Mochi Health stands out for billing provider visits to insurance and listing both brand-name and compounded GLP-1 prices, but much of its low-cost menu is compounded drugs that FDA does not approve, and Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk are both suing it in federal court over compounded copies of their drugs. It is a legitimate telehealth company, founded in 2022 in San Francisco, whose affiliated medical practices prescribe weight loss medication after a video visit. It is BBB accredited with an A rating yet has drawn 1,418 BBB complaints in three years, mostly about support and refills, so budget for both the membership and the medication and confirm what your insurance covers before you start.

Mochi, step by step
Take the intake quiz
A 5-minute online quiz and intake forms cover your weight history, conditions and current medicines. You can enter insurance details to check coverage.
Choose a plan
Pick a 1, 3, 6 or 12 month membership, or the 6 or 12 month insured plan if your coverage qualifies. Memberships renew automatically.
Video visit
Mochi says most first visits happen within a week. A provider licensed in your state reviews your history and decides whether a prescription is appropriate.
Medication from a pharmacy
If prescribed, you choose a brand-name drug, which may go through insurance, or a compounded drug paid in cash through a partner pharmacy. The price depends on your dose.
Follow-ups and dietitian visits
Ongoing provider visits adjust your dose. Registered dietitian visits are included on the insured plan, according to the FAQ.
Cancel
Cancel in your account or by calling (619) 648-1247; email is not accepted. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term.
Mochi Health legitimacy and licensing
Yes. Mochi Health Corp. is a San Francisco company that the BBB says started in February 2022. Its terms explain that it provides management and technology services to affiliated medical practices, including Mochi Medical, P.A. in Florida and Mochi Medical CA, P.C. in California, which employ the prescribing clinicians. It says it has more than 500,000 members. It became BBB accredited on August 24, 2026 and holds an A rating, and we found no FDA warning letter to it about GLP-1 marketing as of October 12, 2026.
There are real concerns to weigh. Its lower-cost options are compounded GLP-1s, which FDA says are not reviewed for safety, effectiveness or quality. Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk have both sued Mochi in federal court over compounded copies of their drugs, and both cases are still open. The BBB also lists 1,418 complaints in three years.
Mochi Health cost: membership plus medication
You pay two separate charges. Without insurance, membership costs $79 for one month, $207 for three, $354 for six or $588 for twelve, which works out to $49 a month. If your insurance covers the visits, the membership is $119 for six months or $199 for twelve, and Mochi shows your copay before you commit. In October 2026 it also advertised the first month free on the one-month plan.
Medication is extra and priced by dose. Compounded semaglutide starts at $60 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $90, and the price goes up as your dose increases. Brand-name options start at $149 for the Wegovy pill and Foundayo, $199 for Wegovy and $299 for Zepbound, before any insurance. Shipping is included in the medication price, but labs are not. Older reviews that describe one flat medication price for every dose are out of date.
Compounded vs brand-name GLP-1s at Mochi
Brand-name drugs such as Wegovy, Zepbound and the Foundayo pill are FDA approved and may be covered by insurance. Compounded versions are made by pharmacies, are not FDA approved and are cash only. Mochi lists compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections, a compounded oral semaglutide, and compounded orforglipron, the active ingredient in the FDA-approved Foundayo pill. Mochi’s own site states that compounded medications are not approved or evaluated by FDA.
The shortages that allowed wide compounding of semaglutide and tirzepatide ended in 2025. FDA has since reported adverse events and dosing errors linked to compounded GLP-1s. If a compounded drug is offered, ask the provider why it is right for you, which pharmacy makes it and how the dose is measured, and tell your regular doctor. This is not medical advice; a licensed clinician should decide whether any GLP-1 is appropriate for you.

Mochi Health lawsuits
Eli Lilly sued Mochi Health Corp., its affiliated medical practices and Aequita Pharmacy in the Northern District of California in April 2025. Lilly claims, among other things, that Mochi changed compounded tirzepatide doses for business rather than medical reasons. The judge dismissed the first complaint in late 2025 for failing to show harm, then allowed an amended complaint to go forward in part in April 2026 and ruled on another partial motion to dismiss in September 2026. The defendants filed their answer on September 22, 2026, and the case is ongoing.
Novo Nordisk filed a separate trademark case against Mochi in August 2025 in the same court, which is also pending. These are allegations, not findings. We found no FDA warning letter, FTC action or state attorney general action against Mochi as of October 2026.
Complaints and what members report
Mochi’s Trustpilot score is 4.5 out of 5 from about 19,300 reviews, but the company invites members to review, which tends to raise scores, and about 9% of reviews are one star. Positive reviews mention fast onboarding and attentive providers. One-star reviews describe slow replies, refill dates that slip, medication delays and difficulty resolving problems.
The BBB complaint count is high: 1,418 in three years. To avoid common problems, request refills early, keep track of your renewal date, cancel only through your account or by phone, and save confirmation of any cancellation.
Cancellation, refunds and your rights
Memberships and medication subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel in your account or by calling (619) 648-1247; the terms say email requests are not valid. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current term, so a prepaid 6 or 12 month plan is not refunded for unused months. Membership refunds are case by case at Mochi’s discretion, and prescription medication cannot be returned or refunded once it is sent to a pharmacy.
The terms require binding individual arbitration and waive class actions unless you opt out within 30 days of accepting them, by email to [email protected] or by mail. If a price increase applies, the terms promise at least 30 days’ notice. Problems with a pharmacy or provider can also be reported to your state pharmacy or medical board.
Who should look elsewhere
If you want FDA-approved medication only, a brand-only program or your own doctor may be a better fit. If you have Medicare, Medicaid or employer coverage for GLP-1s, start with your plan and your doctor, since a telehealth membership adds cost. If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, have other health conditions, or take other medicines, talk to your own doctor before starting any weight loss medication.

Frequently asked questions
Can you trust Mochi Health?
Yes. Mochi Health Corp. is a San Francisco telehealth company, founded in 2022, whose affiliated medical practices employ licensed prescribers. It is BBB accredited with an A rating. It also sells compounded GLP-1s that FDA does not approve and is being sued by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk, so weigh those facts.
How much does Mochi Health cost per month?
Membership without insurance is $79 for one month or $49 a month on the 12-month plan ($588). With covered insurance it is $199 a year. Medication is extra: compounded semaglutide from $60 and tirzepatide from $90 a month, and brand-name drugs from $149, with prices rising by dose.
Does Mochi Health take insurance?
Mochi bills provider visits to insurance for members whose plans it accepts and shows the copay before you commit. Whether your plan covers brand-name GLP-1 medication depends on your insurer and employer, and Mochi helps with prior authorizations. Compounded drugs are cash only.
Is Mochi Health's medication FDA approved?
Some of it. Brand-name drugs such as Wegovy, Zepbound and Foundayo are FDA approved. Mochi's compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide and orforglipron are not FDA approved, and Mochi's own site says compounded medications are not evaluated by FDA for safety, effectiveness or quality.
Is Mochi Health medication priced the same at every dose?
No. Mochi now prices by dose, so compounded semaglutide starts at $60 a month and compounded tirzepatide at $90 a month, and the price rises as your dose goes up. Older reviews that list one flat price are out of date.
Is Eli Lilly suing Mochi Health?
Yes. Eli Lilly sued Mochi Health Corp., its affiliated practices and Aequita Pharmacy in April 2025 in federal court in San Francisco over compounded tirzepatide. Parts of Lilly's amended claims were allowed to proceed in 2026, and the case is ongoing. Novo Nordisk filed a separate case in August 2025.
How do I cancel Mochi Health?
Cancel in your Mochi account by selecting cancel subscription, or call (619) 648-1247. Email requests are not accepted. Your membership stays active until the end of the term you paid for and then stops renewing.
Does Mochi Health give refunds?
Rarely. Mochi does not refund partially used subscription periods except at its discretion, and it does not refund a month in which you saw a provider. Prescription medication cannot be returned or refunded once sent to a pharmacy.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds for Mochi Health?
Yes, Mochi's FAQ says you can pay the membership with an HSA or FSA account. Check with your plan administrator about medication costs.
Who is eligible for Mochi Health?
Mochi says anyone can join, but prescriptions follow clinical guidelines for people with obesity or who are overweight with weight-related conditions. It serves patients across the United States and has a separate pediatrics program for those under 18. A provider decides whether medication is appropriate.
