Visit HealthicareThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Healthicare on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 71 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Healthicare is still a genuine option — flat pricing that genuinely doesn't climb with dose — $174 semaglutide, $264 tirzepatide — undercut by a page that can't do its own math: it claims 44 states, then names 10 exclusions that only leave 40. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same real-mom rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.
Price, access & features
| Detail | CoreAge Rx | Healthicare |
|---|---|---|
| Mom-Tested Score | 94/100 · A | 71/100 · C |
| Overall rank | #1 | #32 |
| Semaglutide | $99/mo | $174/mo |
| Tirzepatide | $149/mo | $264/mo |
| Coverage | All 50 states | Claims 44 states; 10 named exclusions (CA, NV, NJ, NC, TX, MA, MS, NH, WV, DE) leave the real math at 40 — a mismatch on HealthiCare's own page |

| Oral / sublingual | Injection only | Injection only |
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Healthicare
Ranked #32 · Grade C
What we like
- Flat pricing that doesn't climb as your dose increases — stated plainly in HealthiCare's own FAQ
- Names its prescribing physician (Dr. Jonah Mink, Beluga Health) and its compounding pharmacy (F&F Pharmacies), with lot-level tracking
- Cancel anytime, no commitment, on the standard monthly plan
The caveats
- The state coverage math doesn't reconcile on its own page: '44 states' claimed, then 10 named exclusions that leave 40 — confirm your own state directly
- The itemized fee breakdown doesn't cleanly total to the headline price, and the two tirzepatide list prices shown on the same page are a dollar apart
- Compounded only — not FDA-approved, and the page says so plainly
