The Good
- Transparent pharmacy partners (Belmar, Strive)
- Competitive flat-rate pricing starting at $199/mo
- Nationwide access to all 50 states
- No insurance required; FSA/HSA accepted
The Bad
- Support handled by centralized white-label network (CareGLP)
- Lack of direct brand history or Trustpilot reviews
- Portal experience can be friction-heavy
Why We Chose Care Bare Rx
Care Bare Rx stands out in the crowded telehealth market primarily for its supply chain transparency. While many providers hide the source of their compounded medications, Care Bare Rx openly lists Belmar Pharmacy and Strive Pharmacy as its fulfillment partners. These are two of the largest and most established compounding facilities in the United States, known for adhering to USP <795> and <797> standards. This transparency, combined with a $199/month entry point that undercuts many competitors charging $300+, makes it a compelling option for budget-conscious patients seeking verified medication sources.
The Patient Experience
The patient journey is streamlined but highly automated. Users should expect a "low-touch" experience typical of the CareGLP platform:
- Intake: A quick asynchronous online quiz and ID upload.
- Consult: Review by a licensed provider (often within 24 hours) without a mandatory video call in many states.
- Fulfillment: A 5-7 day wait for shipping.
While efficient, this model often lacks the robust, hand-holding support of premium concierge clinics. Reviews suggest that while the medication quality is high (due to the reputable pharmacies), the administrative side (portal navigation, billing cancellations) can be friction-heavy. It is best suited for patients who are self-sufficient and prioritize cost and medication quality over white-glove customer service.
Verified Customer Reviews
"Has anyone here used CareGLP (or carevalidate)? Week 2 realization I did not do enough research gave myself anxiety lol... I got cyanocobalamin/semiglutide, .25 for 4 weeks for $79... I now don't see really anyone talking about careglp when I am trying to find reviews, but the pharmacy Belmar pharmacy seems to be used by a few different places."
"I went through CareGLP... Food noise is deeply reduced which has been a benefit of this. However, tonight after my second dose, a few hours after I ended up incredibly nauseous... I decided to check my blood sugar and it was 104."
"These guys are a huge scam simply do a quick google search, the medication they send is fake, they also continously keep charging your credit card once they have your info, beware!"
