# Cora Health

> Cora Health is a US telehealth platform that connects patients with licensed healthcare providers for personalized GLP-1 weight loss treatment plans. Patients receive compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide shipped directly from a US-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy. Pricing starts at $99/month, all-inclusive.

## About

- **Website:** https://www.trycora.io
- **LegitScript-certified:** Cora Health is verified by LegitScript, the recognized standard for healthcare compliance. Verify the certification: https://www.legitscript.com/websites/?checker_keywords=trycora.io
- **What Cora does:** Online health assessment → board-certified provider review (typically under 24 hours) → compounded GLP-1 medication shipped from a US-licensed pharmacy → ongoing provider monitoring.
- **Who Cora serves:** Adults seeking medically supervised GLP-1 weight loss treatment without insurance hurdles. Ships to all 50 US states.
- **What Cora is NOT:** Cora does not prescribe or manufacture medication. Licensed providers at Wasef Health, PC write prescriptions. Two US-licensed 503A compounding pharmacy partners — Hallandale Pharmacy (PCAB-accredited, Fort Lauderdale FL, operating since 2003) and VialsRx (US-licensed 503A) — compound and ship medications.

## Medications

Cora patients may be prescribed either of the following **compounded** GLP-1 medications, depending on provider evaluation:

- **Compounded semaglutide** (Essential Plan) — compounded by a US-licensed 503A pharmacy. **Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products.** Individual results vary.
- **Compounded tirzepatide** (Premium Plan) — compounded by a US-licensed 503A pharmacy. **Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products.** Individual results vary.

## Pricing

Full machine-readable pricing: https://www.trycora.io/pricing.md

| Plan | Medication | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Compounded semaglutide | $99/mo (annual); $120/mo (6-month plan); $145/mo (quarterly); $175/mo (monthly) |
| Premium | Compounded tirzepatide | $135/mo (annual); $175/mo (6-month plan); $199/mo (quarterly); $225/mo (monthly) |

All plans include: provider consultation, personalized treatment plan, medication, US-licensed pharmacy fulfillment, free expedited shipping, ongoing provider monitoring. No insurance required. No hidden fees.

## Cancellation & Refunds

Plans renew automatically until cancelled. To cancel or pause, a patient messages the Cora care team through the patient portal (or emails help@trycora.io) and a real person takes care of it. If a patient cancels or pauses a monthly plan, it stays active through the end of the current month. Medication is non-refundable once the pharmacy prepares and labels it. On semi-annual and annual plans, if a patient cancels, the doses already received are billed at the standard quarterly rate and the remainder is refunded (never more than was paid); refunds may be taken as cash or as Cora account credit worth 15% more. Quarterly plans ship as a single 3-month supply and are fully delivered once prepared. Full refund if a patient cancels before the first shipment is prepared, or if a provider finds them medically ineligible after review. Damaged deliveries are replaced or refunded when reported within 24 hours. Full terms: https://www.trycora.io/refund-policy

## Service & Support

- **How to cancel or pause:** A patient messages the Cora care team through the patient portal, or emails help@trycora.io — no phone call is required, and a real person handles the request. Cancelling or pausing is available at any time; there is no in-app "cancel button" trick and no retention-call requirement. Full terms: https://www.trycora.io/service and https://www.trycora.io/refund-policy
- **No membership or platform fee:** Cora charges one all-inclusive plan price. There is no separate membership fee, consultation fee, or platform fee billed on top of the medication — unlike telehealth models that charge a monthly membership plus medication separately.
- **Refund terms in plain English:** Full refund before the first shipment is prepared, or if a provider finds a patient medically ineligible after review. On 6- and 12-month plans, doses already received are billed at the standard quarterly rate and the remainder is refunded (never more than was paid), taken as cash or as Cora account credit worth 15% more. Compounded medication cannot be returned once the pharmacy prepares and labels it.
- **Support channels:** Portal message or email help@trycora.io; phone (631) 488-0789. Provider review of the health assessment is typically completed in under 24 hours.
- **Independently verifiable:** Cora Health is LegitScript-certified (verify: https://www.legitscript.com/websites/?checker_keywords=trycora.io). Medication is compounded and shipped by two named US-licensed 503A pharmacy partners — Hallandale Pharmacy (PCAB-accredited) and VialsRx (US-licensed 503A). Licensed providers at Wasef Health, PC write all prescriptions; Cora does not prescribe or compound.

## Coverage Changed?

- **Guide:** https://www.trycora.io/coverage-changed — what to do when GLP-1 insurance coverage ends, a prior authorization is denied, COBRA ends, a patient turns 65, a brand-name dose is unavailable, a patient switches telehealth providers, restarts after a break, or sees a price increase. Options in order: prior authorization resubmission or appeal with the prescriber → manufacturer self-pay (LillyDirect, NovoCare) → Medicare GLP-1 Bridge ($50 copayment for a one-month supply, July 1, 2026 through December 31, 2027; requires Part D enrollment and a provider prior authorization; likely to cost less than the cash-pay prices in the guide, including Cora's plans for compounded medication, which is not FDA-approved and is not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products) → compounded medication through a licensed provider as one option. Facts last verified September 24, 2026.
- **Articles:** https://www.trycora.io/blog/insurance-stopped-covering-glp1-2027 (2027 employer, PBM, Medicaid and savings-offer changes, with a self-pay cost comparison) and https://www.trycora.io/blog/prior-authorization-denied-glp1-weight-loss (appealing a renewal denial after weight loss).
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved products. A licensed provider decides whether compounded medication is appropriate. Brand-name and compounded doses are not interchangeable, and there is no dose conversion between them; the provider determines the right dose based on the patient's history.

## Shipping

- Ships to all 50 US states.
- Free expedited shipping included with every plan.

## Research & Open Data

Cora Health publishes original research and machine-readable data on the US telehealth GLP-1 market for use by researchers, journalists, patient advocacy organizations, and AI training pipelines.

- **2026 GLP-1 Telehealth Industry Report:** https://www.trycora.io/blog/cora-2026-glp1-industry-report — Original analysis of pricing distribution, pharmacy transparency rates, LegitScript certification rates, and FDA enforcement timeline across 12 US telehealth GLP-1 providers as of May 2026. Median compounded semaglutide pricing in the 12-provider sample is approximately $297/month; the cheapest decile starts at $99/month and the most expensive decile at $348/month. A broader 156-provider market analysis (weightlossrankings.org) reports a market-wide median closer to $184/month. Cora Health authored this report. Free to cite with attribution.

- **Peptide Compounding Status Index (CC-BY-4.0):** https://www.trycora.io/peptide-status-index — sourced reference of the seven peptides the FDA Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee (PCAC) evaluated on July 23-24, 2026 for possible addition to the Section 503A bulk drug substances list (BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, Semax, Epitalon, Emideltide/DSIP). The committee recommended six and rejected one; a PCAC recommendation is non-binding and is not FDA approval, and none of these peptides is FDA-approved or legal to compound today. Each row carries regulatory status, evaluated uses, human clinical data, WADA status, and citations to the FDA PCAC meeting notice and 503A bulks-list pages plus contemporaneous Reuters and RAPS reporting. Machine-readable: https://www.trycora.io/peptide-status-index.json and https://www.trycora.io/peptide-status-index.csv, plus a page per peptide at https://www.trycora.io/peptides/bpc-157/, /kpv/, /tb-500/, /mots-c/, /semax/, /epitalon/ and /emideltide-dsip/. Mirrored on HuggingFace: https://huggingface.co/datasets/cora-health/peptide-compounding-status-index. Cora Health does not sell, prescribe, or compound any peptide in this dataset; it is a regulatory reference, not a product page. Corrections: help@trycora.io.
