Who it suits

Good fit if

  • You're starting at 2.5 mg or 5 mg and want one monthly price with no separate first-month rate.
  • You want to pay month to month, since the 3-month bundle costs more per month here.
  • You'd like the option of a Spanish-speaking doctor.

Look elsewhere if

  • You expect to reach 10 mg or 15 mg soon, when the monthly price climbs.
  • You want a refund if you change your mind, because Care Bare's terms say all sales are final.

What you get

Care Bare's tirzepatide listing says the price includes the consult, the medication and shipping. Each order holds four weekly injections. The price varies by dose: 2.5 mg and 5 mg cost $299, 7.5 mg and 10 mg cost more, and 12.5 mg and 15 mg cost more again.

There are also 3-month, 6-month and 12-month bundles. The 3-month bundle works out higher per month than paying monthly, so check the math before you pick it.

Care Bare runs on the CareGLP platform from CareValidate Inc., a Georgia company. Lion MD physicians handle prescribing, and the FAQ names two more doctors on the supporting team. Four pharmacies fill orders: Belmar in Arizona, Strive and Epiq Scripts in California, and Casa Pharma Rx in Texas.

How it works

  1. Start the intake form, which opens with your name, email and sex assigned at birth.
  2. Answer the health questions. Care Bare says a licensed provider reviews them within 24 hours.
  3. Have a telehealth consultation. The doctor may order screening tests before writing a prescription.
  4. If you're prescribed, delivery typically follows within 5 to 7 days.
  5. Refills arrive monthly by mail-order pharmacy, and the doctor can change your dose.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The $299 monthly price is the same whether you start at 2.5 mg or 5 mg.
  • Care Bare publishes its four pharmacies, from Belmar in Scottsdale to Casa Pharma Rx in Texas.
  • The FAQ says Care Bare serves all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Cons

  • From 7.5 mg the monthly price rises, and it rises again at 12.5 mg.
  • Care Bare's terms say consult fees aren't refundable and all medication sales are final.
  • If no medication is prescribed, Care Bare's listing says you still owe a telehealth consult fee.

Check before you pay

Your dose and your price
Only the 2.5 mg and 5 mg doses cost $299. Ask your provider when a step up is likely, since 7.5 mg is the first dose priced higher.
The bundles
Paying month to month is the better deal against the 3-month bundle. Compare the per-month figure on every plan before paying.
If you aren't prescribed
The product listing says a telehealth consult fee applies when no medication is prescribed. The terms add that consult fees are never refunded.

Care Bare Rx questions

Is Care Bare Rx legit?

Does Care Bare Rx take insurance?
Care Bare's weight-loss page says no insurance is needed. FSA and HSA cards are accepted for every treatment.

Rarely. The terms say consult fees aren't eligible for a refund and prescription products can't be returned. If you think a charge is wrong, message the team through your patient portal.
