What to watch for with bmiMD and Collective

bmiMD

  • The shopping offer's $99/mo semaglutide rate is a 12-month plan billed $1,188 up front, and once your first order goes to the pharmacy, that payment is non-refundable if you cancel voluntarily; you can take the remaining shipments or convert their value to bmiMD credit. The shopping pages list one month at $129 for semaglutide or $179 for tirzepatide; confirm renewal terms
  • Brand-name Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro are sold but kept out of the site navigation, and their prices surface only inside the weight loss quiz at $233/mo, $249/mo and $249/mo. Ask for them by name if a brand-name drug is what you want
bmiMD's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Clinician visits and shipping are included in the standard injection plans; consultations are usually available the same day, according to bmiMD
  • An established public Trustpilot profile: 4.4/5 from 871 reviews, checked September 12, 2026

  • HSA/FSA accepted for all programs

More to watch for

Collective

  • The $59 and $69 medication headlines exclude a required $199 annual membership after a 21-day trial
  • The terms permit a nominal technology transaction fee for each electronic prescription but publish no amount

  • The annual membership auto-renews and is generally non-refundable, with no partial-period refunds
  • Its long-term GLP-1 service record is not yet confirmed; customer reviews alone do not establish treatment quality
  • Cash-pay compounded medications only; no brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound and no insurance or prior-authorization service

  • Tirzepatide (compounded injection)

Collective doesn't serve Alabama, California, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Mississippi or Washington, and you should ask about Washington, D.C. We built this list from the FAQ's six-state exclusion list, checked October 17, 2026; a clinician decides your eligibility at intake.
Cancellation
Cancel online before the 21-day trial ends to avoid the $199 annual charge. A paid membership continues through its current annual period and is generally non-refundable with no partial-period refund. Products and services are otherwise non-refundable except at CollectiveOS's discretion. If no prescription is issued, the medication order is cancelled and the medication is not charged.
