Temi vs. MyMedRefills: batch pricing or $15 a medication
Medically reviewed by Kevin Brandstetter, M.D.Last reviewed September 28, 2026
MyMedRefills charges $39.99 for one medication and up to $89.99 for six, writing a 30- or 90-day refill within a few hours in all 50 states [2]. A 12-month refill after a video visit costs $115 or more [2]. Temi charges $15 per medication, reviewed by a licensed physician within 48 hours [1].
The core difference
Both are refill-only, asynchronous services that send the prescription to your pharmacy and leave the drug price to the counter. What separates them is how they charge and how long a refill lasts.
MyMedRefills prices on a ladder: $39.99 for one medication, rising $10 per drug to $89.99 for six, for a 30- or 90-day refill [2]. For stable patients it now sells a 12-month refill after a 15-minute video appointment: $115 for one or two medications, $175 for three or four, $235 for five or six [2]. Physicians licensed in all 50 states review requests within a few hours [2].
Temi charges a flat $15 per medication, reviewed within 48 hours, and states no day supply on its refill page [1]. The optional $449 Temi Care membership makes refills free [4].
Scope splits them further. MyMedRefills will not refill weight-loss drugs, hormone replacement, injectables, antibiotics or steroids, among others [2]. Temi's compounded GLP-1 service sits apart from refills [3].

Where the other provider offers more
MyMedRefills tells you exactly what you are buying before you pay. Each refill is written for 30 or 90 days, where Temi's refill page states no supply length [2] [1]. Its 12-month option is the standout: one 15-minute video visit and $115 covers a year of one or two stable medications, which is less than eight Temi refills [2] [1]. It is faster, reviewing within a few hours and aiming to have prescriptions ready for pickup within 30 minutes of sending [2]. It says its physicians are licensed in all 50 states, so coverage is settled before you start [2]. And it checks photo ID, bottles and a selfie, a verification step some patients will find reassuring [2]. For someone on two stable generics who wants the year sorted in one sitting, MyMedRefills is the better buy.
Frequently asked questions
Is MyMedRefills legit?
MyMedRefills says requests are reviewed by board-certified physicians licensed in all 50 states, verifies each patient with a photo ID, medication bottles and a selfie, and publishes a full list of what it will not refill [2]. It is open that it does not treat new conditions. Those are the marks of a narrow, careful service rather than a cause for concern.
How much does MyMedRefills cost?
A 30- or 90-day refill costs $39.99 for one medication, $49.99 for two, $59.99 for three and so on up to $89.99 for six [2]. A 12-month refill after a video visit costs $115, $175 or $235 depending on how many medications [2]. The drug itself is paid at your pharmacy. Temi charges $15 per medication [1].
Does MyMedRefills take insurance?
No. Its FAQ states "We do not bill any insurance for our health care service" [2]. Your insurance can still pay for the medication at the pharmacy, because the prescription is an ordinary e-prescription. Temi is the same: the $15 fee is cash, and the pharmacy bills your plan or charges its cash price for the drug [1].
How fast is MyMedRefills?
MyMedRefills says its team reviews requests within minutes to a few hours, and refills go out the same day [2]. Temi reviews within 48 hours, often sooner [1]. If your bottle runs out tonight, MyMedRefills is more likely to have the prescription at your pharmacy by closing time; if you are refilling ahead, the difference matters less.
What medications will MyMedRefills not refill?
Its list covers controlled substances, injections, medications needing close monitoring, opioids, benzodiazepines, muscle relaxers, antipsychotics, ADHD drugs, weight-loss medication, hormone replacement therapy, immunosuppressants including steroids, antibiotics and antivirals [2]. Temi's refill service excludes controlled substances and new prescriptions [1], and handles GLP-1s through a separate service.
Can I get a 12-month prescription refill online?
At MyMedRefills, yes, if you have been stable on the medication. You book a 15-minute video appointment, complete the intake form, and receive a 12-month refill for $115 for one or two medications [2]. Temi does not sell an annual refill; each refill is $15, or free on the $449 Temi Care membership [1] [4].
Do I need a video call with MyMedRefills?
Usually not. The standard 30- or 90-day refill is asynchronous, but patients in Maryland, Louisiana or Kentucky may get a phone call or a video link [2]. The 12-month option always needs a 15-minute video appointment [2]. Temi's refill review has no call in any state; a physician reads the request and responds in writing [1].
Which is cheaper, MyMedRefills or Temi?
Per refill, Temi: $15 against $39.99 for one medication and $45 against $59.99 for three [1] [2]. At six medications the two meet at about $90. Over a year the answer can flip, because MyMedRefills' $115 annual option can beat eight or more separate $15 refills [2].
