Comparing TelosRX and Push Health for GLP-1 weight loss comes down to pricing transparency and program structure. TelosRX publishes every price upfront and starts at $49/mo; Push Health connects you to a network of independent providers, with pricing determined after intake.
For upfront pricing, needle-free options, and included clinical support, TelosRX is the more predictable choice. Push Health suits patients who want a broad provider marketplace and access to brand-name GLP-1s like Wegovy and Zepbound.

What is Push Health?
Push Health is a telehealth marketplace that connects patients with a network of independent, licensed healthcare providers. It is LegitScript-certified and offers a broad range of medical services — from GLP-1 weight-loss medications (including brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound) to antibiotics, birth control, hormone therapy, and more.
Rather than operating as a single integrated clinic, Push Health acts as a platform. Patients are matched with individual providers who set their own pricing and determine care protocols. The platform integrates with Quest Diagnostics and claims a network of over 55,000 partner pharmacies for fulfillment.
Pricing is not published upfront — it is determined by the individual provider you are matched with after intake. This marketplace model gives patients flexibility in provider choice, which can be a genuine advantage for those who want to shop around.
Medications: what each program offers
Both programs center on the same foundational drug class. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist studied extensively for weight management. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. Both are the active ingredients in FDA-approved brands like Wegovy and Zepbound. See the NIH NIDDK overview of prescription medications for weight management for clinical context.
The compounded versions offered by TelosRX are not FDA-approved. They are prepared under federal compounding regulations by licensed US compounding pharmacies. TelosRX also offers formats not typically found elsewhere: needle-free oral tirzepatide and a lower-dose microdosed tirzepatide program for those who want a gentler start.
Push Health's network providers can prescribe brand-name GLP-1s such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound — FDA-approved medications. Whether insurance covers these depends on individual circumstances. The FDA's approval of tirzepatide for chronic weight management marked a significant milestone for this drug class.
Key takeaway: TelosRX offers compounded tirzepatide and semaglutide at published prices from $49/mo, with unique needle-free formats. Push Health gives you access to brand-name GLP-1s through its provider network, at pricing set by individual providers.
Pricing and transparency
This is one of the sharpest differences between the two programs.
TelosRX publishes every plan before you sign up:
- From $49/mo — microdosed tirzepatide, 12-month plan
- $99 your first month — standard tirzepatide, 12-month plan
- $145, $199, or $399 first month — 6-month, 3-month, or single-month plans
HSA and FSA are accepted, no membership fee, and you can cancel anytime.
Push Health does not publish pricing publicly. The platform emphasizes "100% price transparency" for patients once inside, but costs depend on the individual provider you are matched with — which means you will not know your price until after intake. This is worth factoring into your decision if predictability matters to you.

How the process works
TelosRX is asynchronous from start to finish. You complete a short online intake — no appointment, no waiting room — and a US-licensed provider reviews your information, typically within a few hours. If approved, medication ships free within 48 hours.
Push Health works as a marketplace. You submit a request for a telehealth service, and the platform connects you with an available provider in their network. The specific visit format — whether messaging-based or a live video call — can vary by provider. Prescriptions are filled through Push Health's network of pharmacies.
Both platforms require a licensed provider to review and approve any prescription. Neither service prescribes automatically, and approval is subject to medical review.
Coaching and ongoing support
TelosRX includes care-team messaging, dose adjustments as your body responds, and quarterly labs — all built into the program. You are not starting a medication and then navigating follow-up on your own.
With Push Health, the depth of ongoing support depends on the individual provider you are matched with. The platform itself integrates with Quest Diagnostics for lab access, but coaching and follow-up protocols are not standardized across the marketplace.
If consistent clinical touchpoints and predictable support matter to you, TelosRX's integrated care model is easier to compare and plan around. If you prefer choosing your own provider and negotiating the level of support directly, Push Health's marketplace gives you that flexibility.
Safety and medical oversight
Both platforms require a licensed provider to evaluate you before any GLP-1 medication is prescribed. No prescription is automatic on either platform.
GLP-1 medications are not appropriate for everyone. Providers screen for contraindications, including personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, and pregnancy. Side effects — particularly nausea and digestive changes — are common in the early weeks of treatment.
TelosRX includes quarterly labs and ongoing care-team access so that concerns surface early. Share your full medical history during intake on either platform — approval is subject to evaluation by a licensed provider, and your safety history matters to that review.
Which service is right for you?
Best for patients who want upfront pricing, needle-free or microdosed tirzepatide options, included quarterly labs, and a single LegitScript-certified program with built-in clinical support — starting from $49/mo.
Best if you want access to brand-name GLP-1s like Wegovy, Zepbound, or Ozempic through a broad provider marketplace, or prefer the ability to choose your own provider and negotiate care terms directly.
For most patients who want a predictable, affordable start with transparent pricing and built-in support, TelosRX is the more straightforward path. Push Health is worth considering if brand-name medication access or provider choice is the priority.
