Rivas Medical Weight Loss, answered
Is Rivas Medical Weight Loss legit?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss 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. Like most programs here it dispenses compounded GLP-1s, which are made by a licensed pharmacy but aren't FDA-approved.
How much does Rivas Medical Weight Loss cost?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss lists compounded semaglutide from $500/mo and tirzepatide from $717/mo — above our category median of $199/mo. These are the provider's public figures at our last review (August 2026); confirm on their site, since some teaser tiers step up after month one.
Does Rivas Medical Weight Loss ship to my state?
Rivas Medical Weight Loss operates in a limited set of states (3 states). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
Rivas Medical Weight Loss vs HumeCare+ — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: Rivas Medical Weight Loss at 55/100 and HumeCare+ at 53/100, so neither wins on the headline number. Rivas Medical Weight Loss is the better fit for mD/VA/FL patients wanting hands-on weekly in-person or telehealth GLP-1 visits. HumeCare+ suits people who want GLP-1 weight loss with real-time body-composition tracking to protect muscle. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
