Henry Meds

Cons

−F rating with the Better Business Bureau, with 27 of 233 complaints left unanswered.[6]
−An open Eli Lilly lawsuit against Adonis Health, the company trading as Henry Meds, over its compounded tirzepatide; the judge let it proceed in part in September 2025.[7]

LifeMD

Pros

+One of only four programs with a dedicated prior-authorization team closing approvals in days rather than weeks.[2]
+Branded medication, no compounding exposure.[1]
+Month-to-month.[1]

Cons

−$498 a month once Novo's $349 is added to the $149 program fee — you pay for the PA team's work whether or not your plan ever covers the drug.[1]
