Temi vs. Push Health: a published price or a quoted one
Medically reviewed by Kevin Brandstetter, M.D.Last reviewed September 28, 2026
Push Health is a marketplace: your request goes to "the first available Healthcare Provider licensed in your state", and the initial consultation is "typically between $64.99 to $80.00 in most states" [2]. It does not accept insurance for that fee [3]. Temi publishes one price — $15 a refill — reviewed by a licensed physician [1].
The core difference
Push Health connects you with an independent provider who runs their own practice on its platform — "Your practice, your terms, anywhere" is its pitch to clinicians [4]. That structure shapes the price. Your request "will be open to the first available Healthcare Provider licensed in your state", and "The price of the initial consultation varies, but is typically between $64.99 to $80.00 in most states" [2]. The fee covers the provider's consultation plus Push Health's "Processing and Platform fees", and never the drug [5]. Insurance cannot pay it: "Push Health is an out of pocket medical option" [3].
Temi sets its own prices and applies them to everyone. A refill review is $15, $0 on the optional $449-a-year plan, and a licensed physician reviews it within 48 hours [1]. A new prescription is $79 [6].
Both leave the medication to your pharmacy, and both let insurance apply there [2] [6]. The difference is the relationship. Push Health gives you a named provider you can keep messaging. Temi gives you a fixed price and no conversation, which suits a regimen that has not changed.

Where the other provider offers more
Push Health is a relationship rather than a transaction. Once matched, you can message your provider for status updates and medication questions — an ongoing thread with one clinician, not a form [2]. Its reach is wide: condition pages run from prescription refills, blood pressure and diabetes to antidepressants, hormone replacement therapy, perimenopause, STD and UTI treatment, TB tests and GLP-1 medications including Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic and Foundayo [4]. It is integrated with Quest Diagnostics for lab work and with over 55,000 pharmacies [4]. There is no subscription; you pay per request [2]. For someone who wants a clinician to keep talking to, or who needs more than a stable prescription continued, Push Health offers something Temi has chosen not to build.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Push Health cost?
Push Health's support centre says "The price of the initial consultation varies, but is typically between $64.99 to $80.00 in most states" [2]. The fee covers the provider's consultation and Push Health's processing and platform fees, not the medication [5]. Temi publishes a flat $15 per refill and $79 for a new prescription [1] [6].
Does Push Health take insurance?
Not for the consultation. "Push Health is an out of pocket medical option. We do not accept insurance as payment for your online consultation", and it takes debit, credit and PayPal [3]. Insurance "may still be applied to the cost of medication depending on the pharmacy you select" [3]. Temi works the same way: cash for the review, insurance at the counter [6].
Is Push Health legit?
It is a real platform connecting patients with independent, state-licensed providers, integrated with Quest Diagnostics and over 55,000 pharmacies [4] [2]. On Trustpilot it held a 3.9 TrustScore from 782 reviews when we checked, on a profile the company had not claimed [8]. The recurring complaint was slow replies from an assigned provider.
How does Push Health work?
You submit a request, and it "will be open to the first available Healthcare Provider licensed in your state"; you get an email once a provider accepts [2]. You pay the consultation fee, the provider decides whether to prescribe, and the prescription goes to the pharmacy you choose [2]. Temi skips the matching step — a licensed physician reviews every refill request directly [1].
Can I choose my provider on Push Health?
Not at the start. Requests go to the first available licensed provider in your state, and the platform does the matching [2]. After that you can message that provider through your account [2]. Temi does not assign an individual clinician; a licensed physician reviews each request within 48 hours [1].
Can Push Health refill my prescription?
Yes, a Push Health provider can refill medication after a consultation — prescription refill is one of its listed conditions [4]. Expect the consultation range of $64.99 to $80.00 [2]. For a stable, non-controlled maintenance medication, Temi's $15 review is the cheaper route; for a medication that needs discussion, Push Health's messaging helps.
Does Push Health prescribe GLP-1s like Zepbound or Ozempic?
Its site lists GLP-1 agonists, Zepbound, Mounjaro, Ozempic and Foundayo among its condition pages [4]; whether you get one depends on the provider. Temi prescribes compounded semaglutide from $59.99 per 7.5 mg vial plus $39, and brand-name options at manufacturer self-pay prices [7] [9]. Compounded products are not FDA-approved.
Is Push Health cheaper than Temi?
For a straightforward refill, no: $64.99 to $80.00 typical against $15 [2] [1]. For something that needs a real consultation — a new symptom, a dose change, lab work — Push Health can do what Temi's refill service does not. Neither price includes the medication, which you pay at your pharmacy either way.
