Cora's Flat-Rate Pricing Philosophy

Most GLP-1 telehealth services charge more as your dose increases — meaning the better the medication works, the more you pay. Cora operates differently. We charge a single flat monthly rate regardless of your dose level. Whether you're at the starting 0.25mg dose or the maintenance 2.4mg dose of semaglutide, your bill doesn't change. This removes a significant financial disincentive from proper dose titration.

Monthly Pricing Overview

Cora offers two medication options across four commitment lengths. All tiers are all-inclusive: physician-reviewed assessment, prescription, compounded medication, and free expedited shipping. Longer commitments price lower; the monthly plan is the most flexible.

  • Compounded Semaglutide (Essential Plan) — $99/month on the annual commitment ($1,188 billed once), $120/month on the 6-month plan, $145/month on the 3-month plan, $175/month month-to-month.
  • Compounded Tirzepatide (Premium Plan) — $135/month on the annual commitment ($1,620 billed once), $175/month on the 6-month plan, $199/month on the 3-month plan, $225/month month-to-month (the lowest verified monthly-commitment compounded tirzepatide price in our 12-provider sample as of May 2026).
  • No separate consultation fees — physician review is included in every plan tier.
  • No dose-based pricing tiers — the price stays the same throughout your treatment regardless of dose level.
  • No hidden platform fees or membership surcharges.

What's Included in Every Subscription

Your monthly subscription covers more than just the medication. Here is a complete breakdown of what every Cora patient receives:

  • Board-certified physician review of your intake assessment and ongoing health check-ins
  • Compounded medication from a US-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy (VialsRx or Hallandale Pharmacy, PCAB-accredited)
  • All injection supplies (syringes, alcohol swabs, sharps container)
  • Free expedited shipping with cold-chain packaging
  • Access to the Cora patient portal for 24/7 messaging with your care team
  • Dose adjustment support — your physician can adjust your dose at no extra charge
  • Monthly refills automatically coordinated — no need to reorder manually

Payment Options

Cora accepts multiple forms of payment to make treatment as accessible as possible:

  • All major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
  • HSA (Health Savings Account) cards — GLP-1 medications prescribed for obesity qualify
  • FSA (Flexible Spending Account) cards
  • Affirm — pay in monthly installments with 0% APR promotional options
  • Klarna — flexible payment scheduling
  • Afterpay — split your payment into 4 interest-free installments

Shipping Policy

All Cora orders ship free via expedited delivery with temperature-controlled packaging. Standard delivery is 2–4 business days from the date your prescription is approved. Medications are shipped in insulated packaging with ice packs to maintain the 36–46°F cold chain required for peptide medications. You will receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships. Cora ships to all 50 US states through our licensed provider network.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

There are no long-term contracts. You can cancel your subscription at any time through the patient portal or by contacting the support team. Cancellation requests submitted before your next billing cycle will prevent the upcoming charge. Because medications are custom-compounded for each patient, opened or shipped medication is not eligible for return due to safety regulations — but unused, sealed medication that has not shipped may be eligible for a partial credit on a case-by-case basis.
