Is it right for you?
Worth a look if
- You want semaglutide billed one month at a time, with no multi-month commitment.
- You'd like free follow-ups with a clinician included in the monthly fee.
- You want your health savings card to cover the program.
Skip it if
- The introductory month is what drew you in, because it doesn't repeat.
- You'd rather compare plans before handing over contact details.
- You live outside the states the FAQ lists.
What's included
Semaglutide is sold on a single one-month term. The first charge is $99. Each monthly renewal after that is $199, charged before the cycle starts.
That fee covers the medication when it's prescribed, clinician access and free tracked delivery. Transparent Meds advertises no surprise membership fees and no processing charges added at the end of checkout.
Rush Pharmacy, a 503A compounding pharmacy, prepares the once-weekly injection for each patient and ships it cold with syringes. Prescribing sits with LocumTele, an independent network of licensed U.S. clinicians.
From sign-up to refills
- Answer the GLP-1 questionnaire online. It covers your weight goal, conditions, current medications, allergies and state.
- Set up an account. The plan and payment screens come after this step.
- A LocumTele clinician reviews your answers. Labs or an in-person step are ordered only if the clinician thinks they're needed.
- After approval, Rush Pharmacy usually ships within one to two business days.
- Stay in touch with your care team between refills. Each month renews automatically.
What's good, what isn't
What's good
- Transparent Meds keeps semaglutide on one plan, so there is no prepay bundle to decode.
- Rush Pharmacy fills every order, and Transparent Meds names it in its FAQ.

What isn't
- Only the first month is $99; semaglutide renews at $199 after that.
- Transparent Meds shows its plan screen only after you create an account.
- Refunds stop once a LocumTele clinician starts review or Rush Pharmacy begins filling the order.

Common questions about Transparent Meds
- Is Transparent Meds legit?
- It's a Delaware company, Transparent Meds LLC, that connects patients with LocumTele clinicians and Rush Pharmacy. The company doesn't prescribe or make medication itself. Compounded semaglutide is not Wegovy or Ozempic and hasn't been FDA-approved, as the site's own disclaimer notes.
- How much is Transparent Meds semaglutide per month?
- $199 a month after an introductory first month of $99. Shipping and clinician follow-ups are included.
- Does Transparent Meds take insurance?
- No. You pay directly, with a card, HSA or FSA, and can ask for detailed receipts to claim reimbursement.
- Can you cancel Transparent Meds?
- Yes. The FAQ says you can pause or cancel any time with no cancellation fee. The month you've paid for isn't prorated.
