Pros and cons

What we like

  • The checkout lays out the monthly, three-month and six-month rates side by side, each with its savings.
  • The price includes the medication and doesn't change with the dose.
  • Its terms give a street address in Virginia Beach.

What could be better

  • No product page prints a price, and the homepage's only figure is a first-month discount.
  • The intake says "YOU'RE APPROVED" before any clinician review, and the checkout adds a 15-minute countdown.
  • Its patient counts disagree: "1,743+" on the homepage, "7,200+" at checkout.
  • It names no pharmacy and no medical group.
  • Three different cancellation rules on three surfaces.

What it is

A Virginia Beach telehealth brand selling compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide, a lower-dose microdose program and an oral option, with a peptide catalog beside them. The company is New Wave Health LLC, at a Kempsville Road address in Virginia Beach. It describes itself as a platform that connects patients with independent providers and pharmacies, and it names neither.

What it actually costs at New Wave Health

No product page prints a price, and the homepage's only figure, "Plans from $149/mo", is the first month with $100 off.

At the checkout, compounded semaglutide is $249 a month, with the first month at $149. A three-month plan brings it to $219 a month and six months to $189. Tirzepatide runs $299, with a $199 first month, $269 on three months and $239 on six. The microdose program is $199 and the oral option $229. That $149 headline is a first-month price, not a monthly one.

The checkout also put a 15-minute "Approval expires" countdown above the plans.

Who it's wrong for

  • Skip it if you want a clinician's judgment before a sales pitch. The intake said "YOU'RE APPROVED" and "You're pre-approved" before anyone had reviewed our answers; the checkout says the physician review starts after you pay. That's backwards from how telehealth prescribing should run.
  • Skip it if you want to know which pharmacy compounds your medication. None of the 11 pages we read names one.
  • Skip it if you might cancel early. The checkout says cancel anytime, the product FAQ says 30 days' notice, and the terms say 48 hours before the billing date.

Common questions

How much does New Wave Health cost?

Compounded semaglutide is $249 a month after a $149 first month, and tirzepatide $299 after a $199 first month. Three- and six-month plans lower the monthly rate.

Is New Wave Health's $149 price monthly?

Only for the first month. It's $100 off, and every month after that is $249 on the monthly plan.

Does New Wave Health approve you before a doctor reviews your answers?

Its intake says "YOU'RE APPROVED" as soon as you submit your answers. The checkout then says a physician reviews your information after you pay.

Which pharmacy does New Wave Health use?

It doesn't say. None of the 11 pages we read names a pharmacy or a medical group.

Does New Wave Health serve patients outside Virginia?

It says so. Its homepage FAQ claims all 50 states, and its product pages say Virginia and the states where its providers are licensed. It names none.

Why we gave New Wave Health a C

Read the full grading rationale

New Wave Health prices compounded semaglutide at $249 a month and tirzepatide at $299, with $100 off the first month, but only 29 screens into its intake; the homepage's “Plans from $149/mo” is that discounted first month. The intake says “YOU'RE APPROVED” before any clinician has looked, then adds a 15-minute countdown. It names no pharmacy or medical group, and its cancellation rules differ from page to page.
