How I scored RxSpan MD
Every factor here comes from RxSpan MD's own pricing and its disclosures, and the six add up to the 78/100 Mom-Tested Score on the same weighted six-factor method I use on every provider. Some providers are partners, and we may be paid if you sign up through our links.
A manageable start, with some friction worth planning around.
Scores low: pinning down the real ongoing number takes work.
Scores high on medication choice — the options that matter are covered.
Wide coverage, but worth confirming your own state before you commit.
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
- Confidence
- medium
- Primary source
- RxSpan MD's website
The rendered catalog lists compounded injections and capsules plus three brand products. Monthly compounded plan quotes are visible, but exact dose, supply and renewal terms remain incomplete; brand prices are marked first-month only.
Before you sign up
I opened RxSpan MD's signup and stopped at the first screen that asked for personal details, so I can't tell you what comes after it. Here's what's worth knowing before you start.
Worth knowing
- Historical walkthrough observation: Prices are on its products page rather than the homepage, and you can see them before starting the intake
- October 17 API snapshot, superseded by the October 18 rendered catalog: four brand medications had prices, Wegovy renewal copy conflicted and earlier compounded offers were absent from that response. No new intake walkthrough was performed.

HSA and FSA usually work for this — worth checking your own plan. The prices here are what RxSpan MD's public disclosures showed at last review, and they change often; confirm the current number on RxSpan MD's own site.
What I like
- Names four compounding pharmacies with phone numbers, and two lead physicians with NPI numbers that verify as active MDs
- Rendered product pages show compounded injections and capsules alongside branded medication
- The plan chooser states consultation, medication, supplies, shipping and support are included
- Says many assessments do not require a video visit
The caveats
- Its testimonials name a different brand — one describes what the patient 'expected from CareGLP' — and quote doctors (Powers, Italia, Ramey) who are not the medical team the same page names
- The homepage is built around Dr. John Diaz, a real and active physician but a California-licensed plastic surgeon, and the founder rather than the prescriber
- Exact dose, supply quantity and renewal charges remain unconfirmed
- Lower annual equivalents require upfront payment and a 12-month plan that automatically renews
- Brand product prices are labeled first-month only; ongoing charges need confirmation
- No postpartum, breastfeeding or PCOS guidance anywhere on the site
If the likes outweigh the caveats for you, the next step is RxSpan MD's own plans page.

RxSpan lists compounded injections and capsules, with regular monthly plan quotes of $249 for semaglutide, $329 for tirzepatide injection and $349 for tirzepatide capsules. Prepaid discounts require larger commitments; brand prices are marked first-month only. Confirm the exact dose, supply and renewal total before paying.
I look at RxSpan MD 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 RxSpan MD really costs
- Compounded semaglutide — Injection; advertised monthly plan; dose unconfirmed: $249/period
- Oral semaglutide — Capsules; advertised monthly plan; dose unconfirmed: $249/period
- Compounded tirzepatide — Injection; advertised monthly plan; dose unconfirmed: $329/period
- Oral tirzepatide — Capsules; advertised monthly plan; dose unconfirmed: $349/period
Which meds RxSpan MD prescribes
RxSpan MD prescribes semaglutide and tirzepatide. They work differently; a clinician should assess the indication, medical history, contraindications and practical access before choosing between them. It can also route you to FDA-approved brand pens, not just compounded — and the on-label products come with the manufacturer's own pregnancy and lactation labeling, which is a lot cleaner to hand to your OB.
There's a needle-free sublingual option too, which is a relief if injections are the thing stopping you — just set expectations honestly: the under-the-tongue versions are far less studied than the shots the trials actually used.
Who RxSpan MD is — and isn't — for
A good fit if…
- you might need to move between semaglutide and tirzepatide as your body and hormones shift.
- staying covered no matter where you are matters — a move for family shouldn't blow up your care.
Look elsewhere if…
- you want to compare another option before deciding — review the published terms and support offered by CoreAge Rx, our featured partner, alongside this provider.
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.
Pregnancy plans and breastfeeding need a product-specific discussion with your prescriber. Lactation guidance differs by medicine and formulation; limited milk-transfer studies do not establish long-term safety for every infant. See the breastfeeding evidence guide and plan the timing with your own clinician.
So, would I use it?
RxSpan MD is a reasonable option — weigh it against the picks below on nursing and pregnancy timing and canceling without a fight. If you want a second option, CoreAge Rx is our featured partner — you can see them side by side in this head-to-head.
The bottom line for moms
Best for: Someone comparing compounded injections, capsules and branded medication who will confirm the prescribed product, full charge and renewal terms before paying.

Head-to-head & alternatives
RxSpan MD, answered
- Why do the reviews mention a different company?
- Because they appear to have been carried over from one. In the testimonials on RxSpan's own homepage, one patient describes what she 'expected from CareGLP' — a different brand entirely — and the doctors quoted throughout (Powers, Italia, Ramey) aren't the clinicians the same page names as its medical team. I'd treat those quotes as decoration rather than evidence about RxSpan specifically. The verifiable parts of the site hold up better than its social proof does.
- Who is Dr. John Diaz, and is he my doctor?
- Probably not. He's real — board-certified, active, NPI on file — but he's a plastic surgeon licensed in California, and he founded RxSpan rather than prescribing for it. The actual prescribing team is listed separately as Ana Lisa Carr, MD and Kelly Tenbrink, MD, both of whom check out as active in the federal registry. That's a common shape for these brands; just don't read the surgeon on the homepage as the person reviewing your intake.
- What does RxSpan advertise, and what should I confirm?
- The monthly plan chooser lists compounded semaglutide injections and capsules at $249, tirzepatide injections at $329 and tirzepatide capsules at $349 before the displayed startnow discount. Consultation, medication, supplies, shipping and support are included. Exact dose, supply quantity and renewal amount remain unconfirmed. Brand cards show first-month prices of $1,299 for Ozempic, $1,349 for Wegovy and $1,069 for Zepbound; those figures do not establish brand renewal prices. Confirm the prescribed product and complete recurring charge before paying.
- Do I need a video visit?
- The site has described assessment-based approval, with a telehealth visit when the clinician needs more information. Confirm the visit requirement for your case. Separately, monthly and prepaid plans have different commitments; an annual plan is described as a 12-month plan that automatically renews, so do not assume every option can be stopped after one month.
- Are the annual prices monthly payments?
- No. The displayed semaglutide injection offer requires $2,094 upfront for an annual plan and advertises a $175 monthly equivalent. The tirzepatide injection offer requires $2,905 upfront and advertises a $243 monthly equivalent. These are startnow promotional totals for prepaid plans, not standalone monthly charges. The plan is described as a 12-month term that automatically renews; confirm the final total, cancellation deadline and renewal amount before paying. Check RxSpan MD's current plans
- Does RxSpan offer oral medication?
- Yes. The rendered catalog and treatment page list compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide capsules alongside injections. These compounded oral products are not FDA-approved and should not be treated as interchangeable with approved branded tablets or injections.
Pricing, states and verification reflect RxSpan MD'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.
