How I scored New Wave Health
Every factor here comes from New Wave Health's own pricing, its disclosures and the signup I walked, and the six add up to the 44/100 Mom-Tested Score on 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 low on choice — the medication menu is narrower here.
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

- Confidence

No price for either molecule anywhere. The only figure is a 'from $149' attached to no named product, with every treatment page printing 'available by consultation'. Thirty days' notice to cancel, and the same compiled app as two other brands.
What I like
- It names its operating company, New Wave Health LLC, and says where it's based
- It offers a lower-dose microdose alongside the two usual molecules
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding are on its clinical-exclusion list
The caveats
- It publishes no price for semaglutide or tirzepatide anywhere on the site
- Its only figure, "from $149", is attached to no named product
- Canceling wants thirty days' notice and anything already begun is non-refundable
- Its own answers disagree about whether coverage is Virginia-plus or all fifty states
- The site is the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 brands, with the same testimonial photo
- No brand-name path
What I actually think of New Wave Health
It names both molecules and prices neither — the only figure on the site is a "from $149" attached to no product at all.
I look at New Wave Health the way moms actually have to — not just the real monthly number, but nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. That's the stuff a generic weight-loss review skips right over.
What New Wave Health really costs
New Wave Health doesn't put a plain monthly cash price on the screen up front — the number shows up after an intake quiz. Get it in writing and confirm the ongoing rate before you hand over a card. If a clear, upfront price is what you're after, my cheapest-first shortlist is the faster read.
Which meds New Wave Health prescribes
New Wave Health prescribes semaglutide (the active drug in Wegovy and Ozempic). 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 New Wave Health is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- staying covered no matter where you are matters — a move for family shouldn't blow up your care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you specifically want an FDA-approved brand pen with its own pregnancy and lactation labeling.
- you want to be able to cancel without a fight — the exit terms are the part of the fine print I'd read twice here.
- you'd rather a prescriber actually talk through nursing and pregnancy timing with you — 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?
New Wave Health is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. 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: Almost nobody comparing costs today — there's no published price here to compare against anything else.
If New Wave Health 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 Pallas HealthMom-Tested Score86/100B+
Pallas is one of the few places that will sell you either the cheap compounded route or the real brand-name pen without making you pick a provider first — compounded semaglutide works out to about $199 a month and tirzepatide about $299, while actual Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro sit alongside them at cash-pay prices from $1,069. The price genuinely doesn't climb as you titrate, Pallas says so plainly on its own site, and the clinician, dose adjustments, check-ins and messaging are all inside that one number with no membership fee stacked on top. Two clinicians are named and both check out in the federal NPI registry, the LegitScript badge it displays is a real one, and it publishes an actual refund policy — full refund if a clinician turns you down, and a $5 processing fee if you cancel a qualifying payment — which is more paperwork than most of this market bothers with. The two things to know before you commit: it bills every 12 weeks in $597 and $897 chunks rather than monthly, and it never names its compounding pharmacy.
- 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.

Head-to-head & alternatives
New Wave Health, answered
- What does semaglutide cost here?
- They don't say. It isn't on the homepage, on any of the three treatment pages, or in the FAQ; all that exists is 'from $149 a month', without naming a product. You'd learn the real figure after intake, once your personal and medical details are already submitted — which is exactly the order to avoid while you're still comparing.
- Is this the same as other brands I've seen?
- Technically, yes. It runs the same compiled application as two other GLP-1 telehealth brands: the same app file, the same legal text apart from the company name, and the same testimonial photo under the same patient name and the same pound count. If you're weighing two of those three, you're looking at one site twice.
- Can I cancel whenever I want?
- It wants thirty days' notice before the next billing cycle, and consultations, visits and filled prescriptions are non-refundable. It's the same clause, word for word, that both of its sibling brands publish — which tells you something about how independent the three really are.
Pricing, states and verification reflect New Wave Health's public disclosures at last review; the Mom-Tested Score is one mom's editorial judgment per the published method. This is background reading, not medical advice — GLP-1 medications are not established as safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding. See my medical disclaimer and how I'm funded.
