Three membership routes are sold out of Pinecrest, Florida: GLP-1 weight loss at $149/month and up, testosterone therapy from $99/month, peptide therapy from $129/month. The operating entity is disclosed, along with a medical director by name and several clinicians. LegitScript certifies it. No insurance covers any of this, and which GLP-1 drugs are available becomes clear only after intake.
Is Medical Health Institute legit?
Yes. Medical Health Institute is a real, operating US company, and we found no FDA warning letters issued to it. Its site shows LegitScript certification. We rate it 5.4/10 overall, across six areas from price to trust and safety. Legitimate is not the same as right for you, though: that part is a decision for you and a licensed clinician.
Is there a Medical Health Institute promo or coupon code?
We know of no promo or coupon code for Medical Health Institute. Its listed price is $100 a month. Coupon sites advertising "Medical Health Institute discount codes" are not a source we can vouch for, and any genuine offer shows at checkout without a code.

How Medical Health Institute scores
Six columns, each one computed from something Medical Health Institute has published rather than from an opinion we formed: what it charges, which molecules it will dispense, what its record shows, and what the monthly figure actually buys. Where a seller keeps something back, such as its price or its pharmacy, the score reflects it. Every seller we review goes through the same six columns.
Value25%
3.0/10The listed figure is not a comparable monthly price for a named GLP-1 (it may be a membership fee, an insured copay, a per-vial rate or a starting-dose price), so Value is capped rather than scored against other sellers.
Effectiveness25%
8.5/10Dispenses semaglutide, compounded only. Anchored to SURMOUNT-1 (tirzepatide, -20.9%) and STEP 1 (semaglutide, -14.9%).
User Experience15%
7.5/10A price is shown before the questionnaire starts. A live video visit is required, which is slower but the more careful intake.
Trust & Safety15%
2.5/10No pharmacy is named for its prescriptions. It shows a price before asking for health information.
Accessibility10%
5.0/10No state list is available to check, so this is held at the midpoint rather than scored on reach.
Support10%
5.0/10States too little about what the monthly cost covers to score the bundle. Held at the midpoint rather than assumed.
A seller that shows no price until after the medical intake loses points on User Experience and Trust & Safety, and its review says so. How we score →

What signing up with Medical Health Institute involves
What to expect on the way to a prescription: where the price appears, who fills the medication, and what the monthly price covers. It is not medical advice, and a clinician makes the prescribing decision.
- 1Medical Health Institute shows a price on its own site before asking anything about you, so you can compare it with other sellers before you start a questionnaire.
- 2The intake requires a live video visit with a clinician before a first prescription, which takes longer than a written form and is the more careful route.
- 3Ask Medical Health Institute which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay. The pharmacy's name is what lets you check its license.
- 4The monthly price includes clinician visits.
- Before you commit, get the ongoing monthly price of the medication itself, not a first-month rate, a membership fee or a per-vial price.
- Confirm that Medical Health Institute serves your state before you start.
GLP-1 medications Medical Health Institute offers
Each one has its own guide: how the molecule works, the dosing schedule, the side effects that show up in practice, and what the trials actually measured.
Pricing
Prices re-verified
Check the price yourself before you pay
Every figure here was read off Medical Health Institute's own checkout on the date shown. Sellers move prices without announcing it, and promotional rates lapse, so confirm the standing cost on their site before committing.
In its favor
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes clinician visits
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Medical Health Institute
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
Against it
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
What Medical Health Institute charges
The standing price at Medical Health Institute is $100/month.
- Compounded semaglutide: $100/month
bmiMD dispenses semaglutide from $99/month, which makes it the fair comparison to run before you commit here.
What Medical Health Institute dispenses
Medical Health Institute prescribes semaglutide (approved as Wegovy and Ozempic). That is among the best-evidenced options in this class. These are compounded preparations from a licensed pharmacy rather than approved pens, which is where the lower price comes from. A compounded drug is not FDA-approved as a finished product: the specific preparation has not been reviewed for safety, efficacy or manufacturing quality.
Safety and disclosure
Medical Health Institute tells you its price before you start the medical questionnaire. We found no FDA warning letters issued to Medical Health Institute. Because the medication is compounded, the most useful question to ask at intake is which licensed pharmacy fills the prescription. If Medical Health Institute will not tell you, treat that as a warning sign. How we weigh oversight, disclosure and price is set out in our scoring methodology.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want the FDA-approved pen specifically. Everything listed here is compounded.
- You need insurance to pay for it. Medical Health Institute is cash-pay and does not bill insurance.
Our read
Medical Health Institute charges $100/month. Too few sellers offer the same drug and form to say whether that is cheap or expensive, so judge it on what the package includes. The catch is disclosure, which is why Medical Health Institute scores low on Trust & Safety: settle the pharmacy and pricing questions above before the price decides for you.
The Bottom Line
Medical Health Institute falls below our bar on disclosure. Read the breakdown below before you give it money.
Before you pay Medical Health Institute
Starting at $100 a month. Check today's price, then start the intake.
Where Medical Health Institute is the wrong choice
No seller suits every reader, and pretending otherwise is the easiest way to sell one. On these three counts, another seller does better.
- If you need the FDA-approved pen rather than a compounded vial, consider Sesame Care.
- If the standing monthly cost is what decides it, consider Collective (from $59/mo).
- If you want a human checking in, not just a prescription, consider ShedRx.
