Head-to-head comparison
Blue Sky MD vs Mint Med
Two GLP-1 providers, one scorecard. Both are graded on the same six Desk Score dimensions — here is how they stack up, and which one fits you.
Desk Score
Blue Sky MD is a LegitScript-certified medical weight-loss practice founded in 2008 with seven North Carolina clinics and telehealth visits available.
From $160/mo (lowest dose rung) sema · From $240/mo (lowest dose rung) tirz · Verified July 2026

Mint Med is a national, no-membership compounded-GLP-1 telehealth platform offering semaglutide and tirzepatide on a flat "all doses" price — avoiding the per-tier escalation common as patients titrate up.
$159/mo sema · $159/mo tirz · Verified July 2026
