What we write about a provider is the same either way, providers we have a commercial relationship with are listed first on most boards, and every Match Score is computed from the six published factor sub-scores regardless. See our disclosure.

New Wave Health is a Virginia Beach telehealth offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, an oral GLP-1, a microdose program and peptides such as tesamorelin and sermorelin, with a pitch built around nutrition, movement and sleep rather than the prescription alone.

MatchScript's take: New Wave Health has low posted starting prices and a whole-health angle, but it is one of several storefronts on the same platform as RX Bella.

The factor breakdown

New Wave Health on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.

Budget Fit48/100

Its lowest tier isn't clearly disclosed puts Budget Fit at a below-par 48 — above the budget tiers.

Formulary Match83/100

New Wave Health adds an oral/sublingual route on top of injectables, for a solid 83 on Formulary Match.

Support Level72/100

Support lands at a below-par 72 — lighter, meds-first support.

Flexibility72/100

Flexibility scores a below-par 72 — fewer levers to flex your plan.

Transparency42/100

Thinner public disclosure than the highest-scoring programs keeps Transparency at a below-par 42.

What we found on their site

Read on New Wave Health's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.

  • The weight-loss list reads "Semaglutide Injection" "from $139/mo", "Tirzepatide Injection" "from $149/mo", "GLP-1 Oral" "from $229/mo" and "GLP-1 Microdose" "from $199/mo".
  • Peptides on the same page are listed as "Tesamorelin" "from $299/mo", "Sermorelin" "from $249/mo" and "NAD+" "from $199/mo".
  • The page invites you to "Start a specific treatment, or take a short assessment and we'll show you everything you qualify for."

What we like

  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, an oral GLP-1 and a microdose, with starting prices posted for each
  • Tesamorelin, sermorelin, NAD+ and PT-141 are available from the same account
  • A Virginia Beach office address and a direct phone number are published
  • Its FAQ says no long-term commitment is required, and service covers all 50 states
  • The program pairs the prescription with nutrition, movement and sleep guidance

The caveats

  • The site prints $139 for semaglutide and $149 for tirzepatide as starting or "as low as" figures with no plan length, so the month-to-month price isn't known until intake
  • It runs on the same platform as RX Bella — the same site design, eligibility tool, FAQ answers and disclaimer, shared with Eviora MD and Helix Wellness Rx — so these are not independent alternatives
  • Only "from" floors are posted, on its peptides page; the treatment pages show no dollar figure and read "AVAILABLE BY CONSULTATION"
  • Its "1,743+ Patients supported" figure and its six first-name testimonials, several in identical wording, also appear on Eviora MD
  • The compounding pharmacies are never named, and the footer says the platform does not practice medicine
  • The oral GLP-1 (from $229) and microdose (from $199) start higher than the full-dose injections

New Wave Health, answered

Is New Wave Health legit?

New Wave 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 New Wave Health cost?

New Wave 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 New Wave Health ship to my state?

Yes — New Wave Health reports availability in all 50 states, so most people can start within days.

New Wave Health vs SkinnyRx — which should I pick?

They score within a few points of each other: New Wave Health at 64/100 and SkinnyRx at 64/100, so neither wins on the headline number. New Wave Health is the better fit for a reader in Virginia or beyond who wants a whole-health plan around the medication and will confirm the real monthly figure after review. SkinnyRx suits shoppers who want a tablet as well as an injection on either molecule, and who will get the month-two price in writing before paying. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.

Pricing & state data come from New Wave Health'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 New Wave Health's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.

Verdict · Grade C · 64/100

New Wave Health is a Virginia Beach telehealth offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, an oral GLP-1, a microdose program and peptides such as tesamorelin and sermorelin, with a pitch built around nutrition, movement and sleep rather than the prescription alone. Its posted starting prices are low — semaglutide from $139 a month, tirzepatide from $149 — and its FAQ says no long-term commitment is required. Keep two things in mind. Those are floors: the treatment pages show no price and say "available by consultation". And the site runs on the same platform as RX Bella, sharing its design, eligibility tool, FAQ answers and disclaimer with Eviora MD and Helix Wellness Rx, including the same patient count and testimonials as Eviora. It suits a reader who confirms the actual monthly price after review.
