By ·Editor·Reviewed

Nova MD sells compounded tirzepatide with B12 for $199 a month on its monthly plan, and the doctor visit and overnight shipping sit inside that price. There's no membership fee. If the prescriber doesn't approve you, Nova says you won't be charged.

Who it suits

Good fit if

  • You want tirzepatide that arrives already mixed, with no powder to reconstitute.
  • You'd rather pay one month at a time and keep the option to pause from your account.
  • You plan to pay with an HSA or FSA card.

Look elsewhere if

  • You want to see what higher doses cost before signing up. The site prints one figure per plan and no dose chart.
  • You want to know which pharmacy fills your order before you pay.
  • You'd need help on a weekend. Nova's contact hours run Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm Eastern.

What you get

The monthly plan costs $199 and is billed each month. It covers the provider consultation, the medication and free overnight shipping. The product is listed as compounded tirzepatide with B12, sent ready to use rather than as a powder you mix yourself. A quarterly plan lowers the monthly rate in exchange for one charge every three months.

Nova MD is the trading name of JM Health Group LLC, and it doesn't prescribe or compound anything itself. Doctors from Beluga, a network of U.S.-licensed physicians, decide whether you qualify. Independent licensed pharmacies fill and ship the prescription, usually within 1 to 2 business days.

How it works

  1. Pick the monthly or quarterly plan and complete the online assessment, which Nova says takes about five minutes.
  2. Check out, then a Beluga clinician reviews your case. Nova says a provider usually picks it up within one business day, and a declined request isn't charged.
  3. Once you're approved, a partner pharmacy prepares the vial and it ships overnight at no cost.
  4. Refills renew on your plan's schedule. You can pause from the patient portal under Treatment, then Manage.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Nova lists its tirzepatide as “Ready-to-Use”, so there's no powder to mix before the first injection.
  • Overnight shipping is free on every order, and the $199 monthly plan includes the doctor visit.
  • If an order hasn't shipped within 10 business days, Nova's refund policy returns everything, doctor fee included.

Cons

  • Once the pharmacy has filled an order, Nova won't cancel it unless 10 days pass without it shipping.
  • Canceling after a Beluga doctor approves you but before the fill still costs the doctor consultation fee.
  • The tirzepatide page shows one price per plan and no dose chart, so what Nova charges at higher doses isn't spelled out.

Check before you pay

The renewal cutoff
Cancel a renewal at least 2 days before the renewal date, in the patient portal or by a portal message. If Nova misses a request sent in time, it refunds that renewal in full.
Pausing instead of canceling
The portal lets you pause a treatment under Treatment, then Manage. A paused treatment isn't billed until you restart it.
Price at higher doses
The site shows a single monthly figure for tirzepatide. Ask support whether it holds as your dose goes up, especially before choosing the quarterly plan.

Nova MD questions

Is Nova MD legit?
Nova MD is run by JM Health Group LLC. It doesn't prescribe, compound or dispense drugs itself. Beluga's U.S.-licensed doctors make the prescribing decision, and independent licensed pharmacies fill the order. The tirzepatide is compounded, so it isn't FDA-approved and isn't Zepbound or Mounjaro, which Nova's own pages state.
How much is Nova MD tirzepatide per month?
$199 a month on the monthly plan, billed each month. That covers the provider consultation, the medication and overnight shipping, with no membership fee. A quarterly plan costs less per month but is charged every three months. Nova's semaglutide is $175 a month.
Can you cancel Nova MD?
Yes. Cancel a renewal from the patient portal at least 2 days before it's due. An order the pharmacy has already filled or shipped can't be canceled, and prescription drugs can't be returned.
Can I pay for Nova MD with an HSA or FSA?
Yes. Nova's tirzepatide page lists its plans as FSA and HSA eligible.
