Best for: People in one of its 31 states who are happy to buy a set block of weeks of medication up front rather than subscribe month to month.

MatchScript's take: Prepaid packages with the dose schedule spelled out and a named pharmacy — good if you like buying in blocks, awkward if you want a monthly plan.

The factor breakdown

Care Clinics on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.

Budget Fit48/100

Prices are fixed-length packages (4 weeks to 6 months) rather than a monthly plan, so Budget Fit takes the unpriced score of 48.

Speed to Start58/100

Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 58 on Speed to Start.

Formulary Match66/100

Care Clinics does not have a confirmed oral or brand-name option in our comparison, for a below-par 66 on Formulary Match.

Support Level64/100

Support Level scores 64/100 in our comparison. Confirm who answers clinical questions, how to reach them and whether follow-up visits cost extra.

Flexibility60/100

Flexibility scores 60/100 in our comparison. Check the renewal, cancellation and refund terms before paying; dose changes require a prescriber's approval.

Transparency72/100

Package prices, dose schedules, served states and a dispensing pharmacy are all published; a month-to-month price is not.

For a fair comparison, check the full cost of semaglutide or tirzepatide, including care fees, dose changes and the amount due at each renewal.

What we found on their site

Read on Care Clinics's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.

  • Asked which pharmacy fills prescriptions, the FAQ says the provider "will send prescription to 503 A FDA registered Pharmacies such as Partell Pharmacy."
  • On fees it states "There's $40 deposit to book consultation with doctor. It goes towards final price."
  • The semaglutide page advertises "Only $259 for 7 weeks" and "Only $299 for 3 month"; the tirzepatide page reads "Only for $329" with "Include 4 weeks medication".

What we like

  • Package prices are printed on the site, with the medication, consultation, supplies and shipping included
  • Names a dispensing pharmacy, Partell Pharmacy, a 503A compounding pharmacy
  • Each package spells out its dose schedule week by week, and extended packs let you order four to six months at your current dose
  • No membership and no subscription to cancel — you buy a package when you need one
  • Lists every state it serves, plus a phone number for booking help

The caveats

  • No month-to-month price: semaglutide is sold as a 7-week package ($259) or a 3-month package ($299), and tirzepatide as a 4-week package ($329) or a 3-month package ($399)
  • Higher prices apply in California, which the clinic says is because few pharmacies can ship compounded semaglutide there
  • A $40 deposit is needed to book the video consultation, and the visit is by audio and video
  • Serves 31 states plus Washington, D.C., so many people cannot use it
  • Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved, and there is no needle-free or brand-name option

Care Clinics, answered

Is Care Clinics legit?

Care Clinics 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 Care Clinics cost?

Care Clinics 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 Care Clinics ship to my state?

Care Clinics operates in a limited set of states (31 states + DC). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.

Care Clinics vs System Labs — which should I pick?

They score within a few points of each other: Care Clinics at 61/100 and System Labs at 61/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Care Clinics is the better fit for people in one of its 31 states who are happy to buy a set block of weeks of medication up front rather than subscribe month to month. System Labs suits people mainly interested in NAD+, sermorelin or glutathione who may also ask about a GLP-1, rather than people shopping for a GLP-1 first. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.

Verdict · Grade C · 61/100

Care Clinics is a small telehealth clinic that sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide in packages rather than subscriptions. Semaglutide comes as a 7-week starter package for $259 or a 3-month escalating-dose package for $299; tirzepatide as a 4-week package for $329 or a 3-month package for $399, with extended four-to-six-month packs at higher doses. Each price includes the video consultation, medication, supplies and shipping, and the clinic names Partell Pharmacy as a dispensing pharmacy. Because nothing is billed month to month, there is no standing monthly price to compare, and the right package depends on your dose. Booking takes a $40 deposit, California costs more, and the clinic serves 31 states plus Washington, D.C. Bottom line: a fair fit if you are in a covered state and prefer to pay for a set course up front.
