Approach MEDVi is a telehealth clinic based in Newark, Delaware that focuses exclusively on making GLP-1 medications accessible and affordable, connecting patients to licensed providers and delivering prescriptions quickly and securely. The platform’s model emphasizes speed of access, all-inclusive transparent pricing, and ongoing provider availability — positioning itself against larger multi-service platforms by maintaining a focused, weight-loss-only clinical menu.

About the Company

MEDVi, started in 2023, connects patients with medical weight loss solutions and is headquartered in San Diego, California. It partners with Belmar Pharma Solutions and Beluga Health to provide GLP-1 medications and telehealth care by licensed providers. The company is LegitScript certified, meaning it is regularly monitored, meets transparency standards, and complies with all applicable state and federal laws.

The platform’s structural model separates three functions: MEDVi handles the technology platform, billing, and non-clinical support; OpenLoop Health provides the network of US-licensed physicians who evaluate patient-submitted health information and determine whether compounded GLP-1 medications are medically appropriate, with prescribing authority remaining solely with licensed clinicians; and Belmar Pharma Solutions handles the compounding and dispensing.

MEDVi’s primary differentiator is speed and convenience — partnering with Belmar Pharma Solutions and Beluga Health, MEDVi helps most patients get approved and start treatment within just a few days, instead of waiting weeks for care. It does not offer lifestyle coaching, nutrition tracking, or app-based behavioral support — the program is medication access focused.

GLP-1 Offerings and Weight Loss Services

MEDVi offers one of the broadest format menus for compounded GLP-1s in this review series, with both injectable and oral tablet options for semaglutide and tirzepatide:

Compounded Semaglutide:

• Weekly injectable — once-weekly subcutaneous injection; the format with the most clinical alignment to approved Wegovy trial protocols
• Daily oral tablet — dissolvable tablet format for patients who prefer needle-free administration

Compounded Tirzepatide:

• Weekly injectable and daily oral tablet — both available when clinically appropriate

Brand-Name Options:

• Ozempic — available at higher price points when in stock; Wegovy — also available; not always in supply

Additional Features:

• MEDVi Meals — chef-prepared, medically aligned nutrition delivery designed to complement GLP-1 treatment by supporting fat loss while preserving muscle
• Doctor-designed supplement formulas available as optional add-ons

Pricing — and What Reviewers Say

MEDVi uses a tiered pricing structure with discounted introductory first-month rates that increase substantially in subsequent months:

Compounded Semaglutide Injectable:

• $299/month on a month-to-month plan, or $179/month on a 12-month prepaid plan

Compounded Semaglutide Tablets:

• $249/month introductory first month, with refill pricing at $369/month

Compounded Tirzepatide (injectable and tablets):

• $399/month month-to-month, or $299/month on a 12-month plan

Brand-Name:

• Ozempic: $750 first month, then $950/month; Wegovy: $950 first month, then $1,150/month

MEDVi does not charge a separate membership fee on top of monthly medication costs, and medications are shipped free of charge.

What reviewers say about pricing: The introductory pricing model is the platform’s most consistent source of consumer frustration. Multiple reviewers describe the pricing as a bait-and-switch — the significantly lower first-month rate leads patients to expect ongoing pricing at the same level, only to find the monthly cost roughly doubles from month two onward without clear disclosure during signup. To get the best pricing, patients need to plan for and commit to a long-term subscription upfront— something that is not immediately obvious in the platform’s marketing. Patients should confirm the full ongoing monthly cost before enrolling and calculate total annual cost across all plan tiers before choosing a subscription length.

Reviews from Trustpilot and Google

MEDVi has 11,283 Trustpilot reviews at time of writing — the second-largest review pool in this review series, behind only Henry Meds.

What patients praise:

• Provider quality receives consistent praise — reviewers describe personalized consultations, genuine attentiveness from NPs, and clinical responsiveness that feels like real medical care rather than a prescription conveyor belt
• Real weight loss results reported across many reviews, with some patients describing significant body composition changes within the first several months of treatment
• The 24/7 provider support and regular check-ins are cited as helping patients stay consistent where other platforms offer only minimal follow-up

Common complaints:

• Billing issues after cancellation — multiple reviewers report continued charges to their accounts after requesting cancellation, with difficulty reaching effective customer service to resolve the problem
• Pricing transparency — the gap between introductory pricing and ongoing monthly rates is the most frequently cited frustration, with some reviewers describing the delta as undisclosed or minimized during the signup process
• Mixed shipping consistency — some patients report delays or temperature handling issues with injectable medication
• Product efficacy complaints appear in a subset of reviews — patients describing zero appetite suppression or no observable effect, suggesting batch variability

Compounding Pharmacies Used

MEDVi sources its compounded GLP-1 drugs from Belmar Pharma Solutions — one of the largest and most established compounding pharmacies in the US, operating under cGMP-aligned standards. The public disclosure of Belmar as the pharmacy partner is a meaningful transparency positive, allowing patients to independently research the pharmacy’s regulatory standing and quality certifications before ordering.

Note: MEDVi has one of the largest independent review pools in this review series at 11,283 Trustpilot reviews, and its partnership with named pharmacy Belmar Pharma Solutions and clinical network OpenLoop Health provides more supply chain transparency than most platforms. However, the introductory pricing model — where first-month rates are roughly half of ongoing monthly rates — is the platform’s most consistent source of consumer complaints and should be fully understood before enrolling. Billing continuation after cancellation is a documented pattern across multiple reviews. Patients should confirm ongoing pricing, cancellation terms, and total annual cost before committing. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. Always consult a licensed medical provider before beginning any GLP-1 program.
