TMates review
An independent look at TMates: what it charges, which medications it prescribes, how it verifies, and who it suits.
No FDA warning letter on file for TMates in the warning letter register this site maintains from the FDA’s published list.
What you are buying
GLP-1 weight loss program that accepts major insurance plans. TMates prescribes Compounded semaglutide, Compounded tirzepatide as injection. Everything it dispenses is compounded: mixed by a pharmacy to a prescription rather than made by the manufacturer, and never through FDA approval as a product. It ships to 45 states.
TMates bills insurance, so what you pay depends on your plan as well as on the price below. The medication is included in the monthly price. It does not publish which pharmacy fills its prescriptions.
What the medication actually costs
Context before the programme price: what a pharmacy pays to acquire the branded equivalent. TMates sets its own price on top of a compounded or branded supply.
Source: CMS NADAC. This is what pharmacies pay, not a retail price and not what you would be charged.
Plans and what they cost
Every price is the lowest we can verify for that medication, normalised to one month so a prepay plan compares honestly against a monthly one.

The catch: Relatively newer platform with limited independent reviews.
What three months really costs
A discounted first month makes a programme look cheaper than it is. This is that month plus two at the standing rate.
Medication only, at the lowest verified rate. Any membership or consultation fee is listed separately above and is not in this total.
