HealthSource vs MadeMed

The verdict for women

Higher Luna Fit Score: MadeMed

MadeMed edges out HealthSource on the Luna Fit Score, 84 to 74 (B vs C). Women who expect to titrate and want to know today what month six costs, and who want an oral route available without switching provider. The reasoning behind that number is in what we found reviewing MadeMed.

HealthSource is still a genuine option — one of the few programs that documents its all-50-state footprint rather than asserting it, with an oral tirzepatide route and a starter-dose plan priced the same as the full dose. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities; what we found reviewing HealthSource goes through each of them, and if neither of these two is the one, what women pick instead of HealthSource widens the field.

HealthSource

Ranked #49 · Grade C

What we like

  • The only provider in this batch whose all-50-state claim is documented on its own service-areas page rather than asserted in marketing copy
  • An oral tirzepatide programme alongside the injections
  • Starter-dose and full-dose plans cost the same, so titrating up does not raise the bill

The caveats

  • Billed every four weeks, not monthly — thirteen charges a year, so the effective annual cost is about 8% above the sticker
  • Never actually claims flat pricing across all doses; the variants it sells happen to cost the same
  • The form of the oral tirzepatide — sublingual, troche or swallowed tablet — is not disclosed anywhere

MadeMed

Ranked #7 · Grade B

What we like

  • One price at every dose, published dose by dose — semaglutide $239/mo from 0.25mg to 2.4mg, tirzepatide $399/mo from 2.5mg to 15mg
  • LegitScript verified, with board-certified physician review and US compounding pharmacies
  • Oral semaglutide and oral tirzepatide are both offered alongside the injections

The caveats

  • Compounded medication is not FDA-approved the way brand Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are
  • 40 states rather than nationwide — check yours before you start
  • Tirzepatide is among the pricier entries on this board at $399/mo quarterly
