Temi vs. MEDVi: prices, terms and one public record

MEDVi's GLP-1 page says its semaglutide program starts at $149 for the first month, with no contract, and refills are "locked in at $299" [1]. Compounded tablets start at $249, and Wegovy or Zepbound cost a $99 membership plus the medication. The $149 is labelled a sale price, so confirm it at checkout. Temi's compounded semaglutide starts at $59.99 per vial plus $39 [6].

MEDVi is a real telehealth platform: prescribing decisions are made by OpenLoop Health clinicians, and it names its partner pharmacies on its site [2]. It also received an FDA warning letter in February 2026 over misleading claims about its compounded products [4]. Weigh both facts, read the letter itself, and check the FDA database for any later response or closeout.

The letter, issued by CDER on 20 February 2026, said MEDVi's website falsely represented MEDVi as the compounder of its semaglutide and tirzepatide products, and that phrases such as "same active ingredient as Wegovy and Ozempic" misleadingly implied equivalence to FDA-approved drugs. It cited misbranding under sections 502(a) and 502(bb) and asked for a written response within 15 working days [4].

No. MEDVi says all its prescriptions are cash-pay, though insurance may reimburse you for branded options, and it accepts HSA and FSA [1]. Temi is also cash-pay only and never bills insurance. Neither will bill a plan directly for compounded medication, which insurers generally do not cover.

Under MEDVi's refund policy you get a full refund if you cancel within the first 72 hours before receiving any services, or if a provider disqualifies you. On monthly billing there is no refund for the month in which you cancel or earlier months, and cancellation must reach MEDVi at least 72 hours before the next billing date [3].

MEDVi advertises $149 for the first month of its semaglutide program and $299 for refills [1], so the introductory month is discounted rather than the ongoing rate. Budget on the refill price. Temi does not use an introductory rate; each order is the same per-vial price plus the $39 service fee, and our GLP-1 cost calculator compares totals.

No. A warning letter notifies a company of violations the FDA has identified and requires a response; it is not a closure order or a court ruling. The FDA posts response and closeout letters when a matter is resolved, and its public database is the place to check current status [5]. MEDVi's site was operating when we checked on 28 September 2026.

Whether the price is published before you pay, whether it changes after the first month, whether a membership is required, how cancellation and refunds work, which pharmacy fills the order, and whether the company has any FDA warning letters. Confirm terms on each company's own site. Our Temi vs. Henry Meds page applies the same checks to another provider.
