Hello Alpha Review
Brand-name only, including the new orforglipron pill
Alpha Plus+ membership $79/month; medication priced by your plan
Overview
Hello Alpha takes the opposite position to most of this category: it prescribes brand-name medication only, no compounded alternatives. That means no FDA-approval caveats — and it also means insurance coverage or full cash price, with nothing in between. The medication list is the broadest we encountered, spanning Foundayo (orforglipron), Wegovy as both pill and pen, Ozempic, Zepbound in vial and pen, Mounjaro, Saxenda, Trulicity, Victoza and Rybelsus, plus non-GLP-1 options like Contrave, Xenical, metformin and bupropion. Membership is $79/month for Alpha Plus+, visits are appointment-free with 24/7 provider messaging, medications ship free if prescribed, and most are FSA/HSA eligible. The policy to read carefully: Alpha states you are not eligible for a refund if a prior authorization is denied or you are found ineligible.
