Temi vs. Ivim Health: a care membership against per-order
Medically reviewed by Kevin Brandstetter, M.D.Last reviewed September 28, 2026
Ivim Health charges a program fee of about $75 a month plus medication: compounded semaglutide from $75 a month and compounded tirzepatide from $133 [2]. Programs run 1, 2, 4 or 6 months and cannot be cancelled once started. Temi has no program fee or term: compounded semaglutide is from $59.99 per vial plus $39 [3].
The core difference
Ivim treats the membership as the product. Its membership page says a prescription is where care starts, not where it lives, and prices ongoing care at $75 a month with medication billed separately from $75 [1]. Its GLP-1 ID page is more specific: compounded semaglutide from $75 a month, compounded tirzepatide from $133, plus a $74.99 monthly program fee [2]. You choose a 1-, 2-, 4- or 6-month program at checkout, most people start on a 4-month Jumpstart, and cancellation is not available once the program has started because medication ships against that term. In return you get a video or chat consultation, weekly app check-ins and dose adjustments. Temi is built the opposite way. There is no program fee, no term and no weekly cadence. You order a vial when you need one — compounded semaglutide from $59.99 per 7.5 mg vial, compounded tirzepatide from $104.99 per 8.5 mg vial — and pay a flat $39 prescription service fee [4]. The question is whether you want a structured programme or the freedom to stop.

Where the other provider offers more
Ivim argues that the medication is the easy part and the care around it is what changes outcomes, and it puts more behind that argument than most. Its GLP-1 ID programme includes weekly check-ins with provider-approved dose adjustments, unlimited provider access, 1:1 holistic consultations, master classes, group coaching and a community, plus a supplement discount [2]. Its membership page adds functional health coaches and a dedicated patient experience team [1]. Ivim cites two peer-reviewed retrospective studies in Obesity Pillars covering 1,131 semaglutide and 1,166 tirzepatide patients, and says plainly they are not randomised trials. Its traditional program keeps brand-name patients inside the same care model, and Klarna lets you spread the cost. If weekly contact with a provider is what you have been missing, Ivim is built for that. Temi offers no weekly check-ins or coaching, and a brand-name prescription from Temi is filled by the manufacturer rather than managed inside a programme.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Ivim Health cost per month?
Two charges. The GLP-1 ID page lists a $74.99 monthly program fee plus medication: compounded semaglutide from $75 a month or compounded tirzepatide from $133 [2]. That puts the published floor at about $150 a month for semaglutide. Temi has no program fee; compounded semaglutide starts at $59.99 per vial plus a $39 service fee [3].
Can I cancel Ivim Health anytime?
No, not mid-program. Ivim's FAQ says GLP-1 ID programs run for the 1, 2, 4 or 6 months you select, most patients start with a 4-month Jumpstart, and cancellation is not available once the program has started [2]. At Temi each order stands alone, so stopping means simply not ordering again.
Does Ivim Health take insurance?
Ivim's membership and GLP-1 ID pages price care and medication as self-pay and do not describe insurance billing [1]; they do list Klarna as a payment option. Confirm directly with Ivim if you hope to use coverage for brand-name drugs. Temi is cash-pay only and never bills insurance.
Is Ivim Health legit?
Ivim says it was founded in 2021 by Dr. Taylor Kantor with family members, uses board-certified providers and independent licensed compounding pharmacies, and has published two peer-reviewed retrospective studies [2]. Its membership page shows a 4.9 rating across 39,609 reviews [1]. As with any compounded provider, its medications are not FDA-approved.
Does Ivim offer Wegovy or Zepbound?
Yes. Its FAQ says patients who prefer branded medication have access to Zepbound and Wegovy through its traditional GLP-1 program [2]. A Temi clinician can also prescribe Zepbound, Wegovy or Foundayo; Temi does not dispense them, and Zepbound is filled by LillyDirect at Lilly's self-pay prices [7]. See compounded tirzepatide vs. Zepbound.
What does the Ivim program fee include?
Per its GLP-1 ID page: unlimited provider access, weekly dose adjustments after app check-ins, 1:1 virtual holistic consultations, master classes, group coaching and community, 20% off physician-formulated supplements, and progress tracking in the Ivim app [2]. Temi's $39 service fee covers a physician's review of one order rather than an ongoing programme.
Is Temi's membership required?
No. You can order a compounded GLP-1 without any membership — the cost is the medication price plus a flat $39 prescription service fee. The optional Temi Care membership costs $449 a year and covers that fee on eligible compounded orders, plus $0 refills on non-controlled medications [5], but nothing about being treated depends on it.
What are alternatives to Ivim Health?
If you want support without a locked term, Remedy Meds runs month to month. If you want no programme at all, Temi prices each order separately. For a bundled plan with an insurance option, see Found. Our Temi vs. Remedy Meds and Temi vs. Found pages carry current terms.
