ZipHealth is a US-based online pharmacy and telehealth service with a simple structure: a flat $79 consultation fee, brand-name GLP-1 medications priced separately, and delivery as quickly as the next day in unbranded packaging. The company promises you will see your total cost before committing — which is good, because the medication prices are not published on the site.
Overview
ZipHealth operates as a US-based online pharmacy with US board-certified medical providers. You complete an online consultation, choose from the treatments a provider recommends, and receive medication by mail. Insurance is not required, and the emphasis throughout is on speed and discretion.
The GLP-1 lineup is notably current — it includes the Zepbound KwikPen, both the Wegovy pen and the Wegovy pill, and Foundayo. That is a modern brand-name catalogue covering injectable and oral routes for both semaglutide and tirzepatide.

Medications Offered
- Zepbound KwikPen — tirzepatide, weekly injection in pen format
- Wegovy Pen — semaglutide, weekly injection
- Wegovy Pill — oral semaglutide
- Foundayo — orforglipron, a daily oral GLP-1
This is a well-chosen catalogue: injectable and oral options across both semaglutide and tirzepatide, all brand-name products. If you want tirzepatide in a pen and semaglutide as a pill from the same provider, that combination is not easy to find.
ZipHealth does not state whether compounded alternatives are available. If a low-cost compounded option is what you need, confirm before paying the consultation fee.
Pricing and Fees
- Consultation fee: $79, for both new and existing customers
- Medication: billed separately; prices not published
- Membership: none stated
- Company statement: "You'll see your total cost before you commit, with no hidden fees"
A flat $79 consultation applying to both new and existing customers is straightforward, and it is cheaper than a $129 first visit elsewhere. But the medication cost — the number that actually determines affordability for brand-name GLP-1s — is not published anywhere.
The commitment to showing total cost before purchase is good practice, and we credit it. But it means you cannot comparison-shop from the outside — you have to enter the funnel to find out what you would pay.
Before you do, note that NovoCare Pharmacy publishes Wegovy pen and pill pricing at $199 and $149/month respectively. That gives you a benchmark to judge any quote against.
Consultation and Eligibility
The published process has three steps: answer quick questions in an online consultation, choose your treatment from the recommended options, and get it delivered. Asynchronous rather than a live visit.
Eligibility criteria and lab requirements are not published — the site says only to check your eligibility with a quick online consultation. For brand-name GLP-1s this matters less than for compounded products, since the medication itself is a known quantity, but you should still expect a thorough screen. Our eligibility guide covers what should be asked.
One phrase worth reading carefully: "choose your treatment" from recommended options. That framing puts the selection in your hands after a provider narrows the field — reasonable, but it is a more consumer-driven model than a clinician deciding what is appropriate.
Pharmacy, Shipping, and Support
ZipHealth is its own US-based online pharmacy with US board-certified providers, so fulfillment is in-house rather than routed to an unnamed third party. Delivery is advertised as fast as next day — among the quickest we have seen in this category.
Packaging is plain and discreet, without branding or labels, though the company notes this may vary for Zepbound, Wegovy, and Foundayo. Discretion is a genuine consideration for some people, and worth noting alongside the practical point that these are cold-chain products — no cold-chain replacement policy is published. See our storage and shipping guide.
Support is customer care chat with replies within one day. That is a support desk, not clinical care — there is no coaching program, care team, or 24/7 clinician messaging described.
Cancellation, Refunds, Insurance, HSA/FSA
- Cancellation and refunds: not disclosed on the site.
- Insurance: not required, and not described as accepted. Treat this as cash pay.
- HSA/FSA: not stated. Request an itemized receipt separating the $79 consultation from the medication — see our HSA/FSA guide.

Who ZipHealth May Be Best For
ZipHealth suits someone who knows what medication they want, values speed and discretion, and does not need ongoing clinical hand-holding. If you want a Zepbound KwikPen delivered tomorrow in an unmarked box and are comfortable managing your own titration, the structure fits well.
The in-house pharmacy is a real plus. Many telehealth companies are marketing layers over an unnamed fulfillment partner; ZipHealth dispensing from its own US pharmacy is more accountable.
It is a weaker fit if you want to compare prices before engaging, need insurance billed, or want structured support through the difficult early months. Our side effects guide covers what you would be handling largely alone.
Limitations
This review is based on ZipHealth's published materials. Medication pricing, state availability, eligibility criteria, lab requirements, cancellation terms, refund policy, and HSA/FSA handling are all undisclosed, which limits how much of the value proposition can be assessed externally. We have not verified next-day delivery, provider credentials, or fulfillment quality in practice.
Alternatives
- Published brand-name pricing: NovoCare Pharmacy from $149/month.
- Cheaper visits with published eligibility: DrHouse.
- Want structured support: Shed or Shapely.
- Compare the field: best online GLP-1 providers.
