Basal Health, answered
Is Basal Health legit?
Basal Health 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. It doesn't publish whether it dispenses compounded or brand-name medication, so ask which one you're being prescribed.
How much does Basal Health cost?
Basal Health doesn't publish a clear compounded-semaglutide price up front. You'll typically see full pricing after the intake questionnaire. Get the all-in monthly number in writing before you pay.
Does Basal Health ship to my state?
Yes — Basal Health reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.
Basal Health vs MDExam — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Basal Health at 47/100 and MDExam at 47/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Basal Health is the better fit for people who want metabolic-framework GLP-1 tracking insulin, lean mass and VO2 max. MDExam suits people who want mainstream telehealth GLP-1 access. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
