MatchScript's take: Rivas now publishes clear telehealth refill totals; separate in-office and branded arrangements need to be compared on their own terms. Annual attendance is described as necessary to keep the lifetime membership active; confirm how that applies to your follow-up plan.
The factor breakdown
Rivas Medical Weight Loss on the six Match Score factors — the same sub-scores the quiz reweights to your priorities. See the methodology.
The continuing telehealth totals are $399 for semaglutide and $599 for tirzepatide. Local weekly-billed care follows a different payment schedule.
Prescribing decisions can be made during the clinical visit when appropriate; shipping and appointment availability determine actual treatment start.
Both compounded molecules and current Wegovy and Zepbound prescribing paths are listed. A specific oral GLP-1 option is not established.
Monthly video visits, dose adjustments, on-call support and access to a physical clinic network provide an explicit follow-up structure.
Telehealth is paid monthly with no contract; in-office pay-as-you-go and package options are separate arrangements.
Detailed current pricing is strong, but older FAQ statements conflict on brand use and eligible states and need reconciliation.

Rivas Medical Weight Loss, answered
What is Rivas’s continuing telehealth price?
The current pricing page lists compounded semaglutide at $399 per month and tirzepatide at $599, including medication, monthly video visits, dose adjustments and shipping.
Does the $100 branded plan include medication?
No. The current pricing page calls it provider-visit-only and says Wegovy or Zepbound is purchased separately at the pharmacy.
Where is telehealth offered?
The current pricing and telehealth pages list Maryland, Virginia and Florida. An older FAQ lists fewer states, so confirm your address before booking.
Pricing & state data come from Rivas Medical Weight Loss's public site and our master provider matrix. The Match Score and its sub-scores are our editorial judgment per the methodology.

Rivas Medical Weight Loss offers an unusually clear distinction between telehealth compounded care, in-office treatment and brand-name prescribing. Its current pricing page lists continuing telehealth semaglutide at $399 per month and tirzepatide at $599, including medication, monthly video visits, dose adjustments, shipping and on-call support. The $195 starting visit includes the first month of medication and should not be confused with those refill rates. Branded Wegovy and Zepbound follow a different model: the $100 monthly visit fee excludes the pharmacy bill. In-office care has weekly prices and four-week packages, so it is not directly interchangeable with the telehealth monthly plan. The clinic footprint may appeal to people who want an established local care option, but service is limited geographically. Some FAQ statements also lag the newer pricing pages, including state availability and brand access. Use the current treatment-specific quote and clarify those discrepancies before choosing between remote and in-office care.
