Cheapest cash options in Minnesota
Cash telehealth prices are set nationally. A Minnesota resident pays the same price as a patient anywhere else in the US. The programs below all serve Minnesota and represent the cheapest all-in monthly price at maintenance dose, as verified against each program's published pricing.
| Program | All-in / mo | What the price covers |
|---|---|---|
| Strut Health | $149/mo | Compounded injectable and oral semaglutide from $149/mo. |
| Found | $169/mo | Widest drug catalog, but the best price needs a 12-month plan. |
| Ivim Health | $175/mo | Cash for compounded, insurance route for brand-name. |
| Mochi Health | $178/mo | One flat price covers every dose, no tier jumps. |
Prices are checked every Monday against each program's published pricing. We do not create accounts or make purchases to verify them. See the full ranked list at the comparison chart.
