This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. MadeMed is a telehealth platform — medical services are provided by Xpedicare, LLC and its affiliated licensed providers. All medications are compounded and not FDA-approved finished products. Consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any prescription treatment.
Before I went through the research process that led me to write a full MadeMed review, I spent a frustrating amount of time trying to find a straight answer to a simple question: what does it actually cost, and what happens after you submit your information?
Most telehealth platforms bury the details. You get a landing page headline price and then discover the real number after you've already entered your email. This breakdown is built to answer the pricing and process questions before that happens — so you can decide whether MadeMed belongs on your shortlist without needing to go through the intake form first.
What You're Actually Paying For
MadeMed operates on a subscription model. You're paying for a bundle that includes the telehealth consultation, prescription management (if a prescription is approved), and medication fulfillment through a partner compounding pharmacy — either AbsoluteRx or Red Rock Pharmacy.
All programs are cash-pay. There is no insurance billing. This is standard across the compounded GLP-1 telehealth market. If you have insurance that covers branded GLP-1 medications like Wegovy or Zepbound, those programs would route through a traditional pharmacy and likely have a different cost structure. MadeMed is built for the cash-pay population — people who either don't have insurance coverage for these medications or who are actively looking for a lower-cost access point while branded options remain at $1,000+ per month without coverage.
Published Pricing Range
Based on pricing information verified across multiple published sources, MadeMed's programs are priced from approximately $99 to $269 per month. The low end of that range — around $99 — applies to entry-level doses of certain formats. The oral sublingual semaglutide has been cited at approximately $169 per month at starter pricing. Pricing increases at higher doses, which is consistent with how compounding pharmacies price GLP-1 medications across the industry.
MadeMed also offers a membership tier called MadeMed Club, which appears to reduce per-month costs compared to the standard subscription price. The exact Club membership fee was not independently confirmed in public sources at the time this was written — verify current membership terms at mademed.com before enrolling.
Important context on these numbers: pricing in the compounded GLP-1 telehealth market has been changing as the regulatory environment evolves. Treat any figure in this article as a starting reference point and verify current pricing directly with the platform before making a decision.
A Note on Oral Sublingual Formats and What the Data Shows
MadeMed offers both injectable and oral sublingual (under-the-tongue) formats for semaglutide and tirzepatide. If needle aversion is part of why you're looking at sublingual options, that's a legitimate preference. But there's a clinical distinction worth understanding before you choose the format.
The weight loss outcomes cited in clinical literature for GLP-1 medications — approximately 15 to 17 percent mean body weight loss for branded injectable semaglutide in the STEP trials, and 20.2 percent for tirzepatide versus 13.7 percent for semaglutide in SURMOUNT-5 — are based on injectable branded medications studied in peer-reviewed clinical trials. Compounded sublingual formulations have not been evaluated through the same standard of clinical evidence. The pharmacokinetics of sublingual absorption for these compounds are not well established in published literature, and at least one ongoing legal challenge has raised questions about whether compounded oral tirzepatide achieves meaningful therapeutic absorption at all. This is an open question — not settled either way — and it's one to bring up directly with the prescribing clinician before choosing a delivery format.
How the Enrollment Process Works, Step by Step
The enrollment process at MadeMed follows the same structure used by most telehealth GLP-1 platforms. You complete an online health questionnaire that covers your medical history, current medications, allergies, and weight loss goals. A licensed provider from Xpedicare, LLC — the independent medical group that handles clinical services — reviews your submission. If the provider determines GLP-1 treatment is clinically appropriate for you, a prescription is sent to a partner pharmacy for compounding and fulfillment. If a prescription is not approved, you won't be charged for medication.
MadeMed's Terms of Use are explicit that no prescription is guaranteed: the decision rests entirely with the prescribing clinician. Providers do not prescribe DEA-controlled substances through this platform.
Once enrolled, billing recurs every 30 or 90 days depending on the plan you select. You can cancel at any time by emailing [email protected] or through your account portal. Cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. The Terms of Use state that no prorated refunds are offered — once a billing period starts, that cycle runs to completion regardless of cancellation timing.
State Availability
MadeMed is available in approximately 40 states. Certain medications may be restricted in some states due to state-specific regulations. The platform's Terms of Use note that services “are subject to state law and may not be available in your state” and that accessing the site from jurisdictions where services aren't offered is prohibited. Verify that your specific state and medication combination is available before submitting personal information or starting enrollment.
What Happens After You Cancel
Per the Terms of Use, cancellations take effect at the end of the current billing period. There are no prorated refunds. If you enrolled in a 90-day billing cycle and cancel mid-cycle, the remaining cycle runs out before the cancellation takes effect. The platform does not offer a results guarantee based on confirmed public information at time of writing — unlike some competitors that offer refunds after a defined period with no weight loss. Confirm current refund and guarantee terms directly with MadeMed before enrolling.
How This Fits Into a Broader Weight Loss Strategy
GLP-1 therapy — whether through a telehealth platform or a traditional clinic — is a medically supervised intervention, not a standalone lifestyle product. The clinical outcomes cited in research were achieved in the context of trials that included behavioral and dietary support alongside the medication. Using a telehealth platform for access to the prescription while working with your primary care physician or a registered dietitian for the behavioral layer tends to produce better outcomes than relying on the telehealth platform alone for everything.
If you're still in the early stages of deciding whether GLP-1 therapy makes sense compared to other approaches, or if you want to understand how MadeMed's structure compares to MEDVi — the other platform I've reviewed in depth on this site — start with the MadeMed review or the full MadeMed vs. MEDVi comparison.
