What does Livea cost?
Each figure exactly as Livea publishes it, with the condition attached to it spelled out.
Semaglutide
$99/mo (plus a separate fee, compounded)
$99 a month buys the medication, and a separate membership or program fee is charged on top.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for semaglutide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
Tirzepatide
$199/mo (compounded)
That is a flat month-to-month rate: $199 a month, with no plan term attached to the figure.
Median tirzepatide figure across this site: $264 a month, of 163 providers with a published month-to-month price and a check date. Livea's $199 a month sits $65 below it.
On semaglutide, a separate membership or program fee is charged on top of the figure above, so the number to compare is the total for the month rather than the medication line alone.
All figures as published on Livea's own site and read in July 2026. Prices change — confirm before you order.

Weigh Livea against the full ranked field on the best semaglutide providers ranking, or line it up against its closest alternatives. Or go one-on-one: Livea vs CoreAge Rx. Because Livea dispenses compounded medication, it’s worth understanding whether compounded GLP-1 is legit and safe.
Desk Score breakdown
Each of the six scored dimensions. See the methodology.
What we like
- LegitScript certified; physician-owned Livea Medical PLLC; Medical Director Dr. Paul Olson, internal medicine/nephrology, 40 years experience
- Compounded sema from $99/mo and tirz from $199/mo — significantly cheaper than brand Ozempic/Wegovy ($1,000+/mo self-pay)
- Comprehensive program: InBody scans, registered dietitian nutrition counseling, health coaching, and regular provider check-ins included
- 15+ years established (founded 2011); 50,000+ clients served; voted Minnesota's Best Weight Loss Program 5 consecutive years
- Medications shipped to door; same-day consultations; in-person or telehealth; typically HSA/FSA eligible
Where points come off
- Telehealth limited to 4 states only (MN, WI, IA, FL) — unavailable to most of the US; primarily a regional clinic network
- Pricing ambiguous: $69/mo program fee plus separate medication cost ($99/mo sema) may bring GLP-1 total to ~$168/mo
- Compounded tirzepatide availability uncertain — FDA announced shortage end in 2026; access subject to eligibility
- Labs (bloodwork) not explicitly included in any published program tier; confirmed at consultation only
- Strong MN/WI clinic focus; telehealth reach into IA and FL is newer and less established than core markets
The bottom line — C
Best for: Comprehensive physician-supervised GLP-1; compounded sema $99/mo; 8 clinics + telehealth, MN/WI/IA/FL only.
Livea ranks #418 of 542 providers scored — see #1, CoreAge Rx here.
