Graded on whether a price is published, checkable, and still true at month two — how we grade · how we verify prices
Push Health charges up to $69.99 for a clinician to review a GLP-1 request, a figure you only see at the end of its request form. You pay your pharmacy for the drug itself.
- No month-to-month price published
- Coverage not verified
The verdict
A no-subscription way to ask a clinician for a brand-name GLP-1 prescription. But the fee stays hidden until the last screen, and the drug, which is the expensive part, is priced nowhere on the site.

Pros and cons
What we like
- No subscription or membership: each request is paid for once.
- The fee is a hold that settles only if a clinician actually reviews your request and recommends care.
- You pick the pharmacy, a store near you or a mail-order option, so you can shop the drug price or use insurance.
- It prescribes the brand-name GLP-1s, including Zepbound and the Foundayo pill, and says plainly that compounded semaglutide is not the same as Ozempic.
- A written refund rule: cancel before a prescription is written and you get everything back.
- Most requests are reviewed within 24 hours, and same-day consults are offered for weight loss.
What could be better
- No public page names its own fee, despite a homepage promise of "100% price transparency".
- The fee appears only after the full request form, as a maximum that may cost less.
- The medication, the largest cost, is never priced.
- No compounded options for anyone priced out of brand-name drugs.
- No list of the states where its clinicians practice.
- The terms were last updated in January 2023 and send disputes to arbitration in Los Angeles County.
What it is
Push Health is a telehealth platform that connects you with a licensed clinician who can prescribe a GLP-1 when it is appropriate. It does not sell or ship medication. The prescription goes to a pharmacy you choose, and you pay that pharmacy for the drug. Much of the site is aimed at clinicians, who use it to run a virtual practice and set their own fee. The company is Push Health, Inc., based in El Segundo, California, and it has operated since 2013.
Its weight-loss pages cover brand-name drugs: Wegovy, Ozempic and Rybelsus (semaglutide), Zepbound and Mounjaro (tirzepatide), the Foundayo pill, Saxenda and some older options. It does not offer compounded versions, and its Ozempic page says plainly that compounded semaglutide is not the same as Ozempic. Controlled weight-loss drugs such as phentermine cannot be prescribed through it.

What it actually costs at Push Health
Up to $69.99 for the clinician's review, shown only at the end of the request form. The drug is extra, paid at your pharmacy.
No public page names Push Health's fee. Its FAQ says fees run "from $0 to a flat fee, depending on the service" and that costs are always clearly displayed, and the homepage promises "100% price transparency". We went through the GLP-1 request form to the price screen without paying. After you pick a pharmacy and enter your details, health history and the drug you want, it asks to pre-authorize "up to $69.99", which "may cost less, but will not cost more". The hold settles only if a clinician reviews the request and makes a recommendation.
That fee buys the consult, not the medicine. Push Health's own GLP-1 page says these drugs cost "from hundreds to thousands of dollars" out of pocket, and it leaves the real number to your pharmacy, your insurer or a maker's savings program. Our guides to what Zepbound costs without insurance and how GLP-1 prior authorization works cover that part of the bill.
There is no subscription; each request is paid for on its own. If you cancel before the clinician writes a prescription, you get a full refund. Once a clinician has acted on the request, the terms say the fee is not refundable.
Who it's wrong for
- Anyone who wants compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide. Push Health prescribes brand-name drugs only.
- Anyone who wants one price for the drug and the care. The drug is bought separately, and its cost is not on the site.
- Anyone who wants to see the fee before handing over health details. It appears only after the full request form.
- Anyone who wants a program with coaching and scheduled check-ins. Push Health sells one consult per request.
- Anyone who needs phentermine or another controlled weight-loss drug. Those cannot be prescribed through it.

The drug, the largest cost, is bought separately at your pharmacy and priced nowhere on the site. There is no subscription, and the refund rule before a prescription is written is clear.

We went through its GLP-1 request form to the price screen without paying.
Where each price comes from
- Service request glp 1 agonist 2919 page
Based on your request and location, we need to pre-authorize payment of up to $69.99. The consultation fees for this request may cost less, but will not cost more than the pre-authorized amount. Fees related to medication(s) prescribed are separate and paid directly to your selected pharmacy when receiving the medication(s). The pre-authorization will show as a pending charge that will only settle if a medical provider provides a consultation and care recommendation.
