The short answer
Form Health puts obesity-medicine physicians and registered dietitians around branded medication at $299/mo self-pay for the visits. SkinnyRx is an async cash-pay compounded plan from about $199/mo that you can cancel at any time, and it carries FDA warning letter 717989. These sit at opposite ends of how much care surrounds the prescription.
