Its lowest tier isn't clearly disclosed puts Budget Fit at a below-par 48 — above the budget tiers.
Limited or undisclosed state coverage can slow your start, for a below-par 42 on Speed to Start.
TeleFirst Med adds brand-name access on top of injectables, for a below-par 53 on Formulary Match.
Support lands at a below-par 72 — lighter, meds-first support.
Flexibility scores a below-par 55 — fewer levers to flex your plan.
Thinner public disclosure than the top of the ranking keeps Transparency at a below-par 20.
Pricing in context
How TeleFirst Med's monthly price sits against the category median and the cheapest provider we track.
What we like
- Prescribes real brand-name GLP-1 (e.g. Ozempic/Wegovy), not compounded — appealing if you specifically want FDA-approved branded medication
- Simple $120 telehealth evaluation with a licensed doctor; no insurance hassle and no prior authorization
- You fill the prescription at your own regular pharmacy rather than waiting on a mail-order compounding pharmacy
- Also a general telehealth clinic (urgent care, chronic-condition management) if you want broader care
The caveats
- Only Texas and North Carolina are confirmed — not available nationwide
- The $120 is an evaluation fee; the brand-name medication is billed separately at your pharmacy and can be expensive without insurance
- Small practice (about 500 patients) with limited public detail on its clinicians and program
- No compounded or lower-cost medication option, and no medication pricing is published
Who it's for — and who should skip it
TeleFirst Med is for tX or NC patients who want a brand-name (not compounded) GLP-1 prescription via a $120 telehealth visit.
Skip it if that doesn't sound like you. A closer fit may be Beluga Health (Match Score 48) — or take the quiz to see where TeleFirst Med lands for your priorities.

TeleFirst Med, answered
Is TeleFirst Med legit?
TeleFirst Med 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 dispenses FDA-approved brand-name medication rather than the compounded formulas most programs here sell, which is why its pricing sits higher.
How much does TeleFirst Med cost?
TeleFirst Med 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 TeleFirst Med ship to my state?
TeleFirst Med operates in a limited set of states (2 states). If yours isn't on that list, you'll need a nationwide provider instead.
TeleFirst Med vs Beluga Health — which should I pick?
They score within a few points of each other: TeleFirst Med at 48/100 and Beluga Health at 48/100, so neither wins on the headline number. TeleFirst Med is the better fit for tX or NC patients who want a brand-name (not compounded) GLP-1 prescription via a $120 telehealth visit. Beluga Health suits people who want brands launching DTC GLP-1 telehealth; less direct for individual shoppers. Run the quiz and the weighting shifts to whichever of those matters more to you.
Pricing & state data last verified June 2026 from TeleFirst Med'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 TeleFirst Med's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
TeleFirst Med publishes no price before intake, which makes it hard to compare against programs that do — the biggest mark against it here. It scores highest on the care that comes after the first vial. It does sit near the bottom of our 537, though. Best suited to tX or NC patients who want a brand-name (not compounded) GLP-1 prescription via a $120 telehealth visit. If that is not you, Beluga Health is the closest thing to it here.
