Independent Wellness review

One provider, 20 states

One nurse practitioner runs it; tirzepatide settles at $299 a month once a $199 first month ends, while semaglutide's later rate appears in two versions.

What Independent Wellness charges, and what it bills

One row per molecule and delivery route. Where the two figures differ, the struck number is what Independent Wellness leads with and the figure under it is what a buyer cannot get below. Both are published by the seller; neither is a walked checkout.

Tirzepatide, injectionRead September 2026The seller does not state what happens as the dose rises.	$299	$1,794	The seller does not state what happens as the dose rises.

The 6-month column is the billed monthly figure multiplied by 6. It is arithmetic on published prices, not a forecast of a bill: a real six months also carries dose changes, labs and shipping, and those are covered below where Independent Wellness states them.

The bottom line

Compounded tirzepatide costs $199 for the first month and $299 a month after that. Semaglutide opens at $99 for the first month. After that, the plan card says $299 and the comparison table on that same page says $199. Until those agree, no semaglutide figure is ranked.

Fees, terms and cancellation at Independent Wellness

Pricing transparency

How Independent Wellness publishes its prices

A first-month price applies only to new patients. For tirzepatide, the plan card and the comparison table both give $299 a month thereafter. For semaglutide, the card gives $299 and the table gives $199. The homepage FAQ also says $199; the site promises the agreed ongoing price never increases. That promise holds only once the ongoing price is stated one way.

The seller

What Independent Wellness is

Independent Wellness is a telehealth practice run by one board-certified family nurse practitioner. It sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide by injection. Microdosing, NAD, glutathione and sermorelin are available on request.

How it works

The first visit is a live telehealth video session. Months two and three can be handled as refills without a call. From then on, a video check-in comes due each quarter. Annual labs are recommended before starting, covering a metabolic panel, lipids, thyroid and HbA1c. Payment is not taken until the provider approves a plan. Care is offered in 20 listed states.

Branded or compounded

Both drugs are compounded. A compounded preparation is not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review it before dispensing. The pharmacy page names three partners: DCA Pharmacy in Franklin, Tennessee, Link Pharmacy in Highland Village, Texas, and Boudreaux's in Lake Charles, Louisiana. No milligram dose is printed beside either price.

Who priced this, and how

Standards editor · Figures last read September 2026

Every figure above is what Independent Wellness publishes on its own pages, read in the month stated beside it, with any charge a buyer cannot decline added back before anything ranks. The rules a price has to meet before it appears here are set out in the methodology. A partnership sets display order on the surfaces that say so and never moves a score — how this site makes money.

Is Independent Wellness legit?

Independent Wellness is a compounded GLP-1 sellers service. Its stated availability: 20 states. What our record does not establish: whether it bills insurance and how its intake works. Ask for those in writing before you pay.

Is Independent Wellness expensive compared with other GLP-1 telehealth sellers providers?

Independent Wellness publishes a starting figure of $299/mo. Across the 397 GLP-1 telehealth sellers providers we review that publish a single monthly figure, those run $49 to $525 with a median of $189, which puts Independent Wellness above the median. The other 60 GLP-1 telehealth sellers providers we review quote only after an intake or price by dose, so they are not in that comparison. A starting figure is not a bill — labs, consultations and shipping are often charged separately, so confirm what your own quote includes.
