TelePeptide review
By Gut Metabolic EditorialUpdated
Price transparency
What is disclosed before intake, not a clinical rating.
TelePeptide, also branded TelePep, offers compounded GLP-1 programs with clinician review, medication and shipping in one price. Standard monthly injections are listed at $199 for semaglutide and $249 for tirzepatide; lower annual equivalents require upfront payment. Its detailed refund policy explains prepaid cancellations, but conflicting descriptions of when the first charge occurs deserve clarification before enrollment.
TelePeptide does not pay us. We review it so you can compare it with the programs that do. Disclosure

The verdict
TelePeptide shows its price before the medical intake, but leaves gaps, such as what the advertised price includes or which pharmacy fills the prescription. It ranks 80 of 293 on price transparency.
The score beside TelePeptide's name rates how much it tells you before the medical intake — the price, the pharmacy and the terms — not how cheap it is.

How does TelePeptide work?
Pick the exact formulation and term
The pricing chart distinguishes standard injections from tablets, combination formulations and microdose programs. Monthly injections are $199 for semaglutide and $249 for tirzepatide. The smallest general GLP-1 headline belongs to a microdose annual prepay, so it is not an equivalent standard monthly prescription.
Confirm payment timing and clinical review
The pricing page and detailed policy sections describe collecting the plan charge at intake, then automatically refunding it if no prescription is issued. Other policy wording says payment occurs only after a prescription. Ask for the actual authorization and charge sequence before entering payment information.
Meet the treating clinician
TelePeptide LLC handles the platform and care coordination; an independent medical group provides clinical services. The providers page says clinician details appear in the portal and the medical group’s identity is available on request. Obtain those details and confirm current treatment access where you are located.
Manage shipments and future billing
Subscriptions renew at the monthly anniversary or end of the prepaid term unless canceled before the next billing date. Cancel in portal billing or through support and retain confirmation. For a prepaid refund, act before the next pharmacy fulfillment cycle, since already shipped months and prepared prescriptions have different rules.
How much does TelePeptide cost?
Standard compounded semaglutide injection: $199/month including clinical services, medication and shipping; lower equivalents require prepayment.
Standard compounded tirzepatide injection: $249/month including clinical services, medication and shipping; lower equivalents require prepayment.
Company advertises service in 48 states plus DC, excluding AK and MS; confirm current prescription, provider and pharmacy eligibility
Standard monthly injections are $199 for semaglutide and $249 for tirzepatide, including clinical services, medication and shipping. Three-month totals are $567 and $711; six-month totals are $1,074 and $1,344; annual totals are $2,028 and $2,568. Lower annual equivalents therefore require larger advance payments. Tablets and microdose combinations have separate prices and should be compared as different products.
- The pricing chart says there are no separate setup or first-consult fees and no dose-escalation surcharges within the program. A switch to another program is re-quoted at the new rate going forward. Confirm that the final receipt matches the selected medication, formulation and term.
- The $149 monthly microdose program and its $134 annual equivalent are not standard injection prices. The specific molecule, combination and supply require clinician confirmation. A generic GLP-1 category does not establish that every microdose option contains the same medicine.
- The pricing page describes a full automatic refund if the clinician does not prescribe, including the bundled consultation portion. The refund policy contains inconsistent payment-timing descriptions, so obtain the actual intake payment agreement instead of assuming no money leaves your account before review.
- Monthly cancellation before the next billing date stops the next charge. Prepaid cancellation can refund the value of unshipped months, less a $25 administrative fee, if requested before the next fulfillment cycle. Already shipped months are excluded from ordinary refunds.
- A separate seven-day initial-cancellation window applies only before the pharmacy has prepared or shipped medication. Clinician-initiated discontinuation can refund prepaid amounts tied to shipments not yet prepared without the administrative fee. These are different exceptions with different cutoffs.
- Report delivery damage with photographs within 48 hours, an incorrect product within seven days, and a missing shipment within 14 days of the expected arrival. The policy describes replacements and additional options for pharmacy delays; good-condition medication already delivered is generally not refundable.

The pharmacy behind the medicine
It does not name its pharmacy. TelePeptide does not publicly disclose which compounding pharmacy fills its prescriptions. That is common and it is not an accusation — but it does mean the one thing you would most want to verify about a compounded medicine is the one thing you cannot.
A compounded drug is mixed to order by a pharmacy rather than manufactured and released as a finished product, so the FDA has not reviewed the specific preparation you are prescribed for safety, effectiveness or quality. That is true of every compounded program, including the highest-scoring ones.
What else do people ask about TelePeptide?
What are the standard monthly injection prices?
The pricing page lists semaglutide at $199 and tirzepatide at $249 monthly, including clinician evaluation, prescription, medication and shipping. Tablets and microdose combinations are separate programs. Confirm the selected program on the final receipt rather than using the smallest general GLP-1 headline.
How much must I pay for an annual plan?
The standard injection chart lists $2,028 upfront for semaglutide and $2,568 for tirzepatide. Their monthly equivalents are lower than independent monthly billing, but the term is prepaid. Obtain the dispensing schedule and refund rules before accepting the larger payment.
Where is TelePeptide available?
The current coverage page lists 48 states and Washington, DC, excluding Alaska and Mississippi. It explains that provider licensing and pharmacy dispensing access both matter. Confirm the selected treatment and the location where you will receive care before enrolling, particularly if you travel or move.
Who provides medical services?
TelePeptide LLC, also branded TelePep, operates the platform. Its providers page describes an independent contracted medical group, with its identity available on request and clinician details in the portal. Obtain the treating practice and provider information; the platform itself says it does not practice medicine.
Can a prepaid plan be refunded?
The policy describes a prorated refund for months not yet shipped, less $25, if cancellation precedes the next fulfillment cycle. Prepared or shipped medication has stricter limits. Clinician-initiated discontinuation has a separate refund rule for shipments not yet prepared, without the administrative fee.
Am I charged before clinical approval?
The pricing page and detailed sections describe payment at intake followed by a full automatic refund if no prescription is issued. Other policy wording describes charging after prescription approval. Ask which process applies to your order before payment, and retain the receipt and denial-refund conditions.
