How we compare — and how to read this
We compare programs on the factors that actually affect a patient: real price (including whether it's compounded or branded), medications and formulations offered, shipping, pharmacy accreditation and clinician model, insurance stance, and commitment. We name a top pick for most people, but we show the trade-offs in full so you can override it when your priorities or insurance point the other way. Pricing is provider-reported and changes frequently — and compounded-drug availability shifts with FDA shortage status — so always confirm the current details on the provider's own site before enrolling.
