Verdict
Pros
- Flat $178/mo at every dose. It is the cheapest program in our chart that holds one price the whole way up.
- Month to month. You cancel online and nobody phones to keep you on.
- Compounded semaglutide for cash payers. You do not need insurance.
- You get a first prescription in three days on average, after a video visit.
- It takes HSA and FSA cards.
Cons
- Cash payers get compounded only. To get branded Wegovy or Zepbound you go through a health plan.
- It lost a partner pharmacy in 2025, when the FDA acted on unsafe compounding.
- Lilly has gone to court over the compounded form of tirzepatide, and Mochi is caught up in it. So the supply is not a sure thing.
- You cannot sign up if you live in Louisiana or Mississippi.
- Members report late shipments when demand spikes.

Which drugs you can get
Primarily 503A-compounded for cash-pay; insurance routes to branded. Active regulatory exposure on compounded tirzepatide via Lilly litigation.
A licensed US pharmacy makes compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide to a prescription. They are not FDA-approved and they are not Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro. The FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality, and their formulation, including the salt form, can differ from the approved drug. Confirm the active ingredient and the pharmacy with the prescriber. The FDA removed semaglutide from the drug-shortage list in February 2025, which narrowed the legal basis for routine 503A compounding of exact-copy semaglutide. Mochi Health uses a personalized-formulation model: the compound adds an active ingredient such as vitamin B12. Some state pharmacy boards tightened oversight through 2025 and 2026. For the full background see our compounded vs FDA-approved breakdown.
