Telehealth Care Model

What a subscription actually provides clinically, and how programmes differ beneath the price.

Direct answer

What a subscription actually provides clinically, and how programmes differ beneath the price.

Every page in this section states what we could verify and what we could not. Where a programme publishes nothing, that absence is recorded rather than filled in.

For context: across 32 tracked tirzepatide telehealth programmes, 17 publish a price we could capture, and the cheapest verified all-in cost is $215 a month at a 10 mg maintenance dose — about $2,580 for a first year. Compounded preparations are not FDA-approved. Prices captured 2026-08-05.

What each tracked programme publishes about fulfilment and care model. “Not published” means we could not find it stated. Captured 2026-08-05.
