Is it right for you?

Worth a look if

  • You're beginning at 0.25 mg and want your first months to cost $199.
  • You'd rather pay month to month than lock into a bundle.
  • You live in Puerto Rico, which Care Bare lists alongside all 50 states.

Skip it if

  • You'd like one price at every dose. Care Bare charges more from 0.5 mg up.
  • You want your money back if you're not prescribed, since a consult fee still applies.

What's included

Care Bare lists semaglutide as four weekly subcutaneous injections per order, with consult, medication and shipping in the price. The starting 0.25 mg dose is $199. The 0.5 mg and 1 mg doses share a higher price, and 1.5 mg and 2 mg share a higher one again.

You can also buy 3, 6 or 12 months at once. The 3-month bundle comes to the same per month as paying monthly at a higher dose, so it saves a beginner nothing.

The medical side runs through CareGLP, a patient platform from CareValidate Inc. Lion MD doctors prescribe, and Care Bare's homepage says Spanish-speaking physicians are available. The FAQ names four fulfilling pharmacies, including Belmar Pharmacy in Scottsdale and Strive Pharmacy in Torrance.

From sign-up to refills

  1. Open the intake. It starts with basic details, then moves on to your health history.
  2. A licensed provider looks over the form, within 24 hours according to Care Bare's homepage.
  3. Talk with the doctor by telehealth. Screening tests may be ordered first.
  4. When a prescription is written, expect the package in about 5 to 7 days.
  5. A fresh supply ships every month from the mail-order pharmacy.

What's good, what isn't

What's good

  • Beginners at 0.25 mg pay $199 a month with the consult and shipping included.
  • Four named pharmacies, including Epiq Scripts in Clovis, fill Care Bare's orders.
  • Care Bare accepts FSA and HSA cards for every treatment it sells.

What isn't

  • Moving to 0.5 mg raises the monthly price, and 1.5 mg raises it again.
  • The Care Bare listing says a telehealth consult fee is owed if no semaglutide is prescribed.
  • Care Bare's terms rule out refunds on consult fees and make every sale final.

Read these terms first

When the price changes
The $199 figure holds only at 0.25 mg. Ask what 0.5 mg and 1 mg will cost before your provider moves you up.
Monthly or bundled
Look at the per-month price of each bundle. The 3-month bundle isn't cheaper per month than a monthly order at the starting dose.
Fees that stay charged
Consult fees aren't refundable under Care Bare's terms. That includes the fee listed for when no medication is prescribed.
