The costs at a glance
| Published price reference | $299/10-week protocol Advertised compounded semaglutide protocol |
|---|---|
| Medication | Compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide if prescribed |
| Commitment | Ten-week advertised protocol; confirm subsequent billing |
| Important context | The page also says $99/month, but ten weeks is shorter than three calendar months. Renewal, dose-specific supply and extra charges need confirmation. |
Start with $299 for ten weeks
Live Vital advertises compounded semaglutide as a ten-week protocol costing $299 while also showing a $99 monthly starting price. Ten weeks is 70 days, not three calendar months. We therefore use the stated protocol total as our main reference. Dividing $299 by ten gives $29.90 per week; multiplying by four gives $119.60 per four weeks for comparison only. Neither calculation changes the actual payment schedule. Ask how much medication your selected dose includes and what happens to the supply period if the clinician adjusts treatment. Read our billing-period guide for the questions to take into enrollment.
Tirzepatide is a different protocol budget
The tirzepatide treatment page lists $549 for ten weeks and a $183 monthly heading. Use $549 when comparing the purchase: it works out to $54.90 per week, or $219.60 per four weeks as an illustrative equivalent. It should not be compared directly with a calendar-month fee or a membership that excludes medication. Confirm whether the next protocol uses the same rate and quantity. The two medicines are separate clinical choices, so a lower purchase price alone is not a reason to switch or request a particular prescription.

An optional call before the medical intake
Live Vital offers a free 15-minute telephone consultation for people who want to speak with the medical team before beginning. Shoppers can also start with the online medical screening. The homepage says clinical review generally takes 24 to 48 hours and that prescribing depends on suitability. Those are advertised expectations, not guaranteed turnaround times. Use the introductory call to establish practical details: the exact payment schedule, how follow-up is arranged and who answers clinical questions. A consultation can help you understand the service without establishing that treatment will be prescribed. Read our telehealth appointment checklist for the questions to take into enrollment.
Messaging is the center of follow-up
The treatment pages describe access to the care team through messaging, while the process page explains portal-based adjustments and refill requests. This can suit someone comfortable with online follow-up, but the useful question is what happens when a concern needs a clinician rather than administrative support. Ask about typical response windows, coverage outside normal hours and when a telephone or video visit is arranged. Keep your existing healthcare team informed as appropriate. A convenient portal is a communication method; it does not remove the need for individualized assessment and follow-up. Read our provider checklist for the questions to take into enrollment.
Confirm what arrives with the prescription
The process page describes home delivery with supplies and administration information. Before purchasing, request an itemized statement of medication, shipping, supplies and any laboratory charges. Also ask which pharmacy will prepare your order and how a temperature or delivery concern should be reported. A broad statement about a licensed U.S. pharmacy does not identify the actual dispenser on your prescription. Once that name is available, verify it separately and keep the order details. Avoid translating an advertised supply length into dosing instructions; the clinician and prescription label control those directions. Read our pharmacy verification guide for the questions to take into enrollment.
The refund question to settle before payment
The refund policy says cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period and that compounded or shipped medication is generally non-refundable. It does not provide a completed answer about collection of payment before clinical review or the refund when no prescription is issued. Ask for that answer in writing before entering payment details. Also confirm whether a new ten-week purchase is automatic or requires approval. Cancellation should be timed against the actual order and billing dates, not an assumption that all care ends on the day you request it. Read our cancellation and refund guide for the questions to take into enrollment.
Cash pay and geographic availability
Live Vital describes itself as a cash-pay practice. Its terms mention superbills for possible reimbursement, while the homepage describes eligible HSA/FSA spending; neither establishes that your plan will reimburse treatment. The dedicated state page currently lists all 50 states and says patients must be physically located where its clinicians are authorized to practice. Confirm the exact offer for your location, especially if you travel during treatment. Keep prescription eligibility, pharmacy shipping and payment eligibility as separate checks rather than interpreting one broad availability claim as approval of all three.

Our view of the fit
Live Vital offers a clear protocol purchase to investigate, plus the chance to ask questions before starting and ongoing portal contact. Its principal budgeting weakness is the mismatch between monthly headlines and ten-week totals, followed by the unanswered no-prescription refund question. We would resolve both before selecting it over a monthly program. The treatment pages identify compounded products, not branded Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound purchases. Keep that distinction visible when comparing alternatives, and choose based on the actual medication and care arrangement rather than the smallest displayed number. Read our branded versus compounded guide for the questions to take into enrollment. For a different program structure, compare our Enhance MD review.
Before you sign up
- What will the next ten-week protocol cost at my prescribed dose?
- When is payment collected, and what is refunded if no prescription is issued?
- Which pharmacy, shipping charges and supplies apply to my order?
Use the answers to compare the exact offer with another provider. A service review cannot determine whether a medication is appropriate for you; that decision belongs with your clinician.
