What to watch for with bmiMD and Maximus

bmiMD

  • The $119/mo semaglutide headline is a 12-month plan billed $1,428 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. Paying one month at a time costs $159 for semaglutide and $249 for tirzepatide
  • 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

  • No charge if the clinician finds you ineligible: bmiMD says it releases the card authorization hold
  • HSA/FSA accepted for all programs

More to watch for

  • A $100 non-refundable intake processing fee applies if you cancel after submitting your intake form, which is earlier than approval; decide before you order. To stop a renewal, cancel at least 7 days before the renewal date under the refund policy checked October 15, 2026

Maximus

  • The current tirzepatide product page and help center have different price schedules. Confirm the selected upfront bill and renewal; required labs cost extra
  • The fulfilling pharmacies are named only as initials in the help center, EVR, FCC or VIOS by state for compounded medication and The Pharmacy Hub for brand-name, and not on the product pages a shopper actually reads
Maximus' strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Compounded tirzepatide has two-, four-, six- and twelve-month prepaid choices, with shipping and clinical oversight included
  • Compounded plans are flat rate across every dose, so titrating up does not reprice your plan
  • Maximus adds glycine and B12 to its compounded semaglutide, described on the site as a way to further customize and tailor the medication; it cites no clinical evidence for the combination
  • Free expedited shipping on all medication orders

More to watch for

  • Brand-name plans are priced by dose tier, so titrating up can move you to a higher monthly rate; compounded plans stay flat across all doses
  • FDA warning letter #730095, issued June 8, 2026, cites false or misleading compounded-GLP-1 marketing claims. It is a marketing/misbranding record, not an unsafe-medication finding
Medicines listed
  • Semaglutide (compounded; ask whether a 0.1mg microdose plan is current)
  • Tirzepatide (compounded)
  • Semaglutide + glycine + B12 (Maximus describes the additive as a way to further customize and tailor the medication; no nausea benefit is claimed on the site and no Maximus-specific trial evidence was found)
  • Foundayo (brand-name orforglipron tablets, from $199.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Wegovy (brand-name tablets from $249.99/mo and pens from $349.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Ozempic (brand-name injection, from $349.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Zepbound (brand-name injection, from $449.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)
  • Mounjaro (brand-name injection, from $1,249.99/mo, verified 2026-08-28)

States
All states except Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, per the site's GLP-1 availability page; tirzepatide microdose may carry additional state limits (verified 2026-09-03)
Cancellation
The published terms make prescription sales final. Their no-early-termination language for committed plans is explicitly under the Testosterone Protocol section; the October 8, 2026 review did not confirm it applies to GLP-1 plans. Confirm cancellation, renewal and unused-prepayment terms for the exact weight-loss plan before paying.

Compounded medicines are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are sold. Read the FDA's explanation of the risks.
