Two providers, one advertised number, and a hundred dollars a month of difference in what actually leaves your account. This pairing is worth understanding even if you end up choosing neither.
Eden publishes compounded semaglutide at $99 and compounded tirzepatide at $199. Underneath, a footnote states those prices include medication only, that an active membership is required at $39 for the first month and $99 a month after, and that medication is not available without one. So the real figures are about $198 and $298 from month two.
CoreAge Rx publishes $79 and $129 with no membership, no sign-up fee, no shipping fee and no subscription. Over a year on semaglutide that is $1,188 against roughly $2,337 — a difference of $1,149, for the same molecule from two pharmacy networks neither company will name.
Eden contradicts itself on this exact point
Its homepage FAQ states that plans include the cost of the doctor's visit, prescription medications and free shipping, and that there are no hidden or additional fees. Its weight-loss page footnote states that the price includes medication only and that the membership fee is not included.
Where Eden genuinely wins
Three places, and they are not trivial. It serves all 50 states while CoreAge Rx confirms restrictions per therapy at intake. It states HSA and FSA cards are accepted for most visits and prescriptions, in writing, where CoreAge Rx accepts them but publishes nothing. And it carries branded Ozempic, Zepbound, Mounjaro and Wegovy, so escalating to an approved product does not mean changing provider.
It also names its medical leadership with credentials and states that its state-licensed pharmacies run third-party quality-control testing on every compounded lot. CoreAge Rx does neither.
Where both fall short
Neither names its compounding pharmacy. Neither publishes eligibility criteria, exclusions or a lab requirement. And both publish inconsistent pricing on their own sites — Eden through the FAQ contradiction, CoreAge Rx by quoting $79 on a 12-month plan, $79 on a 12-month plan and $79 on a 12-month plan as GLP-1 prices in three different places.
If disclosure is what you are optimising for rather than price, neither of these is the answer. Ondra Health names its pharmacies and medical director and publishes a full price matrix, and HealthiCare itemises every component of the bill.
