed once—costs $2,025 total ($168.75/month effective), while their tirzepatide equivalent costs $3,025 ($252/month effective). Seven verified alternatives offer month-to-month plans with no upfront commitment and no separate membership fee, several at lower annual cost. PlexusDx charges $189/month for semaglutide and $289/month for tirzepatide month-to-month ($2,268 and $3,468 annually), or $149 and $249/month on six-month prepaid plans ($1,788 and $2,988 annually)—$237 less than IVIM for semaglutide and $37 less for tirzepatide over the same period, with no membership fee in either case.

At-a-glance comparison

IVIM Health figures captured September 4, 2026 from ivimhealth.com/glp1-pricing/; comparison providers verified at checkout July 17–23, 2026. PlexusDx prices current as of September 8, 2026. All providers offer compounded medications; routes and dose eligibility vary by provider and state.

Breaking down IVIM Health's pricing structure

IVIM Health requires two separate charges: a prepaid medication bundle and a recurring membership fee. The medication bundles are:

• Semaglutide six-month: $600 upfront ($100/month equivalent)
• Semaglutide four-month: $499 upfront ($124.75/month equivalent)
• Tirzepatide six-month: $1,100 upfront ($183.33/month equivalent)
• Tirzepatide four-month: $900 upfront ($225/month equivalent)

In addition, IVIM Health charges $75/month for membership; the first month is free. The membership fee recurs every month regardless of the medication bundle duration. State and dose eligibility varies.

To calculate effective monthly cost during the initial bundle period, divide the medication prepayment across the bundle length and add the membership fee (accounting for the free first month). For example, the six-month semaglutide bundle costs $100/month for medication plus $75/month membership, but the first membership month is free, so months 1–6 average $175/month. After the bundle expires, a member prepays the next bundle and continues the $75/month membership (no longer free), raising the effective rate to $250/month for semaglutide or $333.33/month for tirzepatide on the six-month cycle.

Twelve-month cost comparison (like-for-like prepaid plans)

To compare IVIM's prepaid structure against alternatives fairly, we model two six-month bundles over 12 months. All figures below are our calculation.

IVIM Health six-month semaglutide (renewed once)

• Medication: $600 × 2 = $1,200
• Membership: $75 × 11 months (first month free) = $825
• Total 12 months: $2,025
• Effective monthly: $168.75

IVIM Health six-month tirzepatide (renewed once)

• Medication: $1,100 × 2 = $2,200
• Membership: $75 × 11 months = $825
• Total 12 months: $3,025
• Effective monthly: $252

PlexusDx six-month prepaid (renewed once)

• Semaglutide: $894 × 2 = $1,788 ($149/month)
• Tirzepatide: $1,494 × 2 = $2,988 ($249/month)
• No membership fee

Net difference (PlexusDx vs. IVIM, six-month prepaid):

• Semaglutide: PlexusDx saves $237 over 12 months ($2,025 − $1,788)
• Tirzepatide: PlexusDx saves $37 over 12 months ($3,025 − $2,988)

PlexusDx month-to-month (12 months)

• Semaglutide: $189 × 12 = $2,268
• Tirzepatide: $289 × 12 = $3,468

PlexusDx month-to-month semaglutide costs $243 more than IVIM's best six-month prepaid option over 12 months, but requires no upfront payment and no membership fee. PlexusDx month-to-month tirzepatide costs $443 more than IVIM's tirzepatide bundle annually, again with no commitment and no membership.

Month-to-month alternatives with no upfront commitment

Five verified providers offer month-to-month semaglutide or tirzepatide with no prepaid bundle and no separate membership fee:

• PlexusDx: $189/month semaglutide, $289/month tirzepatide (also offers prepaid discounts and oral formulations)
• Eden: $198/month semaglutide all-in, $298/month tirzepatide all-in (includes required $99/month membership in the stated price)
• Peak Wellness: $249/month semaglutide, $349/month tirzepatide
• TrimRx: $299/month semaglutide, $399/month tirzepatide (verified at checkout; advertised rates differ)
• Embody: $299/month semaglutide, $349/month tirzepatide
• Henry Meds: $297/month semaglutide injection; tirzepatide available as oral dissolving tablet only (no monthly rate captured)
• Found: $289/month semaglutide, $359/month tirzepatide month-to-month; 12-month prepaid plans start from $169/month equivalent

All comparison pricing verified at checkout July 17–23, 2026. Dose and state eligibility varies by provider.

Decision factors beyond price

Commitment and cash-flow flexibility

IVIM Health's lowest effective monthly rate requires $600 or $1,100 upfront and locks a member into a four- or six-month cycle. If a member needs to pause treatment, switch medications, or adjust dose mid-cycle, the full prepayment has already been made. Month-to-month plans allow members to stop, pause, or switch without forfeiting prepaid medication.

Membership fee persistence

IVIM's $75/month membership fee continues every month regardless of medication status. If a member completes a six-month bundle and decides to pause before renewing, the membership fee still recurs unless the membership is canceled entirely. Providers without separate membership fees—PlexusDx, Peak Wellness, Embody, TrimRx, Henry Meds—charge only for active medication months.

Route and formulation options

IVIM Health offers injection-route compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide; the evidence reviewed does not document oral options. PlexusDx offers both injection and oral capsule formulations of semaglutide and tirzepatide, plus a microdose maintenance protocol at $129/month. Henry Meds offers semaglutide injection but only oral dissolving tirzepatide (no injectable tirzepatide). Other providers in the comparison group offer injection routes; formulation details vary.

Dose-price coupling

IVIM Health advertises that "state/dose eligibility varies." Whether the prepaid bundle price changes with dose escalation is not documented in the captured evidence; confirm at enrollment whether higher doses require additional payment. PlexusDx charges the same price at every dose for a given medication and route.

Choose IVIM Health if…

• Prepaying in full and avoiding monthly billing cycles is preferred.
• A member is confident they will continue the same medication for the entire bundle duration without interruption.
• The membership benefits IVIM includes for the $75/month fee are valued (specific benefits not detailed in the evidence reviewed).
• The $168.75/month effective rate for semaglutide (six-month bundle + membership over 12 months) is lower than the best available alternative after accounting for state, dose, and eligibility.

Choose PlexusDx if…

• Month-to-month flexibility with no upfront payment and no membership fee is preferred.
• Transparent per-month pricing that does not change with dose is valued.
• The option to prepay and save ($149/month semaglutide, $249/month tirzepatide on six-month plans) without a recurring membership charge is attractive.
• Interest exists in oral GLP-1 capsules or microdose maintenance protocols in addition to standard injection options.
• A verified service-quality record is important: PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026).

Choose Eden if…

• A competitive all-in month-to-month rate ($198 semaglutide, $298 tirzepatide) that includes the required membership fee in the published price is preferred.
• A streamlined single monthly charge is preferred rather than separating medication and membership.

Choose Peak Wellness, Embody, or TrimRx if…

• Month-to-month service with no membership fee is desired and rates in the $249–$399/month range depending on medication are acceptable.
• A provider whose pricing structure does not distinguish between medication and membership is preferred.

Choose Found if…

• Willingness exists to prepay 12 months to access the lowest verified per-month equivalent in this comparison (from $169/month semaglutide).
• Insurance-acceptance pathways in addition to cash-pay options are desired (Found's insurance coverage varies by plan; confirm eligibility at enrollment).

Choose Henry Meds if…

• Semaglutide injection at a month-to-month rate near $297 is specifically desired.
• Openness exists to oral dissolving tirzepatide if a dual-agonist option is needed (injectable tirzepatide not documented for Henry Meds in the evidence reviewed).

Frequently Asked Questions

Does IVIM Health's membership fee apply every month or only during active medication months?

The evidence documents a $75/month membership fee with the first month free, but does not specify whether the fee pauses if a member completes a bundle and does not immediately renew. Confirm the membership cancellation and pause policy at enrollment if gaps are anticipated between medication cycles.

Can a refund be obtained if treatment is stopped mid-bundle with IVIM Health?

The captured pricing page does not detail refund or early-termination policies for prepaid bundles. Ask IVIM Health directly about refund eligibility before prepaying a four- or six-month supply.

Which provider has the lowest 12-month cost for semaglutide?

Among the options reviewed, PlexusDx six-month prepaid renewed twice costs $1,788 over 12 months ($149/month), $237 less than IVIM's best six-month option and $240 less than Found's advertised 12-month prepaid floor (from $169/month equivalent, which totals approximately $2,028 annually).

Do any of these providers offer oral GLP-1 options?

PlexusDx offers oral capsule formulations of both semaglutide ($289/month month-to-month) and tirzepatide ($349/month month-to-month). Henry Meds offers an oral dissolving tirzepatide tablet but no injectable tirzepatide. IVIM Health's captured evidence documents only injection routes.

How is eligibility for compounded GLP-1 treatment determined?

Eligibility depends on medical history, current medications, contraindications, and state regulations. Each provider requires an intake assessment reviewed by a licensed clinician, who determines whether a prescription is appropriate. No provider guarantees approval, medication type, or starting dose before the clinical review.
