What to watch for with Hers and TMates
Hers
- Pending federal enforcement against the parent company: on July 29, 2026 the FTC, joined by Utah and by California acting through Los Angeles County Counsel, sued Hims & Hers Health, Inc. in the Northern District of California over subscription billing, cancellation friction and sharing consumer health information with advertising platforms. The case status is Pending and these are allegations, not findings (checked 2026-09-03).
- Every medication figure excludes the required Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/mo); exact product and dose prices can raise the total above $188 and $298
Hers' strengths, cautions and terms
Strengths
- Brand-name paths include Wegovy pill, Foundayo, and Ozempic pill medication from $149 and a Wegovy pen from $199. Wegovy and Foundayo carry FDA approval for weight management, Ozempic is approved for type 2 diabetes and is used off label here. With the required membership, a $149 medication path totals $188 initially and $298/mo ongoing
- Hers lists brand-name Zepbound access, with medication billed separately from the required Weight Loss Membership
- Part of publicly traded Hims & Hers Health, Inc. (NYSE: HIMS)
- Broader women's health platform, integrates weight loss with hormonal, skin, and wellness services
More to watch for
- Care is delivered online through messaging and the app; confirm how to reach the care team for prescription or refill questions
- Older compounded-plan prices do not establish the current product, dose or full bill; confirm the actual prescription and checkout
- Zepbound medication starts at $299 before the required membership; that path totals $338 in month one and at least $448/mo ongoing, with exact dose pricing potentially higher
- Medicines listed
- Wegovy (brand-name injection pen)
- Wegovy (brand-name oral pill)
- Ozempic (brand-name injection pen, FDA approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed off label for weight loss)
- Ozempic (brand-name oral pill, FDA approved for type 2 diabetes and prescribed off label for weight loss)
- Foundayo (brand-name oral pill)
- Zepbound (brand-name)
- Insurance
- No insurance support listed
- Consultation
- Included in required Weight Loss Membership ($39 first month, then $149/mo)
- Shipping
- Free
- States
- Not confirmed. Hers says its GLP-1 offering does not cover every state, but its medication FAQ does not name the excluded states. Confirm your state and prescribed treatment before enrolling (checked 2026-09-26)
TMates
- The $99/mo Wegovy or Zepbound tier buys the prescription and provider oversight only. TMates says it does not dispense or ship the drug, and no price for the medication itself appears on its product or category pages, so your own pharmacy bills you separately (checked 2026-09-03).
- The best compounded rates require prepayment: $1,050 upfront for 6 months, $1,900 for 12. Start at $249 month-to-month if you want to test fit first.
TMates' strengths, cautions and terms
Strengths
- Clinical-service-only path to brand Wegovy and Zepbound at $99/mo, prescription goes to patient's pharmacy (you fill separately using insurance or cash)
- Steep multi-month commitment discounts on compounded sema, $158/mo on 12-month plan ($1,900 upfront) vs $249/mo month-to-month
- Same price at all dose levels for compounded, no cost escalation as you titrate up
- Phentermine available at $149/mo for patients who benefit from a different appetite-suppressant approach
More to watch for
- TMates prescribes brand-name but does not dispense it, and is not affiliated with Novo Nordisk (Wegovy) or Eli Lilly (Zepbound). Your own pharmacy fills the Rx.
- Medicines listed
- Semaglutide (compounded, injectable or oral)
- Tirzepatide (compounded injectable; the product page also shows an Oral format, but every dosing instruction on it describes a weekly injection)
- Phentermine (oral)
- Wegovy (brand-name clinical service only, prescription, not dispensing)
- Zepbound (brand-name clinical service only, prescription, not dispensing)
- Insurance
- Lists insurance support. Confirm coverage for your plan.
- Consultation
- Included
- Shipping
- Free (for compounded; brand-name filled at patient's pharmacy)
- States
- Most states. TMates advertises all 50 states on its homepage and 50+ states on its about page, while its semaglutide page says it ships to most states based on medical eligibility (checked 2026-09-03)
- Cancellation
- Product pages say cancel anytime. The terms give a full refund only before the medical review, or after it if you do not qualify. Once a prescription is written and sent to a pharmacy there is no refund, and a denied refund request leaves any payment plan in force (checked 2026-09-03)
