Compounded semaglutide
Cora Health review
Cora Health's month-to-month semaglutide plan costs $175, billed once a calendar month, and the price is the same at every dose. The visit, the vial and expedited shipping are all inside that figure. Cora is also unusually open about who fills the order, naming both of its compounding pharmacies.
Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want to know the pharmacy's name before you hand over a card.
- You'd like the option to pause for a few weeks instead of canceling outright.
- You plan to pay with an HSA or FSA card, or split the charge with Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay.
Skip it if
- You want insurance to pay for it, since Cora is cash-pay only.
- You want a price locked for good, since Cora's terms allow increases after notice.
What's included
Semaglutide sits on Cora's Essential Plan. On the monthly option you pay $175 and receive one month of medication per shipment, with supplies, alcohol pads and free expedited shipping. Cora lists longer 3, 6 and 12-month commitments at lower monthly rates, each billed up front for the whole term.
Cora Health is the platform, not the prescriber. Clinicians at Wasef Health, PC, a Florida practice led by Michael Wasef MD, decide whether you qualify and at what dose. Vials come from Hallandale Pharmacy in Fort Lauderdale, which is PCAB-accredited, or from VialsRx. Both are 503A pharmacies, and your label shows which one filled it.
From sign-up to refills
- Fill in Cora's online health questionnaire. The FAQ puts it at 5 to 10 minutes, and you must be 18 or older.
- A licensed provider from Wasef Health reviews your answers, usually within 24 hours.
- If you're approved, the pharmacy prepares your semaglutide and ships it. Cora says delivery typically takes 3 to 5 days from the order.
- Message your provider through the patient portal for dose changes or side effects. The plan renews each month until you cancel.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Both pharmacies are named up front: Hallandale Pharmacy, which is PCAB-accredited, and VialsRx.
- Cora's plans page promises the same $175 at every dose, with no separate membership fee.
- A pause option stops billing until a resume date you pick, handled by a message to the Cora care team.
What isn't
- The monthly plan is the priciest of Cora's four terms, and the cheaper ones are billed in full for 3 to 12 months.
- Subscription prices can rise under Cora's terms, starting with the billing cycle after notice.
- Once Hallandale or VialsRx has prepared and labeled a shipment, Cora won't refund it.
Read these terms first
- Which term you pick
- Cora's headline semaglutide figure is its annual rate, paid as one yearly charge. The monthly plan is $175, and it's the only option you can stop after a single month.
- Canceling a monthly plan
- Message the care team in your portal or email support. A canceled monthly plan stays active through the end of the month you've paid for.
- When a refund applies
- You get your money back in full if you cancel before the first shipment is prepared, or if the provider finds you aren't eligible. A refund can come back to your card, or as Cora credit worth 15% more.
- Damaged or missing boxes
- Report damage or a missing package within 24 hours of delivery, with photos for damage.

Common questions about Cora Health
- Is Cora Health legit?
- Cora Health is a LegitScript-certified telehealth platform. It doesn't prescribe. Licensed providers at Wasef Health, PC make every prescribing decision, and two named 503A pharmacies compound the medication. Compounded semaglutide isn't FDA-approved, and Cora says that plainly on its own pages.
- How much is Cora Health semaglutide per month?
- $175 a month on the monthly plan, at any dose. That includes the provider consultation, the medication, expedited shipping and ongoing monitoring. The quarterly, semi-annual and annual plans cost less per month but are paid for the whole term at once.
- Does Cora Health take insurance?
- No. Cora's services aren't covered by insurance. You can pay with an HSA or FSA card, or split payments through Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay.
- Can you cancel Cora Health anytime?
- Yes. There's no long-term contract on the monthly plan. Send a message to the Cora care team in the patient portal, or email support, before your next shipment. You can pause instead and choose the date billing restarts.
