- Shipping
- Delivery is advertised as included; confirm for the selected prescription
- Prescribers
- MDI Medical Group PC, the independent clinical network named in Hume's directory. Published practitioner names and license numbers cover Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont; current registry standing was not independently verified.
- States
- Excludes Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi under Hume Care's published coverage policy (checked October 8, 2026). Confirm your state's service and treatment eligibility before enrolling.
- Cancellation
- Cancel before your renewal date in the Subscription section of your account or by emailing support@humecare.com. If you cancel a prepaid plan early, you keep access until the paid term ends but get no pro-rated refund. Two refund exceptions apply: if a physician in Hume's clinical network finds you ineligible for any treatment after your initial evaluation, Hume refunds that membership period within 10 business days, and an included device does not reduce the refund; if Hume ends a prepaid membership without cause, it refunds the unused portion.
Luvo Health
- The 50% starter discount lasts four weeks; the next delivery costs the full listed rate
- Four-week billing means 13 billing cycles in 52 weeks, not 12 calendar-month payments. Longer prepaid plans have separate terms
Luvo Health's strengths, cautions and terms
Strengths
- Publishes separate first-cycle and renewal prices for three compounded GLP-1 plans, with clinician review, support and shipping included
- Three compounded formats including oral semaglutide tablets, plus a dedicated microdosing line with its own products
- Published cancellation and refund terms explain the notice period and limits on prepaid-plan refunds
- Names its four compounding pharmacies in the terms, with street addresses and phone numbers, and displays a LegitScript approval seal in the site footer
- Its terms describe prescription-transfer rights; ask which licensed pharmacy can fill the exact prescription and how a transfer affects the plan
More to watch for
- The compounded-plan prices do not establish the cost of brand-name Ozempic or Zepbound; obtain a separate quote for those options
- Luvo names Matthew Walvick as Medical Director, but the clinician assigned to review your file is not identified on the public pages we checked. Ask for their name and current state license before treatment
- The terms name four compounding pharmacies and describe default assignment and transfer rights. Confirm the assigned pharmacy before payment; a transfer right does not guarantee that every pharmacy can dispense the prescribed formulation
- Luvo Health, Inc. is named in the terms, but no street address or phone number is shown on the site's contact, about, terms or FAQ pages (rendered check 2026-09-03), and support is email only
- Cancellation deadlines differ: the refund policy says 72 hours before billing; the terms say 72 hours before renewal or renewal-processing, which may happen up to 2 days early. Refund eligibility ends when the prescription is issued and transmitted to the pharmacy; the policy only generally ties that point to intake submission without a required video visit
- Medicines listed
- Compounded semaglutide (injectable)
- Compounded tirzepatide (injectable)
- Compounded semaglutide (oral tablets)

- Shipping

- States
- All 50 states plus Washington D.C.; the terms note some services may be narrower
- Cancellation
- The refund policy requires 72 hours' notice before billing; the terms require 72 hours before renewal or renewal-processing and allow processing up to 2 days early. Confirm the actual cutoff and keep written cancellation confirmation. A current-cycle refund is only available before medication is ordered, defined as prescription issuance and transmission to the pharmacy. The policy generally places that point at intake submission for new patients without a required video visit, or completion of a required visit; for returning patients it is typically refill-intake submission. Medical disqualification before medication is ordered permits a full refund. Clinical services already rendered are non-refundable; prior cycles are not refunded.
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.
