Compounded tirzepatide
New Wave Health review
New Wave Health bills $299 every 30 days for compounded tirzepatide, which comes to about $303 a month. The first month on its Monthly Plan is discounted to $149, and the price stays put at every dose. It's a Virginia Beach telehealth platform that pairs the medication with check-ins on food, movement and sleep.
Who it suits
Good fit if
- You want one tirzepatide price that holds as your dose climbs.
- You'd like a care team that asks about diet, sleep and stress, not only refills.
- You'd rather pay one month at a time with no contract.
Look elsewhere if
- You're choosing on the first month alone, since every renewal costs $299.
- You want the compounding pharmacy named before you pay.
- You need a clear written answer on which states are served.
What you get
The Monthly Plan covers the medication, a dedicated provider, dose changes and direct messaging through the patient portal. New Wave's plan screen reads “Same price, every dose,” so moving up from a starting dose doesn't raise the bill. Vials ship temperature-controlled in unmarked packaging.
The provider price index puts New Wave Health’s recorded cost on the same calendar-month basis as other sellers. Check whether the quote covers your prescribed dose and includes the same services. Among the sellers we work with, the Gala review and the Oak review cover the sellers nearest in recorded price; we may earn a commission from those sellers.
New Wave Health calls itself a concierge platform. Independent, board-certified providers make the prescribing calls. Partner compounding pharmacies in the United States prepare the tirzepatide, but the site doesn't say which ones.
The whole-health side is the pitch. Structured check-ins cover nutrition, movement, sleep and stress alongside the dose. The tirzepatide page describes typical candidates as adults with a BMI of 27 or more, or 25 with a weight-related condition.
How it works
- Start the online assessment from the tirzepatide page. New Wave says it takes about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Pick a plan. The Monthly Plan charges $149 for the first month, then $299 every 30 days.
- A licensed provider reviews your history and decides whether tirzepatide is appropriate. If the provider declines, the terms promise a full refund.
- A partner pharmacy prepares the medication and ships it cold to your door.
- Refills renew automatically. You get a notice 5 to 7 days before each charge and a receipt after it.
Pros and cons
Pros
- The plan screen says “Same price, every dose,” so a higher tirzepatide dose never costs more.
- New Wave's terms promise a full refund when the prescribing provider declines to write a prescription.
- Each renewal is announced 5 to 7 days before the card is charged.
Cons
- After the $149 first month, New Wave renews at $299 every 30 days.
- New Wave doesn't name the partner compounding pharmacies that prepare its tirzepatide.
- Returns aren't accepted, and a returned vial carries a disposal fee under New Wave's refund policy.
Check before you pay
- The cancel deadline
- The terms let you switch off auto-refill up to 48 hours before a processing date. The tirzepatide page FAQ asks for 30 days' notice before the next billing cycle instead. Cancel early to be safe.
- Your state
- The homepage FAQ says service covers all 50 states. The tirzepatide page says Virginia and the states where its providers are licensed. Confirm yours during the assessment.
- Disputes
- The terms send disputes to binding individual arbitration and waive class actions. They also explain how to opt out.

New Wave Health questions
- Is New Wave Health legit?
- New Wave Health LLC runs a telehealth platform from Virginia Beach. It connects patients with independent, board-certified providers, and partner U.S. compounding pharmacies fill the prescriptions. Its tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro and isn't FDA-approved, as the site's disclaimer says.
- How much is New Wave Health tirzepatide per month?
- The Monthly Plan is $149 for the first month, then $299 every 30 days. Spread over a calendar month, that's about $303. Medication is included, and the price doesn't change with the dose.
- Does New Wave Health take insurance?
- The homepage says “No insurance required,” and the site doesn't describe billing an insurer. You pay one bundled subscription price by card.
- Can you cancel New Wave Health?
- Yes. Turn off auto-refill in the patient portal at least 48 hours before the next processing date, though the FAQ asks for 30 days' notice. Medication already dispensed or delivered isn't refunded.
