Temi costs less. Three medications are $45 at Temi, $15 per request. The same three are $59 per 90 days at Refill Genie. Temi also answers 24/7 and prescribes medications you have not taken before, which their site says they do not do.

Is Temi a Refill Genie alternative?
Yes. Both review medications you already take and send the prescription to your pharmacy. Temi charges $15 per medication and backs the review with the Temi Satisfaction Guarantee.
Is Refill Genie worth it?
Their $59 plan puts up to 3 existing medications in one checkout every 90 days. Buy it if one transaction matters more than the price. Their site excludes new medications, controlled substances, GLP-1 injections, and medications requiring monitoring.
Do I pay Temi again for every refill?
Not for every pickup. Each $15 request buys one physician review. If the physician approves, they decide the supply and how many pharmacy refills to put on it. Collecting a refill your pharmacy already holds costs nothing at Temi. When the prescription runs out, you submit a new $15 request. Even taking the conservative case of a new request every 90 days, three medications are $45 a cycle to Refill Genie's $59.
How fast is the review?
A licensed physician reviews your request within 48 hours, often sooner. Timing depends on what the physician needs from you, so it is not a guaranteed turnaround.
Can Temi prescribe something new?
Yes. Temi's New Prescription service reviews a medication you have not taken before, for $79, or $0 with Temi Care.
What medications qualify?
Non-controlled maintenance medications. That covers blood pressure, cholesterol, thyroid, diabetes, acid reflux, asthma, antidepressants, birth control, and other routine prescriptions. Controlled substances and isotretinoin are refused at intake, before you pay anything.
Do I need insurance?
No. Temi is cash-pay and never bills insurance. At the pharmacy you can pay however you like, insurance or a discount card included, and the Temi team will look for a discount card or a manufacturer program if the cash price comes back high.
Do I have to change pharmacies?
No. You name the pharmacy and the prescription goes there. Temi does not dispense or ship medication.
What if I moved or my doctor retired?
Temi does not need a relationship with your old practice. We need the medication you take and the state you are physically in right now.
Is there a membership, and do I need it?
No, you do not need one. The $15 on this page is the price without any membership. Temi Care is $449 a year and includes unlimited $0 prescription renewals for eligible non-controlled medications and a $0 New Prescription service. Your pharmacy still bills you for the medication either way.
What is the Temi Satisfaction Guarantee?
Tell the team you are not satisfied with Temi's clinical service and why, and the review fee is refunded. A decision you did not want is not by itself a refund, because the fee pays for the physician's review either way. Money Temi collected for something it did not deliver is always refunded.
Which states does Temi cover?
Temi reviews refills for patients physically located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin. What matters is the state you are in when you submit the request, not where you used to see a doctor.
What will Temi not prescribe?
No controlled substances, which includes stimulants, opioids, and benzodiazepines. No isotretinoin, because it dispenses only through a federal program with monthly in-person steps. No patients under 18, no care that needs a physical exam, and no emergency care.
What happens if the physician does not approve my request?
The $15 pays for the physician's review, not for a particular answer. If the answer is no, the physician talks it through with you and says what to do instead, and the team stays with you until it is sorted. The fee is refunded under the Temi Satisfaction Guarantee if you tell us you were not satisfied with the clinical service and why.
