Whoosh Wellness Review: Price, Pros & Cons

Whoosh sells compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide on monthly, three-month and six-month plans. On the monthly plan, the price depends on the form you choose rather than your exact dose:

The $149 and $199 "starting at" prices are the microdose rates, which are lower-dose plans. The microdose offer is not a substitute for a standard prescribed regimen. Ask the clinician which option, if any, is suitable for you.

Whoosh says the monthly price covers the physician review, the medication, syringes and alcohol swabs, monthly provider check-ins and free shipping. It doesn't take insurance, but says most plans can be paid with an HSA or FSA card.

The longer plans lower what you pay per month. On Whoosh's pricing chart, the three- and six-month amounts carry the same "/mo" label as the monthly ones, yet the product pages divide the six-month amount by six to get their lower "as low as" price. Ask whether you're paying that amount once for the whole plan or every month, and check the total and the next charge date at checkout before you commit.

Whoosh is a platform, not a medical practice. Its FAQ names Wasef Health, PC, under Michael Wasef, MD, as the clinical group whose providers review your intake. You fill out a questionnaire, a physician reviews it, and Whoosh says most people hear back within 24 hours. You don't have to meet your provider by video.

The same FAQ names F&F Pharmacies, doing business as Jungle Jim's Pharmacy, in Fairfield, Ohio, as its partner pharmacy. It says that pharmacy is licensed in 45 states but not in California, Nevada, New Jersey, Alabama or Arkansas, and that it can't dispense sterile compounds. Elsewhere Whoosh says its medication comes from licensed 503A and 503B pharmacies and that every batch is third-party tested. If you're ordering an injection, ask which pharmacy will fill it and whether it ships to your state.

You're only billed once a physician approves a prescription. If you don't qualify, you owe nothing. After that, refills renew automatically each month, and Whoosh says you can cancel any time before your next renewal date.

The return policy is short: prescription products can't be returned and all sales are final, unless Whoosh made an error filling your prescription. Its terms also send disputes to binding individual arbitration unless you opt out, and you must be 18 or older to use the service.

• Decide between microdose and full dose first, since they're priced differently.
• On a three- or six-month plan, confirm the checkout total and how many months it covers.
• Ask which pharmacy fills your prescription.
• Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide aren't FDA-approved, which Whoosh states in its own disclaimer.
