Best for: Adults in its four states — especially women in midlife — who want a provider they see by video, with coaching and hormone care alongside weight loss.
MatchScript's take: A video-visit practice in four states with brand, compounded and oral options — budget for visit fees on top of the medication.
The factor breakdown
FormidableMD on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
Medication is priced per vial with visit fees on top, so there is no all-in monthly figure; Budget Fit sits at the unpriced default of 48.
Four states only, and appointments are typically one to two weeks out, so Speed to Start is 40.
Both molecules in compounded and FDA-approved form, plus oral options and peptides, for 90.
Support Level scores 85/100 in our comparison. Confirm who answers clinical questions, how to reach them and whether follow-up visits cost extra.
Flexibility scores 70/100 in our comparison. Check the renewal, cancellation and refund terms before paying; dose changes require a prescriber's approval.
Visit fees and per-vial medication prices are published, but the combined monthly cost and the pharmacies are not.

What we found on their site
Read on FormidableMD's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The medical care page lists "$199 initial consultation" and "$99 follow up visit", then a medication list reading "Semaglutide 1mg - $169" up to "10mg - $269" and "Tirzepatide 10mg - $199" up to "40mg - $319".
- It says "We offer oral medication options as well as semaglutide or tirzepatide injections including FDA approved or compounded options."
- Its FAQ answers the states question with "Currently, we serve Florida, Georgia, New York and New Jersey."
What we like
- Real video visits with a provider: monthly follow-ups for the first three months, then every three months
- Offers FDA-approved brand-name medication through insurance where covered, compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide where not, and oral medication options
- Publishes its visit fees and a per-vial medication price list before you book, with no membership or commitment
- Weight-loss coaching, hormone therapy, peptides and labs are available from the same practice
The caveats
- No all-in monthly price: the $199 first visit and $99 follow-ups are billed on top of medication, which is priced per vial
- Telehealth care covers only Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and New York
- Appointments are usually available within one to two weeks, so starting is slower than an online form
- A $75 fee applies if you cancel an appointment within 48 hours, and labs and coaching cost extra
- The compounding pharmacies are not named

FormidableMD is closer to a small medical practice than a subscription: you book a video visit, see a provider, and follow up monthly for the first three months. It serves Florida, Georgia, New Jersey and New York, and it can prescribe FDA-approved semaglutide or tirzepatide through insurance where covered, compounded versions where not, or an oral option. The costs are published but split: a $199 first visit and $99 follow-ups, plus medication priced per vial ($169 to $269 for semaglutide, $199 to $319 for tirzepatide), plus any labs. That makes the real monthly cost hard to pin down before your first visit. Appointments take one to two weeks, and a late cancellation costs $75. If you live in its four states and want an ongoing relationship with a provider, plus coaching and hormone care, it is a thoughtful option.
