The factor breakdown
Nova MD on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
Month-to-month semaglutide at $175 sits in the $151–175 band, so Budget Fit is 62; the $129 rate needs a quarterly prepay.
Same-day doctor visits, provider review usually within one business day and free overnight shipping, but tirzepatide does not reach 15 states.
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, plus sermorelin, NAD+ and glutathione; no brand-name or oral GLP-1.
Same-day care-team messaging, unlimited follow-ups and a member community.
Pause or cancel from your account 48 hours before renewal; a filled order cannot be refunded.
Monthly and quarterly prices, the pharmacies, tirzepatide's state exclusions and the operating company are all published.

What we found on their site
Read on Nova MD's own website in October 2026. Quoted text is theirs.
- The semaglutide page lists "1 MONTH" at $175 a month, "Billed monthly", and says "Price includes everything you need; consultation, care, medication, supplies, shipping and support."
- The tirzepatide page shows the monthly plan at $199 from Drug Crafters Pharmacy with the note "Temporarily unavailable in AR. Unavailable in AL, AK, CA, HI, KY, LA, MD, MN, MS, NE, NV, OH, OR, VA. Ships to Puerto Rico."
- The refund policy summary says "Plans renew automatically. You can pause or cancel anytime — at least 48 hours (2 days) before your renewal date."
What we like
- Semaglutide is $175 billed monthly and tirzepatide $199, covering consultation, care, medication, supplies, shipping and support
- Names its pharmacies — Drug Crafters, Southend & Vials RX and NewLife — and lists the states each tirzepatide option cannot ship to
- Your card is only held at checkout and is charged after a provider approves treatment
- Pause or cancel from your account at least 48 hours before renewal, with no membership fee
- Same-day care-team messaging, unlimited follow-ups and free overnight shipping
The caveats
- The $129-a-month figure on the homepage is the three-month plan, billed $387 every quarter
- Monthly tirzepatide from Drug Crafters is unavailable in 14 states, including California, Ohio, Maryland and Virginia, and temporarily in Arkansas
- Once the pharmacy fills an order it cannot be canceled or refunded, even for side effects, and a $25 provider fee is kept if you cancel after review
- Compounded injections only — no brand-name GLP-1 and no oral option
- Damaged or wrong items must be reported within 48 hours of delivery, and compounded medications are not FDA-approved

Nova MD keeps compounded GLP-1 pricing readable. Semaglutide is $175 billed monthly and tirzepatide $199, and both include the consultation, medication, supplies, overnight shipping and ongoing support; quarterly plans bring either down to $129 a month if you pay $387 up front. Your card is only charged once a provider approves you, and you can pause or cancel from your account with 48 hours' notice. It names its pharmacies and even lists the states each tirzepatide option cannot reach — 14 states, including California and Ohio, plus Arkansas for now. The limits: compounded injections only, no refunds once the pharmacy fills an order, and a $25 fee if you cancel after review. Bottom line: a fair, transparent monthly option for readers in a state it serves.
