Provider review
Transparent Meds review
A real 45-state list — but its "intro" price is never labeled as one.
Its own compiled source code names the featured $99/$199 "Monthly price" `introMonthly`, next to an unexplained, crossed-out "List price" — a distinction disclosed nowhere a reader sees it.

This review's stake, stated plainly — some of the outbound links on this site are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. 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.
On this page
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Transparent Meds' own pricing cards show a "Monthly price" of $99 for compounded Semaglutide and $199 for compounded Tirzepatide, each next to a separate, crossed-out "List price" ($229 and $349) labeled "You save" for the difference — no explanation of what "List price" means appears anywhere on the rendered site.
What you actually pay, month to month
Its own compiled source code names the $229/mo (semaglutide) and $349/mo (tirzepatide) figures `listMonthly`, paired with the $99/mo and $199/mo figures it separately names `introMonthly` — internal naming that implies $229/$349 is the true standing rate. This could not be confirmed by directly observing a live second-cycle charge: the actual checkout/intake runs on a separate subdomain (try.transparentmeds.co, a form-builder page) that rendered nothing to a direct fetch, and Chrome navigation was blocked this pass at the browser-tool permission layer.
The commitment trap
Its own compiled source code labels the featured $99/$199 figure `introMonthly` and pairs it with a separate `listMonthly` figure ($229/$349) rendered as a crossed-out, unexplained comparison on every pricing card sitewide — internal naming that implies an introductory rate, though the actual checkout could not be walked to directly confirm the charge changes after the first cycle. Separately, its own Terms of Service (§4, "Subscription Cancellations") DO confirm the plan is a real automatically-renewing subscription — "Your chosen payment method is automatically charged in advance of each billing cycle," canceled by "turning off auto‑renew / auto‑refill" — so some form of ongoing commitment is confirmed even where the exact renewal price is not.
Money you will meet later
- Insurance is not billed directly; the site offers a receipt for potential out-of-network reimbursement instead, per its own FAQ.
- In-person visits or labs are ordered only when a clinician decides they're medically appropriate, per its own FAQ — not a routine, priced line item.
- Its own Refund & Cancellation Policy lists provider-consultation fees, platform/membership fees, and already-shipped medication as non-refundable once triggered — see /cancellation-policies for the full breakdown.
Checked live on Transparent Meds's own site at https://www.transparentmeds.co/weight-loss in August 2026. Prices change without notice — confirm before you buy. Every figure here was read off Transparent Meds's own public pages on the date shown, not from a third-party comparison table.
The bottom line
Transparent Meds (transparentmeds.co, operated by Transparent Meds LLC) is a real, LegitScript-verified telehealth storefront selling compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, with a genuinely published 45-state coverage list — a level of disclosure most of this board's rows don't clear. The brand name doesn't fully hold up against this site's own Transparency Scorecard, though: it names a clinical network (Locum Tele) and a compounding pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy) in a footer disclaimer but states no 503A/503B category for either, and its featured "Monthly price" of $99/$199 is coded internally as `introMonthly` against an unexplained, crossed-out "List price" of $229/$349 — a distinction its own Terms of Service, which do confirm automatic recurring billing via a self-service auto-renew/auto-refill toggle, never actually discloses. Sermorelin is marketed with its own dosing information but has no price and no working checkout path, routing instead to a contact form.
Transparent Meds appears on our tirzepatide provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You want a provider that actually publishes which states it serves — 45 named out of 50 — rather than leaving availability to be discovered during signup.
- You're comfortable toggling auto-renew off in your account or emailing support before your next bill; its Terms of Service require 48 hours' notice and describe a real self-service cancellation path.
- You want a LegitScript badge you can actually check: its seal ID resolves to a live, recently-updated certificate image, unlike more than one peer on this board whose badge couldn't be independently confirmed.
Look elsewhere if
- You're pricing this off the "$99/mo" or "$199/mo" figure shown most prominently — that number is internally coded as an introductory rate next to an unexplained, higher "List price," and the actual checkout (hosted off-domain) couldn't be reached this pass to confirm what happens after the first charge.
- You want the pharmacy filling your prescription named AND regulatorily classified — Transparent Meds names Rush Pharmacy and a clinical network (Locum Tele) in a footer disclaimer, but never states a 503A/503B category for either, even though this same Rush Pharmacy is classified 503A on Precision Telemed's own site.
- You're interested in Sermorelin specifically — it's marketed with its own dosing and safety information card, but has no listed price, and its "Get Started" path is a contact form, not a checkout.
What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what Transparent Meds bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
A licensed-provider intake and review is required before any…
prescription, described as part of the subscription rather than a separately billed fee. Its own Terms of Service name physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants as the clinicians who may review a case.
Bloodwork / labs
Not a routine, priced requirement
Its own FAQ states, "In-person steps or labs are ordered only when your clinician decides they are medically appropriate" — no bloodwork cost or cadence is published for the standard plan.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Not itemized with a specific cadence on the public site; the…
FAQ describes an ongoing "care team" that explains follow-up visits and dose adjustments, without stating how often.
Human support
None named
No dietitian, nurse, or structured coaching program appears anywhere on the live site — support is a licensed-provider consult plus a generic "care team."
Injection supplies
Not itemized on the public pages we could read.
Shipping
"Free shipping" and a stated "2-day shipping" step both appear…
in the homepage's how-it-works stepper; no carrier name or delivery-window guarantee is published beyond that.
Who fills it, and who's watching
The pharmacy
Names a clinical network and a pharmacy, but states no regulatory category for either. A shared disclaimer block (rendered on the /weight-loss page) states plainly: "Clinical services are provided by Locum Tele, an independent network of U.S.-licensed clinicians... Prescriptions are filled and shipped by Rush Pharmacy, a U.S.-based, state-licensed compounding pharmacy." Neither "503A" nor "503B" appears anywhere in the site's rendered content or its compiled source (checked directly — zero matches for either string in the full bundle), even though this is the SAME Rush Pharmacy that Precision Telemed's own site, elsewhere on this board, names and classifies, unhedged, as "a licensed 503A compounding pharmacy." The regulatory claim has to come from Transparent Meds' own page about its own pharmacy relationship, not be borrowed from a different company's page about the same vendor — so `pharmacy.type` stays "unknown" per this site's provenance rule.
Oversight
A licensed-provider intake and review is required before any prescription, described as part of the subscription rather than a separately billed fee. Its own Terms of Service name physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants as the clinicians who may review a case. Not itemized with a specific cadence on the public site; the FAQ describes an ongoing "care team" that explains follow-up visits and dose adjustments, without stating how often.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while 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.
Where you can get it
Published as an actual list, not a vague coverage claim: its own FAQ ("What states do you serve?") names 45 states directly — "We currently serve patients in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming" — explicitly excluding five: Alaska, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, and New Mexico. This is a real disclosure win relative to most of this board, which typically states availability vaguely or not at all.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
A company named "Transparent Meds" shows every visitor a "Monthly price" of $99 (semaglutide) or $199 (tirzepatide) next to a crossed-out, unexplained "List price" of $229 / $349 — and its own compiled source code internally labels the lower figure `introMonthly`, with the word "intro" never once appearing anywhere a reader is actually shown. Its pharmacy disclosure has the same shape: it names a clinical network (Locum Tele) and a compounding pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy) in a footer disclaimer — the SAME Rush Pharmacy this site's own Precision Telemed review sources to an unhedged 503A claim — but Transparent Meds' own site never states any regulatory category for it.
- The featured $99/mo (semaglutide) and $199/mo (tirzepatide) "Monthly price" figures are named `introMonthly` in the site's own compiled source code, next to an unexplained, crossed-out `listMonthly` figure ($229/$349) — a distinction never disclosed to a reader anywhere on the rendered site
- Names a clinical network (Locum Tele) and a pharmacy (Rush Pharmacy) but states no 503A/503B regulatory category for either — notable because this exact same Rush Pharmacy is classified 503A on Precision Telemed's own site
- Sermorelin has its own dosing/safety information card but no price and no working purchase path anywhere we could find — its "Get Started" button routes to a contact form, not a checkout
- The actual checkout/intake runs on a separate, form-builder-hosted subdomain (try.transparentmeds.co) that rendered nothing to a direct fetch, so the real per-cycle charge could not be independently walked this pass
None of this is unique to Transparent Meds — the whole category shares it.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our tirzepatide provider ranking — the most specific board Transparent Meds sits on — in the order that board ranks them.
- PLPlexusDxPriciest starting-price seller; the only one admitting it's not FDA-approved.

- WHWelling HealthReal pricing, real entity — its own site can't agree on 503A vs. 503B.
- EHEOS HealthNames five 503A pharmacies — but its own legal pages disagree on HIPAA.
- StackMDReal dose-tier pricing — but its sermorelin page quotes a price nothing sells at.
- FOFoundStates a 503A category for its pharmacy — but the $99 floor needs a multi-month prepay.
- CoreAge RxA low advertised floor on both boards, with no named pharmacy and no ceiling.
- yourEraA single-page price list, but no pharmacy name and no sermorelin at all.
