Nova review

What the figure does not cover

Fees, terms and cancellation at Nova

Outside the headline

Nova requires a care fee and states it is already contained in the published injection figures, read August 2026, rather than charged on top of them.

Prepay

The oral semaglutide line ships and bills its first three months together at $269 on provider approval, read August 2026. What happens to that payment if the plan stops inside the three months is not stated.

Shipping

Nova states shipping sits inside the all-in injection figures rather than being billed separately, read August 2026.

Pricing transparency

How Nova publishes its prices

Nova's own description of its injection pricing is medication, shipping and the care charge counted together, read August 2026. Six months at the $198 semaglutide rate is $1,188. The oral lines look cheaper at $156 and $174. But the semaglutide oral does not bill by the month at all to begin with: its first three months ship and bill as one $269 charge once a provider approves. Nova also states that the rate climbs with the dose, so each figure here marks a starting point rather than a settled monthly cost.

The seller

What Nova is

Nova is a telehealth seller offering compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, each in an injected and an oral form. It operates in two states, Texas and Florida, so the entry is useful only to readers in one of them. Four lines carry published figures.

How it works

Treatment is arranged remotely, and the mandatory Nova Care charge is the part of this service that decides what the numbers mean. Nova counts that charge inside the two injection figures instead of billing it separately, so the amount printed on the page is the amount owed. That is the opposite of the pattern this site usually documents, where a buyer discovers a standing charge only once the membership has been paid.

Branded or compounded

All four lines are compounded, which means they are not FDA-approved and are not reviewed by the agency before they are dispensed. Nova labels its oral tirzepatide a sublingual microdose and warns on its own pages against reading its milligram figure across to an injection. A buyer scanning the four numbers would otherwise take the two oral lines for discounted versions of the two injections, which on the dosing they describe they are not.

Where the money holds, and where it moves

Who this is worth it for

Buyers in Texas or Florida who would rather see a mandatory charge priced than discover it.

Who should price elsewhere

Anyone outside those two states, and anyone who cannot pay three months at once.

Who priced this, and how

Every figure above is what Nova 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.
