Who Medical Health Institute may suit
Shoppers comparing across TRT, peptides, and weight loss under one provider who don't need public pricing detail up front.
Where the value is
- Advertises a competitively low $100/mo entry price for GLP-1 weight loss
- Offers multiple service lines (weight loss, TRT, peptide therapy) under one provider
- LegitScript and HIPAA-compliance badges both displayed on the homepage
The tradeoffs
- The $100/mo headline price carries the company's own asterisk — '*Based on pharmacy availability' — meaning it is explicitly not a guaranteed rate before intake
- No dose tier or even which drug (semaglutide vs. tirzepatide) the $100 figure applies to is disclosed anywhere public
- Claims 'Transparent pricing' and 'no surprise fees' while publishing no actual itemized price breakdown beyond the asterisked floor
- It doesn't name a medical director or compounding pharmacy, list its states or disclose lab testing
What Medical Health Institute charges
Medical Health Institute, or MHI, advertises its GLP-1 weight-loss program from $100 a month. That figure carries an asterisk: "based on pharmacy availability." MHI doesn't say which drug or dose the $100 covers, and it doesn't publish a tirzepatide price or a price list by dose. Ask for the full monthly cost of your specific medication before you commit.
MHI describes itself as a clinician-led membership. Its terms say program fees, consultation fees and medication costs are disclosed before you buy, and recurring fees are billed on whatever schedule you're shown at checkout until you cancel. Its services aren't covered by insurance.
The same membership covers other programs, too. Testosterone therapy starts at $99 a month and peptide therapy at $129.
Considering Medical Health Institute?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
How care works
You start by choosing weight loss as your goal and completing an intake. MHI says its program is lab-guided, with blood work and biomarkers used to set and adjust your dose, followed by regular check-ins. Ask whether lab work costs extra and where you'd have it drawn.
MHI doesn't name a medical director on its site, so ask who will oversee your care. Members are also paired with a non-physician health advisor or coordinator, who works under the doctors' supervision. Only a licensed provider decides whether you get a prescription, and not everyone qualifies.
Who fills it, and where it's offered
Medications are dispensed through licensed pharmacy partners, which MHI doesn't name. MHI is based in Miami, and its GLP-1 program requires you to live in a state where it or its affiliated providers are licensed. It doesn't publish a list of those states, so check during sign-up.
Refunds and canceling
MHI's terms say refund rules vary by service and are described at checkout or in your program agreement. Medication and compounded prescriptions generally can't be refunded once they've been dispensed. Recurring fees continue until you cancel, so get the cancellation steps and notice period in writing when you enroll.
Before you sign up
- Ask which medication and dose the $100 starting price applies to, and what it costs if the pharmacy can't supply it at that price.
- Ask whether the membership fee is separate from the medication.
- MHI doesn't offer brand-name Wegovy or Zepbound through this program.
