Care Clinics review
The cheapest sticker price I've checked recently — $100/mo semaglutide, $133/mo tirzepatide on the 3-month plans — but it comes with no named pharmacy, no named clinician, and no published state list, and consults run over live video rather than a quick questionnaire.
- HSA / FSA-eligible
- I walked it myself
- No insurance needed

How I scored Care Clinics
Each factor is scored from Care Clinics's real pricing, disclosures and the actual signup, then combined into the 60/100 Mom-Tested Score by the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider — never nudged by whether a provider pays us.
Scores low here: getting started asks more of your week than most.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores high on medication choice — the options that matter are covered.
Scores low: whether it reaches you is the open question.
Support is the weakest part of this provider's score.
Exit terms are the weak point: lock-in, notice periods, or a cancellation you have to chase.
How I verified this review
- Last verified
- August 2026
- Confidence
- medium
- Primary source
- careclinics.us
Live-verified 2026-08-05 by fetching careclinics.us directly. LegitScript-certification and HIPAA-compliance claims appear on-page but are unverified third-party claims. No pharmacy name, no individual clinician name, and no state-availability list found anywhere on the homepage — recorded as not disclosed rather than assumed. Checked for an FDA warning letter under 'Care Clinics' and the careclinics.us domain; none found.
What to expect when you sign up
I walked Care Clinics's public signup funnel (August 2026) — a first-hand look at the flow. I don't create accounts, enter medical info, or check out, so this is what any visitor sees, not a patient outcome.
- 1Homepage prices every program by name and duration up front — no signup wall to see a number
- 2Consultations run over what Care Clinics calls a 'secure HIPAA compliant audio video platform,' which reads as a live video visit rather than a pure async questionnaire
- 3A 'panel of healthcare providers' reviews you — no individual clinician is named anywhere I found
- 4Medication ships directly from an unnamed pharmacy via courier, 3-5 business days
What I noticed
- Genuinely cheap on paper — $100/mo semaglutide and $133/mo tirzepatide on the 3-month plans are among the lowest sticker prices I've checked
- No pharmacy is named, no physician is named, and no state list appears anywhere on the homepage or in the FAQ I read
- Klarna payment plans are offered, which softens the up-front 3-month lump sum
- The homepage's own price widgets render with a cosmetic glitch (numbers show as '299 $' rather than '$299') — not a security issue, just sloppy front-end polish worth knowing about before you trust the rest of the page's details

What I like
- Genuinely low published pricing — $100/mo semaglutide and $133/mo tirzepatide are among the cheapest I've found
- Every program's price is on the homepage itself, with no signup wall
- Klarna payment plans available for the multi-month programs
The caveats
- No pharmacy named anywhere, and no individual clinician named — just a 'panel of healthcare providers'
- No state-availability list found on the site
- Consults run over live audio/video rather than an async questionnaire, which is harder to fit around nap time
- Homepage price widgets have a cosmetic display glitch worth noting before you trust the finer print
What I actually think of Care Clinics
The cheapest sticker price I've checked recently — $100/mo semaglutide, $133/mo tirzepatide on the 3-month plans — but it comes with no named pharmacy, no named clinician, and no published state list, and consults run over live video rather than a quick questionnaire. It runs about $100/month, and it's flat at every dose — toward the cheaper end of what I walked.
I look at Care Clinics the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and the real monthly cost. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What Care Clinics really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — 3-month program (medication included): $100/mo
- Compounded semaglutide — 7-week program: $148/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 3-month program (medication included): $133/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide — 4-week program: $329/mo
That's under the roughly $165 median I found across the providers I walked — real money back in the grocery budget.
Which meds Care Clinics prescribes
Care Clinics prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide — the two with the strongest published weight-loss numbers, and having both on one account genuinely matters if insulin resistance is in the mix (which it often is with PCOS or after gestational diabetes), because that's when tirzepatide tends to be the better fit. These are compounded from a licensed pharmacy — that's why the price stays down — but compounded GLP-1s aren't FDA-approved finished products the way Wegovy and Zepbound are, and it's worth knowing that going in.
Who Care Clinics is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- money is the actual barrier and you want a low, predictable number you can plan around.
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk timing around nursing and pregnancy timing — that's what my #1 pick, CoreAge Rx, is built to do.
Can you trust it?
My confidence is middling — the core facts hold up, but some details (per-state availability, how the program really runs) aren't fully public. With any compounded GLP-1, the most useful thing you can do is confirm which licensed pharmacy fills it and what's actually in the formulation — I explain how I weigh oversight in the scoring method.
One line that's true of every provider on this site: no GLP-1 is established as safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and the labels say don't. This is me reviewing a commercial signup, not giving you a green light — the timing call is yours and your clinician's.
So, would I use it?
Care Clinics is a genuine budget play — weigh it on nursing and pregnancy timing and the real monthly cost against the picks below. For most moms, CoreAge Rx is still the stronger all-round fit — and you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: A mom chasing the lowest possible sticker price who's comfortable doing a live video consult and calling ahead to confirm her state and the pharmacy before she pays.
If Care Clinics isn't the one
Providers I have a referral relationship with, ordered by Mom-Tested Score — highest first. A fee never moves a score, but it does decide who shows up in this box, so it isn't everyone: my full ranking has every provider, paid or not.
- Visit CoreAge RxMom-Tested Score94/100ACoreAge RxMy #1 pick
The one I'd point a friend to first: I finished the intake in a single nap, the price on screen was the price I'd actually pay, and both semaglutide and tirzepatide were right there on one account.
- Visit Trimi HealthMom-Tested Score85/100B
The price-first pick: some of the lowest flat, all-inclusive pricing I found, in all 50 states — great if the monthly number is your whole decision and you read the annual-prepay fine print before you sign.
- Visit Gala HealthMom-Tested Score84/100B
A flat $179 for either molecule with a genuinely gentle microdosing tier — a reasonable, all-doses-included option if you can live with a yearly plan and a pharmacy it won't name.

Head-to-head & alternatives
Care Clinics, answered
- Is Care Clinics' $100/mo semaglutide price real?
- Yes, as I found it: $299 flat for a 3-month program that includes the medication, which works out to about $100/mo — one of the cheapest sticker prices I've checked. There's also a shorter 7-week plan at $259 (~$148/mo) and longer extended plans priced by dose. Klarna payment plans are offered if you'd rather not pay the 3-month lump sum up front.
- Does Care Clinics tell you which pharmacy or doctor you're working with?
- Not on the pages I checked. It names a 'panel of healthcare providers' and says medication ships 'directly from pharmacy,' but no individual clinician or pharmacy name appears anywhere I could find — and neither does a state-availability list. Confirm both directly with them before you pay.
Pricing, states and verification reflect Care Clinics's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method.
