Open Water Rx provides online care for eligible Ohio residents. Complete the intake, an Ohio-licensed provider reviews it, and if a prescription is issued, compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide ships to your Ohio address with shipping included in the price. No clinic visit in most cases. Provider review required, and not everyone qualifies.

Match the provider's name and credential to the right board, because Ohio license types live in different places. Physicians (MD or DO) are verified through the State Medical Board of Ohio; advanced-practice nurses such as nurse practitioners are verified through the Ohio Board of Nursing at nursing.ohio.gov. The state's shared public license system at elicense.ohio.gov links to these lookups. Enter the provider's full name exactly as given, confirm the license status is active, and review any board actions shown. If you cannot match the name to a credential, ask the service to clarify the license type before you enroll.

Check the pharmacy's business license, not an individual pharmacist's personal license. Ask which compounding pharmacy will fill your order, then confirm the pharmacy itself holds an active Ohio license, or a valid non-resident permit to ship into Ohio, through the Ohio Board of Pharmacy at pharmacy.ohio.gov. Open Water Rx does not manufacture, compound, or dispense medications; an independent licensed pharmacy does.

Share your current medications and doses, relevant diagnoses, recent labs, allergies, and weight history through the secure intake, not in any public channel. That information is reviewed privately by the independent licensed provider evaluating your case. It also helps to tell your own Ohio doctor that you have started a GLP-1 program so your records stay complete; this program is designed to sit alongside, not replace, your primary-care relationship.

Read the written terms first: the total monthly price, exactly what it includes, how refills are handled, what ongoing support you receive, and how to pause or cancel. Confirm the billed amount matches what the plan describes. Open Water Rx keeps pricing flat and month-to-month with no membership fee. Keep a copy of the plan details for your records.

Whether any additional step, such as a video visit, is needed is decided case by case by the reviewing provider. If they need to see you on video, or need more information before reaching a decision, they will tell you. There is no blanket requirement you should assume in advance, and Open Water Rx does not set clinical requirements for the independent providers.

No. A prescription is never guaranteed. All prescribing decisions are made by independent licensed providers based solely on your individual health profile. Not all patients qualify.

Both brands are operated by Open Water Rx LLC. Surfbound Health is our current brand for online enrollment; this site provides program, pricing and support information.

Complete the secure online intake, an independent Ohio-licensed provider reviews your case and if treatment is clinically appropriate your compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide ships discreetly to your Ohio address. No clinic visit is required in most cases, and some cases may require a synchronous video visit as determined by your provider. Already on medication? Note your current dose at signup so we can match it when clinically appropriate.

Compounded injectable semaglutide is $169/month and compounded tirzepatide is $219/month. The price is flat month to month wherever you live in Ohio, with no membership fee and no separate provider fee — provider review, the medication if prescribed, and shipping if prescribed are all included.

No. Open Water Rx is self-pay and does not require or accept insurance, so there is no prior authorization standing between you and a provider review. HSA and FSA funds may apply — check with your plan administrator. Coverage across Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati and the rest of Ohio works the same way: eligible patients are served statewide where permitted by state law.
