Best for: Gym-goers who want lab-guided GLP-1 dosing aimed at keeping muscle, and are comfortable paying a premium for bloodwork and unlimited visits.
MatchScript's take: Labs, unlimited visits and a fixed price at every dose — but $299 a month is a premium, and cancel well ahead of renewal.

What we found on their site
Read on Apex MD's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The program page prices the "ONGOING CARE MEMBERSHIP" at "SEMAGLUTIDE $299 /mo All doses included" and "TIRZEPATIDE $399 /mo All doses included", followed by "Rate locked for as long as you stay."
- Its FAQ answers "Am I locked into a contract?" with "No. ApexMD does not lock you into long-term contracts." and says quarterly labs are "included with your subscription at any Labcorp".
- The same FAQ says of sourcing: "We only use LegitScript-certified, FDA-regulated pharmacies", without naming a pharmacy.
What we like
- One fixed monthly price at every dose — $299 for semaglutide, $399 for tirzepatide — with no separate membership fee
- Quarterly bloodwork at Labcorp, unlimited provider visits and a direct messaging line are included
- You can meet an Apex MD physician within 48 hours of purchase, with scheduled quarterly reviews
- Also offers daily oral dissolvable tablets of semaglutide and tirzepatide as $249-a-month microdose formulations
- If the physician does not approve you, your money is returned or credited
The caveats
- At $299 and $399 a month it sits well above many compounded programs
- Its GLP-1s are compounded with B-12 rather than sold as single-ingredient semaglutide or tirzepatide, and are not FDA-approved
- Renewal continues unless you cancel at least 30 days before the renewal date, and fees are non-refundable after the first 30 days
- No state list is on the page — its terms say service is available only in certain states — and no pharmacy is named
- The oral tablets are microdose formulations, not the full weight-loss program

Apex MD, answered
Is Apex MD legit?
Apex MD is a real, operating GLP-1 telehealth program. LegitScript certification is the third-party check worth asking for — look for the seal on their site and confirm your prescriber is US-licensed at intake. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved.
How much does Apex MD cost?
Apex MD lists compounded semaglutide from $299/mo and tirzepatide from $399/mo — above our category median of $190/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review; confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Apex MD ship to my state?
Apex MD doesn't publish a full state list, so confirm your state is covered during intake before you pay.
Apex MD vs Direct Meds — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Apex MD at 68/100 and Direct Meds at 68/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Apex MD is the better fit for gym-goers who want lab-guided GLP-1 dosing aimed at keeping muscle, and are comfortable paying a premium for bloodwork and unlimited visits. Direct Meds suits people who want a needle-free sublingual semaglutide option or a quick start, and who are fine learning the tirzepatide price during intake. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data come from Apex MD's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology. Commercial facts only — prices change, so confirm on Apex MD's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
Apex MD is a physician-led wellness company that frames its GLP-1 program around losing fat without losing muscle. You pay one fixed monthly price at every dose — $299 for compounded semaglutide, $399 for tirzepatide, both blended with B-12 — and that covers the medication, quarterly Labcorp bloodwork, unlimited provider visits, messaging and an AI tracking app. You can see a physician within 48 hours, and there is no separate membership. The downsides are cost and terms: these prices are high for compounded medication, renewal runs unless you cancel 30 days ahead, fees are not refunded after the first month, and no state list or pharmacy name is published. It suits someone who wants labs and frequent provider contact built in. Bottom line: more care per dollar than most, but more dollars too.
