What to watch for with bmiMD and MEDVi

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

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
  • 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

MEDVi

  • FDA warning letter #721455, issued February 20, 2026, cites misleading labeling and marketing that implied MEDVi compounded the drugs and that compounded products were equivalent to or FDA-evaluated like approved brands. The letter does not allege unsafe medication
  • Its third-party records conflict: Trustpilot shows 4.3 out of 5 across 15,014 reviews, and MEDVi invited 157 of the 200 newest reviewers, while the BBB grades MEDVi F, lists it as not accredited and counts 763 complaints in three years (we checked on October 15, 2026)
MEDVi's strengths, cautions and terms

Strengths

  • Compounded semaglutide tablets and injections, plus a separately advertised compounded tirzepatide injection
  • The landing page says the program is HSA and FSA eligible and includes dietician visits and care coaching, with a footnote making that subject to insurance and copay eligibility
  • $179 covers the first month of compounded semaglutide on MEDVi's landing page, including physician review, the personalized plan, medication and free shipping

More to watch for

  • You pay $179 only for the first semaglutide charge; each refill costs you $299, and MEDVi's own replies to BBB complaints say your subscription renews every 28 days, so you pay $3,767 for 13 charges in a year rather than $2,327
  • Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths add a $99 membership plus a medication cost the page does not publish, and the same page's hero says "No membership or hidden fees!" directly above those cards; availability is subject to change
  • No insurance accepted, and oral compounded semaglutide has less clinical data than injectable forms
