Mochi Health
56/100Where the value is
- Names five board-certified obesity-medicine physicians on its About page (Valledor, Jones, Barrick, A. Patel, Am. Patel MDs/DOs), unusual specificity for this tier of provider
- Available in all 50 states per the About page, a real expansion from the network dataset's outdated '15 states'
- Membership includes ongoing care-team messaging and coaching, not just a one-time prescription
The tradeoffs
- The advertised '$99' and '$199' medication prices are NOT the monthly cost — a separate $79/mo membership is mandatory and stacks on top, so the real floor is $178/mo (semaglutide) and $278/mo (tirzepatide)
- No compounding pharmacy is named anywhere on the site, including a dedicated /pharmacy page that markets the partnership program without ever identifying a partner
Premium Health
55/100Where the value is
- All-inclusive flat pricing stated to cover medical consultation, provider visits, medication, supplies, and shipment in one number
- Month-to-month with 'the option to cancel anytime if unsatisfied' — no long-term contract
- Names three real, licensed pharmacy partners (Hallandale Pharmacy, Red Rock Pharmacy, Strive Pharmacy)
The tradeoffs
- The $275/$445 base price is NOT the ceiling: reaching the higher labeled doses costs an additional $100/mo or $150/mo, pushing the real cost to $375-$595/mo
- Compounded medications are not FDA-approved
