The short answer

MEDVi operates two pricing structures. Its compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide programs charge no membership fee—the monthly medication price is all-in, covering the drug, provider visit, unlimited support, and shipping. The introductory first-month rate for compounded semaglutide injection is $179, then $299/month refills; compounded tirzepatide starts at $279, then $399/month. In contrast, MEDVi's branded Wegovy or Zepbound pathway requires a $99/month membership fee plus a separate medication cost that varies by product and channel. If you choose compounded medication, no subscription or membership is involved—you pay one line-item price each month. If you pursue branded medication, budget $99/month membership plus medication. The compounded option is simpler to budget and costs nothing extra beyond the medication price itself.

What the membership fee covers—and what it doesn't

MEDVi's compounded programs have no membership fee. The monthly medication price includes the drug itself, an initial provider consultation, unlimited follow-up support, and shipping. Dose increases within the protocol do not change the price. You pay one figure each month, and that figure covers everything.

On the branded pathway (Wegovy or Zepbound), MEDVi charges a $99/month membership fee that covers the provider visit, care coaching, dietitian visit, and unlimited doctor calls. The medication itself is billed separately, and the final cost depends on the product and whether you use insurance, a manufacturer coupon, or cash pay. Our research captured the membership structure at checkout but not the all-in medication total, so anyone considering the branded route should confirm the medication price before committing.

This two-tier structure means "what medication costs extra" depends entirely on which pathway you choose. Compounded: nothing extra. Branded: $99/month membership plus medication.

Normalized 12-month cost: accounting for the introductory rate

MEDVi's compounded programs start with a lower first-month rate, then jump to a higher refill price. To compare annual cost fairly, we calculate 12 months including the introductory month.

MEDVi compounded semaglutide (injection)

• Month 1: $179 (introductory first-month rate)
• Months 2–12: 11 × $299 = $3,289
• 12-month total: $3,468 (our calculation)
• Effective monthly average: $289 (our calculation)

MEDVi compounded semaglutide (oral tablet)

• Month 1: $249
• Months 2–12: 11 × $369 = $4,059
• 12-month total: $4,308 (our calculation)
• Effective monthly average: $359 (our calculation)

MEDVi compounded tirzepatide

• Month 1: $279
• Months 2–12: 11 × $399 = $4,389
• 12-month total: $4,668 (our calculation)
• Effective monthly average: $389 (our calculation)

MEDVi branded pathway (membership only)

• 12 × $99 = $1,188/year membership
• Plus medication cost (variable by product and channel; not captured)

PlexusDx (flat month-to-month, no introductory discount)

• Semaglutide injection: 12 × $189 = $2,268/year
• Tirzepatide injection: 12 × $289 = $3,468/year

MEDVi's compounded semaglutide costs $1,200 more over 12 months than PlexusDx semaglutide ($3,468 vs. $2,268, our calculation). MEDVi's compounded tirzepatide also costs $1,200 more than PlexusDx tirzepatide ($4,668 vs. $3,468, our calculation). The introductory month softens the first bill, but the refill rate drives the annual total higher.

Additional program features and bundle options

MEDVi includes free care coaching, a free dietitian visit, and unlimited doctor calls across all programs. The platform offers both injection and oral tablet routes for semaglutide and both injection and oral forms for tirzepatide. Oral tablets for semaglutide add $70/month to the base injection price ($249 first month, $369 refill).

MEDVi also offers 3-, 6-, and 12-month prepaid bundles with 0% financing, extending commitment terms up to 48 weeks on the longest bundle. These bundles may reduce the effective per-month cost, but exact prepaid pricing was not captured in our research. The month-to-month path carries no contract—you can cancel anytime.

Service quality and review record

MEDVi holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot with approximately 15,000 reviews (captured September 4, 2026). PlexusDx holds a 4.3-star rating on Trustpilot, with 79% of reviews at five stars and 83% at four stars or higher (captured September 9, 2026; trustpilot.com/review/plexusdx.com). Both platforms maintain similar aggregate scores; individual service experience will vary by case complexity and support responsiveness.

Choose MEDVi if…

• You value access to both compounded and branded medication pathways under one provider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does MEDVi charge a membership fee for compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide?

No. MEDVi's compounded GLP-1 programs have no membership fee. The monthly medication price is all-in, covering the drug, provider visit, unlimited support, and shipping. Only the branded Wegovy/Zepbound pathway requires a $99/month membership.

What does the $99 MEDVi membership cover on the branded pathway?

The $99/month membership on MEDVi's branded Wegovy or Zepbound pathway covers the provider consultation, care coaching, a dietitian visit, and unlimited doctor calls. Medication is billed separately, and the final cost depends on your insurance, manufacturer coupons, or cash-pay channel.

Why does MEDVi's first-month price jump at refill?

MEDVi offers an introductory first-month rate to lower the entry barrier. After month one, the price rises to the standard refill rate. This structure means your second bill is higher than your first. Over 12 months, the effective average is closer to the refill rate than the intro rate.
