Watch-outs

- Not included in the monthly price: medication
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Mochi Health
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes clinician visits and coaching

Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: medication
- Serves only 15 states, so check that yours is one of them
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
