This is not a promotion expiring or a prepay discount. One card gives one plan two prices, and the page then gives it two more further down. The two membership plans that include medication are stated consistently.

The verdict

One number covering the physician and the medicine, which almost nobody does. The third plan is priced four different ways on one page.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • The two main plans include the medication in the monthly figure, which most of this market does not do.
  • Dose is covered up to 2.4 mg of semaglutide and 15 mg of tirzepatide without a price change.
  • Five compounding pharmacies are named as columns of a per-fill table, with a price at every dose.
  • One physician is named with her board certifications and NPI, in the footer of every page.
  • The service area is two named states, published as a restriction rather than a licensing hedge.

What could be better

  • The a la carte plan carries four different prices on the pricing page alone.
  • No pharmacy is named for the two plans that actually include the medication.
  • The per-fill table spans a wide range at the same dose, and the page calls the pharmacies examples.
  • The $50 banner on every page is a Medicare copay, not this company's price.
  • The terms and the privacy policy carry dates four and a half months apart.

What it is

A two-state physician practice rather than a national platform: one named doctor, board-certified in obesity medicine, with her NPI printed in the footer of every page. That is a different shape from the anonymous prescriber pool most of this market runs.

Everything sold is compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide. Brand-name pens are reachable only through the third plan, where you buy the drug yourself, so the compounded-versus-brand choice changes which membership you need.

Texas and Utah, named. Not a claim about fifty states, not a count — the two states appear in the footer of every page and again in the legal block as a restriction.

What it actually costs at TOM Weight Loss

Basic is $199 a month and includes compounded semaglutide at any dose up to 2.4 mg a week. Premium is $249 and includes compounded tirzepatide up to 15 mg. Both cards say billed monthly, and the medication pages repeat the figures.

A membership that includes the drug is rare enough to be worth naming. Most sellers here charge a fee and leave the pharmacy bill to you — which is the failure mode a membership fee usually hides.

The third plan is another matter. The a la carte card says $150 a month in its headline and Billed $100 monthly four lines underneath. Two paragraphs later the page says $100 a month, and a footnote further down says $150 a month. Nothing reconciles them.

That plan's per-fill table is genuinely useful: five compounding pharmacies as columns, a four-week-supply price at every dose, semaglutide from $67 to $259 and tirzepatide from $118 to $549. Note the range — the same 10 mg tirzepatide fill is $199 at one pharmacy and $549 at another, which is the spread a headline price never shows you.

Who it's wrong for

  • Skip it entirely unless you are in Texas or Utah. Those are the only two states, stated as a restriction rather than a licensing hedge.
  • Do not budget from the a la carte headline. The same page gives that plan four prices, and you would want it confirmed in writing before you enroll.
  • Do not read the $50 banner as this company's price. It is a Medicare pharmacy copay under a claimed federal program, and the page says the physician care is a separate membership on top — which is why we read the page a banner links to.
  • If you want an all-in monthly figure without a state restriction, TeleClinic sells nationwide bar three states at $79 and $149.

Common questions

Does the TOM Weight Loss price include the medication?

On the two main plans, yes. Basic is $199 a month with compounded semaglutide included and Premium is $249 with compounded tirzepatide. The a la carte plan covers physician care only.

What does the a la carte plan cost?

The pricing page gives four answers. The card headline says $150 a month, a line inside the same card says $100, a paragraph below says $100, and a footnote says $150. Get it in writing before you enroll.

How much is the medication if I buy it myself?

The per-fill table lists five pharmacies with a four-week-supply price at every dose: semaglutide from $67 to $259 and tirzepatide from $118 to $549, on top of the a la carte membership.

Which states does TOM Weight Loss serve?

Texas and Utah only. Both are named in the footer of every page and repeated in the legal block as a restriction rather than a licensing hedge.

Is the $50 banner TOM's price?

No. It is a Medicare pharmacy copay under a claimed federal demonstration program. That page says the physician's care is a separate cash membership on top of it.

Why we gave TOM Weight Loss a B

Read the full grading rationale

The two membership plans do the thing almost nobody in this market does: one figure covers the physician, the plan and the medication together. Basic is $199 a month with compounded semaglutide included at any dose up to 2.4 mg a week; Premium is $249 with compounded tirzepatide up to 15 mg. Both are stated as billed monthly, on a dedicated pricing page, and corroborated on four city pages and both medication pages. The prescriber is one named physician with her board certifications and NPI printed in the footer of every page, the operating entity and a Houston street address are in both the terms and the privacy policy, and the state position is two named states rather than a claim about fifty. The third plan is where it slips. The a la carte tier — physician care only, medication billed by the pharmacy — is published at four different prices on one page: $150 a month in the card headline, $100 a month four lines below it in the same card, $100 a month again two paragraphs later, and $150 a month in the footnote under the per-fill table. Nothing reconciles them. That per-fill table is otherwise a genuine strength: five compounding pharmacies named as columns with a four-week-supply price at every dose, running from $67 to $259 on semaglutide and $118 to $549 on tirzepatide. No pharmacy is named for the two membership plans that actually include the drug. One more thing worth knowing: the $50 banner on every page is a Medicare pharmacy copay under a claimed federal demonstration program, not this company's price, and its own page says physician care is a separate membership on top. We searched FDA warning letters for Texas Obesity Medicine PLLC by domain and by that Houston address and found none.

Read the evidence

How we reviewed TOM Weight Loss

We read fifteen of the company's own pages: the pricing page, both medication pages, five city pages, the Medicare page, the terms, the privacy policy, the FAQ and the About page.

The four à la carte prices all appear on a single page, so they contradict each other there, not across an old and a new page.

Where each price comes from
  • Pricing page
    Basic $199/mo Billed $199 monthly Compounded semaglutide included
  • Medicare glp 1 bridge page
    A flat $50 for a 30-day supply, with no deductible. That's the pharmacy copay for the medication. TOM's physician care is a separate membership (see the question below).
