3.8/10

Hume Care is a prescribing-access program operated by Hume Health Care LLC, distinct from Hume’s device-only products. Its GLP-1Rx page advertises $199 monthly with medication if prescribed and care.

Pros & Cons Compared

Embody

Pros

  • +Publishes a complete price ladder for both molecules, so what each advertised rate costs up front is checkable: semaglutide $79/$76/$73/$69 and tirzepatide $129/$126/$123/$119 across one, three, six and twelve months.
  • +One-month injection prices of $79 for semaglutide and $129 for GLP-1 + GIP were visible in Embody's catalogue on September 20, 2026. The FAQ says the selected rate holds within the chosen plan.
  • +Four plan lengths are disclosed (4, 12, 24 and 52 weeks), giving shoppers a shorter-term option as well as longer-plan pricing.
  • +Publishes its cancellation and refund terms in full, dated August 25, 2026, so the 72-hour cancellation cutoff and limited medical-disqualification refund exception are readable before you pay.
  • +Replies to every negative Trustpilot review, usually within 24 hours.

Cons

  • Payments are normally non-refundable. If Embody's provider determines medical disqualification, its refund policy allows a refund for unused services after deducting services already provided. Cancellation otherwise stops future renewal. The twelve-month semaglutide plan commits $828 up front; cancellation requests must reach support at least 72 hours before the next billing date.
  • The public catalogue shows $69/$119 as twelve-month equivalents paid up front at $828/$1,428, but Embody's separate promotional landing advertises $69/$119 flat monthly and describes a no-contract month-to-month option. We could not verify the final promotional checkout charge or term; compare it with the $79/$129 one-month catalogue plans before paying.
  • Trustpilot showed 3.8 / 5 across 8,121 reviews on 2026-09-20, while the landing page advertised 4.8 on our prior check. The Trustpilot profile includes merged reviews from another profile, and individual reports cover different pricing periods. It is not a measure of clinical quality.
  • Embody names four partner pharmacies: Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy in Utah, Health Warehouse in Kentucky, Precision Medicine in New York and Triad Rx in Alabama, and says all four are 503A compounding pharmacies. It does not say which one will fill your prescription. Triad Rx received a 2019 FDA warning letter for sterile-production violations, and the FDA close-out in May 2023 records that the firm no longer produces sterile drug products.
  • Compounded medications only, no brand-name Wegovy, Zepbound, Mounjaro, or Ozempic available.
  • Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc. also runs SnagRx (snagrx.com) and RodeoMeds (rodeomeds.com). Each footer names the shared parent, but none of the three names the others, and SnagRx sells the same compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide at the same $69 and $119 prices Embody's own landing page shows.
