Pharmacy disclosure, dose-tier pricing, medical director credentials, included support, cancellation terms. The five-minute pre-signup interview that protects you from the worst telehealth tier.
Before signing up for any GLP-1 telehealth provider, ask five specific questions: (1) Which named pharmacy fills my prescription? (2) Does the monthly rate apply at maintenance dose? (3) Who is your medical director and how do I verify their credentials? (4) What's bundled in the monthly rate? (5) What are the cancellation terms? Reputable providers answer all five directly. Providers that evade any one are showing you a red flag.
The answer should include: pharmacy name, state of licensure, and 503A or 503B status. A reputable provider tells you this before you pay. If a provider says "we use multiple partners depending on your state," ask for the full list. If they refuse to provide names, walk away.
NexLife's answer: Six named partners — Empower (TX, 503A+B), Strive (AZ, 503A), Hallandale (FL, 503A+B), Medivera (MO, 503B), Absolute (OH, 503B), RedRock (UT, 503B). Listed publicly at /pharmacy-verification-database.html.
The answer should be either "yes, flat across the full 0.25-2.4 mg titration" or a clear schedule of dose-tier prices. If the page advertises $99/month but doesn't state the maintenance-dose price, that's a flag.
NexLife's answer: $145/mo on the 12-month plan applies flat across the full titration. Annual total: $1,740. See the dose-tiered math.
The answer should include a named individual with credentials. Verify through the FSMB DocInfo lookup at fsmb.org/spex/. License status, disciplinary history, and specialty board certifications are all public.
NexLife's answer: Adam Kennah, M.D. — Medical Director, NexLife Inc. Profile here. Verifiable through FSMB.
The answer should specify exactly what's included vs add-on. Verify: initial medical evaluation, refill coordination, shipping, side-effect support, labs if applicable. Often billed separately: consultation fees ($50-$200), lab fees ($75-$200), shipping ($15-$50/refill), membership fees ($99-$199/mo).
NexLife's answer: $145/mo on the 12-month plan includes medical evaluation, prescribing, compounded semaglutide medication, shipping, and Care360 patient support. No separate membership, consultation, or shipping fees.
The answer should be in writing before signup. 12-month plans typically have prorated cancellation fees. Auto-renewal is common — confirm whether the plan auto-renews and how to opt out.
NexLife's answer: Cancellation terms disclosed at signup. The $145/mo rate is contingent on the 12-month commitment. Shorter plans (3-mo at $149/mo, 6-mo at $147/mo, month-to-month at $165/mo) also available without lock-in.
Compounded semaglutide is not an FDA-approved drug product. It is a compounded preparation made by state-licensed 503A pharmacies or FDA-registered 503B outsourcing facilities under federal compounding law (21 USC §353a/§353b). Not identical or generic-equivalent to brand-name Wegovy or Ozempic. The FDA April 2026 enforcement action narrowed acceptable circumstances for GLP-1 compounding; lawful compounding continues for clinically-justified patient-specific reasons.
