What it is
KERNX Health sells two compounded injections, semaglutide and tirzepatide, for cash through a small telehealth operation. Its About page places it in Washington, DC, while every page footer gives a post office box in Woodbridge, Virginia. It sells supplements, a free four-week virtual Walk Club and a few add-on prescriptions alongside the GLP-1s, and it doesn't bill insurance.
The company doesn't practice medicine. Independent telehealth practices owned by physicians do the prescribing, and the site names five of the clinicians who review patients, two physicians and three nurse practitioners, with short bios. You're matched with one licensed in your state, and some states need a live video visit before a first prescription.
What stays private is the pharmacy. Every page that mentions fulfillment says only that your prescription goes to the licensed dispensing pharmacy shown in your treatment paperwork, so you learn its name after approval, not before.
Semaglutide is $209 a month and tirzepatide $299, charged as a monthly subscription after a provider approves you. KERNX says the plan price covers the medication, shipping, monthly provider check-ins and messaging with the care team. There's no membership fee, no separate consultation charge and no three-month minimum.
The dose tables are the useful part. Six semaglutide doses and seven tirzepatide doses are listed, and every row carries the same figure. One sentence on that page does leave room for a change if your prescribed dose moves, so ask what a dose increase costs before you agree to one.
Microdosing is sold separately from the home page: semaglutide at $179 for one month, tirzepatide at $199, and $507 for a three-month supply of either. The site doesn't say which doses those supplies contain, and it doesn't claim microdosing is a standard FDA dosing scheme.
Labs are the one cost outside the plan. They aren't required for everyone, and when a provider asks for them the price is shown before the test, or you can use your own lab.
Nothing is charged before approval, although your bank may show a temporary authorization hold at signup.
Who it's wrong for
Want to vet the compounding pharmacy first? KERNX identifies it only in your treatment and fulfillment information after a provider signs off.
Skip it if a refund promise matters to you. The terms review refund requests case by case, and medication already in fulfillment generally can't come back.
Phone people should look elsewhere: KERNX posts no number. Support runs through messages, answered within one business day.
If you're hoping to use insurance or get Wegovy or Zepbound, KERNX says outright that it isn't the right choice: it sells compounded drugs for cash only.
Planning around the $179 microdose price? That's a lower-dose supply, not the $209 program, and the site doesn't list its doses.
