Visit MD ExamThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out MD Exam on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 41 (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.
MD Exam is still a genuine option — on the homepage this is a flat program: $225 a month, medicine included, coaching included. In the FAQ it is an insurance practice — it takes most major plans, your cost depends on your coverage, and there is a bit about faxing your details in. Both are live and nothing joins them up. The same page also gives two different Miami addresses and two different support email addresses. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

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
MD Exam
Ranked #290 · Grade C
What we like
- $225 a month with the medicine included would be at the affordable end of this page
- Nutrition and exercise coaching are inside the price rather than sold on top
- It deals with insurance at all, which almost nobody else here does
The caveats
- ⛔ A flat cash program and an insurance practice are both described and nothing reconciles them
- ⛔ Two different Miami addresses and two different support emails on one page
- Its claim that the active ingredient "has always been available" is its own, and it is not what the FDA shortage record shows
