Provider review
Kova cost: $449 / 4 wks (about $488/mo) tirzepatide
Names the compound only once you reach checkout, never on the marketing site.
The homepage and FAQ stay at "GLP-1 medication" throughout; the intake quiz is the only place that actually names semaglutide or tirzepatide as a specific, purchasable product.

Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The catch — The 3-month and 6-month plans' "$329/4 weeks" and "$299/4 weeks" figures are not a recurring charge at all — they're the site's own per-4-week average of a single $987 (every 12 weeks) or $1,794 (every 24 weeks) lump sum. A reader who assumes either figure is a periodic bill amount will be surprised by the actual charge size.

What they advertise
Kova's own homepage pricing grid: 1-month plan, $249 intro (first 4 weeks) then $449 "Renewal Every 4 weeks." 3-month plan, $149 intro then a single $987 charge "Renewal Every 12 weeks" (labeled "$329/4 weeks"). 6-month plan, $129 intro then a single $1,794 charge "Renewal Every 24 weeks" (labeled "$299/4 weeks").
What you actually pay
$449 every 4 weeks is the real no-commitment standing rate — the 1-month plan's own stated renewal charge. That's 13 charges a year, not 12 monthly ones, so the true annualized cost ($5,837) runs higher than a naive "$449 × 12" read would suggest.
Money you will meet later
- Lab work, if a provider orders it to guide a dosage change, is explicitly NOT included: the FAQ states plainly, "Lab work is not included in the program, and you'll have to pay separately for it if it's required."
- No mention anywhere on the site of injection supplies (needles, syringes, sharps container) being included or billed separately, and no shipping cost or delivery-time figure is published.
The bottom line
Kova (trykova.com, LifeTech Apps Inc, a Delaware corporation) is a nationwide telehealth platform that goes to unusual lengths not to say what it sells. "Semaglutide" and "tirzepatide" appear on its homepage twice each, both inside the same generic clinical-trial citation, and not once in any of its three legal documents. The drug names surface only inside the checkout flow, where the base "Program" tier's paywall reads "May contain compounded semaglutide, if prescribed" and the "Program Plus" upsell reads "Compounded tirzepatide" — each tied to its own product identifiers, so that is the real catalog rather than a marketing flourish. Pricing is labeled better than most: the homepage puts the intro price and the real renewal charge side by side on all three plans. But the 3-month and 6-month plans' "$329/4 weeks" and "$299/4 weeks" are a lump sum divided up — $987 or $1,794, charged once — not a recurring rate. The only genuine pay-as-you-go price is the 1-month plan's $449 every 4 weeks. The knock is elsewhere again: Kova's own FAQ can't keep straight which pharmacy fills the prescription.
Kova appears on our tirzepatide provider ranking and our combined weight loss injections ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You're comfortable digging past the marketing page yourself — the actual compound you'd be prescribed IS confirmable, it just isn't printed anywhere on the site a normal visitor would read.
- You want named individual clinicians, not a generic "clinical team" — Kova's FAQ names four by name and credential (Dr. Laurie Mercier, MD; Kimberli Hastings, NP; Theresa Vergara, NP; Craig Sorkin, NP).
- You read a pricing page carefully — Kova's own homepage shows the intro AND the real renewal charge together for every tier, not a hero number with the real one buried below it.
Look elsewhere if
- You want to know which specific compound you're being prescribed before you start a medical intake — neither the homepage, the FAQ, nor any legal document names one; that information only appears on a paywall screen reached after the quiz.
- You're pricing the 3-month or 6-month plan off its "$329/4 weeks" or "$299/4 weeks" label and expect that amount to hit your card every few weeks — the actual charge is a single $987 or $1,794 lump sum, once every 12 or 24 weeks.
- A single, consistent answer for which pharmacy fills your prescription matters to you — Kova's own FAQ gives two different, non-overlapping answers on the same page.

Who fills your prescription
No category stated
Kova does not name the pharmacy that fills your prescription.
What its own site says
Not resolvable to one answer. Kova's own FAQ, "What pharmacy does Kova work with?", answers: "Kova partners with Telegra Pharmacy Network across the United States. Telegra MD LLC operates a nationwide network of 503a and 503b compounding pharmacies" — hedging between both federal categories rather than committing to one. A SEPARATE FAQ question on the same page, "Who are your pharmacy providers?", answers instead: "Our Pharmacies are leaders in providing personalized medication solutions. E-RxHub... Absolute Pharmacy... Southend Pharmacy... Strive Pharmacy" — four specific pharmacies, none of them called Telegra, and Telegra is not mentioned in that answer at all.
What's the difference between 503A and 503B?
A 503A pharmacy compounds for one named patient; a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved.
Where you can get it
All 50 states
"All 50 US states," per the FAQ: "We provide care and support to patients in all 50 US states," hedged in the same sentence by "Availability of specific services may vary by state based on provider licensure and applicable regulations." No exclusion list is published in either direction anywhere on the site.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
Kova's own FAQ contradicts itself on which pharmacy actually fills your prescription. One answer, to "What pharmacy does Kova work with?", names a single hedged network: "Kova partners with Telegra Pharmacy Network across the United States. Telegra MD LLC operates a nationwide network of 503a and 503b compounding pharmacies" — 503A and 503B in the same breath, never resolved to one. A separate answer on the exact same FAQ page, to "Who are your pharmacy providers?", names four entirely different pharmacies instead — "E-RxHub... Absolute Pharmacy... Southend Pharmacy... Strive Pharmacy" — with no mention of Telegra anywhere in that answer. Two live, sourced answers to the same question on the same page, and they don't agree. Separately, and just as real: nowhere on the visible marketing site, FAQ, or any of its three legal documents (Terms, Privacy, HIPAA notice, Telehealth Consent) does Kova ever name a specific compound it dispenses — that information appears only on a paywall screen after the quiz, which is a genuinely harder place for a prospective patient to find than a Terms page.
- Its own FAQ contradicts itself on which pharmacy fills the prescription — see this review's knock.
- No specific compound is named anywhere on the visible site (marketing copy, FAQ, or any legal document) — only on a paywall screen reached after a full medical intake quiz.
- The 3-month and 6-month plans' "$329/4 weeks" and "$299/4 weeks" figures describe a per-4-week average, not an actual recurring charge — the real charge is a single $987 or $1,794 lump sum, once every 12 or 24 weeks.
- No mention anywhere on the site of injection supplies being included or billed separately, and no shipping cost or delivery-time figure is published.
None of this is unique to Kova — the whole category shares it.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our tirzepatide provider ranking — the most specific board Kova sits on — in the order that board ranks them. It sells into other categories too; see the boards listed above under the bottom line.
- Care Bare RxTells you exactly what you're buying — but $199 is a starting point, not a rate.
- SnagRx"Locked-In... for Life" pricing sits beside a countdown claiming otherwise.
- Breeze MedsNames the exact compound in its nav — then hides the price behind a quiz.
- Sprout HealthNames both pharmacies and a real 44-state list — but every price is a starting floor.
- TrimiNames its two pharmacies outright — then headlines a price that needs a year upfront.
- HealthRXStructured, disclosed pricing — but no legal entity is named anywhere on the site.
- SkinnyRxInjectable and oral tirzepatide — but the advertised price is a floor, not what you pay.
- Enhance MDHonest pricing and a real 503A claim — but it isn't in all 50 states, whatever it says.
