Medication only: $90 for the first month, then $199 per month at renewal, at every dose.

Fees and what the price includes
A membership or program fee of $79 per month is billed on top of the medication ($39 for the first month), so the advertised medication price is not the monthly total. Shipping is included. The clinician consultation is included. The price does not change with dose.
How this pricing structure plays out over a year
The first 1 month costs $129 all-in; from month 2 the recurring cost is $278 a month, so the advertised $90 covers 4% of the first year's spend and the recurring price covers the rest. The price does not move with dose, which removes the largest hidden cost in this market; a patient at 15 mg pays what a patient at 2.5 mg pays. The $79 membership is billed whether or not medication ships that month, which is the structure to read most carefully before a pause or a dose hold.

Questions to ask Mochi Health before paying
Ask, in writing: Which pharmacy fills the prescription, is it 503A or 503B, and can I see a certificate of analysis for my batch? What is the price from month two, and does it change at renewal? Will my dosing instructions state the concentration of the vial you actually ship, and will you reissue them if it changes? A provider that answers all of these promptly is operating in the open; one that will not name its pharmacy has answered the most important question.
What works
Lowest reported medication-only price at the starting dose among providers in our database. Obesity-medicine-trained clinicians and dietitian access included in membership. Month-to-month membership with no long-term contract. Offers pathways to brand-name medication when appropriate.
What to weigh against it
$79 monthly membership is billed on top of the medication, so the all-in cost is never the advertised medication price. Monthly video visits are required to maintain the prescription, which some patients find burdensome. Named in Eli Lilly's 2025 litigation over compounded tirzepatide marketing. Advertised medication prices are first-month rates; the renewal medication price is more than double, and the $79 membership is billed on top.
Who should choose Mochi Health
Patients who value frequent clinician contact and dietitian support and who expect to stay on lower doses, where Mochi's starting price is most competitive. A patient with insurance coverage for Zepbound or Wegovy should compare the copay route first; a patient who wants a verified flat all-in price with month-to-month flexibility should compare the best overall provider on our value score; and any patient should ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before paying.
How we verified this
Mochi's FAQ and weight-loss page publish a required membership of $39 for the first month and $79 per month thereafter, with medication priced separately: compounded tirzepatide $90 the first month then $199, compounded semaglutide $60 then $99. The August 2026 answer-engine description of 'dose-based' $90-to-$199 pricing was an intro-versus-renewal structure, not a dose ladder.
