GobyMeds sells new patients a 12-week tirzepatide starter bundle for $399, which its pricing page shows as $133 a month. Averaged over calendar months, that comes to about $145. You pay once for the whole bundle, and nothing renews by itself afterwards.

Who it suits

Good fit if

  • You're new to tirzepatide and want three months of medication, the consult and shipping covered by one payment.
  • You dislike subscriptions. GobyMeds says it runs no auto-renewals and no membership fees.
  • You want to pay with an HSA or FSA card.

Look elsewhere if

  • You're already on a higher dose, since the starter price is only for first-time patients starting low.
  • You'd rather not remember to reorder. Every refill is a fresh order you place yourself.
  • You want your money back if you change your mind after the medication ships.

What you get

The starter bundle holds 12 weeks of compounded tirzepatide, the provider consultation, an injection kit and shipping, all inside the $399. It begins at the lowest dose and steps up slowly. After that, GobyMeds prices tirzepatide by plan. A single month costs the same at any dose, while its 12-week bundles are priced by the highest weekly dose they reach.

Licensed providers from independent medical groups decide whether you get a prescription. It then goes to a 503A or 503B pharmacy partner licensed in your state. The tirzepatide FAQ says the vial ships refrigerated overnight at no charge and can arrive in as little as 2 days.

Your formula may include an additive such as vitamin B6, B12, NAD+ or glycine. Providers choose these case by case, mainly for comfort and side effects. Ask in your intake if you'd rather have plain tirzepatide.

How it works

  1. Take the free 60-second quiz on GobyMeds' site to see whether tirzepatide might suit you.
  2. Complete the online health intake. A licensed U.S. provider reviews it and decides whether to prescribe.
  3. If you're approved, the prescription goes to a partner pharmacy, which ships the vial cold to your door.
  4. When the bundle runs low, place a new order through the patient portal. Your loyalty credit from the last order can go toward it.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • The 12-week starter bundle is one $399 payment covering medication, consult, injection kit and shipping.
  • The terms of service rule out subscriptions, memberships and auto-renewals at GobyMeds, so nothing bills you by surprise.
  • Each completed order earns GobyMeds loyalty credit, and starter bundles earn the most toward your next order.

Cons

  • The $133 monthly figure only applies to first-time patients buying the 12-week starter bundle.
  • GobyMeds' FAQ calls every prescription final sale, so shipped tirzepatide can't be returned for a refund.
  • Canceling after a provider has reviewed you can cost a consultation fee under GobyMeds' refund policy.

GobyMeds questions

Is GobyMeds legit?
GobyMeds is the trading name of Goby Health LLC, based in Dover, Delaware. It runs the platform and billing. Independent medical groups handle prescribing, and licensed pharmacies fill orders. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved, which GobyMeds says on its own pages.
How much is GobyMeds tirzepatide per month?
The 12-week starter bundle is $399, advertised as $133 a month and about $145 per calendar month. It's for first-time patients. A single month of GobyMeds' compounded semaglutide is $169.
Does GobyMeds take insurance?
No. GobyMeds doesn't bill insurance. It takes major credit cards and HSA or FSA cards, and support can send a letter of medical necessity if your plan asks for one.
Can you cancel GobyMeds?
There's no subscription to cancel, because each order is a one-time purchase. To stop an order already placed, contact support before the prescription goes to the pharmacy.
