What hidden fees do online GLP-1 programs charge?
The most common extra cost is a monthly membership billed on top of the medication: 3 of the 11 online GLP-1 programs we track charge one (Hers $149, Mochi Health $79, Ro $149). 8 programs advertise an all-in price that includes the medication. Other costs to check: intro prices that rise after month one, lab tests, and prepaid-plan terms.

1. Membership on top of medication
Hers, Mochi Health and Ro bill a membership separately from the medication, so the real monthly cost is membership + medication. CoreAge Rx, Embody, EverPrime, Found Health, HealthRX, Henry Meds, PlexusDx and Remedy Meds advertise a price that already includes the medication.
2. Intro prices
Found Health, HealthRX, Hers, Mochi Health, Remedy Meds and Ro charge less for the first month (or the first month of membership). Compare the regular price, not the intro price — our cost calculator adds both.
3. Lab tests
Some programs require or may request blood work, billed separately. Mochi Health and Ro publish a lab cost or note. Ask whether labs are included before you start.
4. Plan length and cancellation
Prepaid 3-, 6- or 12-month plans lower the monthly price but are billed up front. Check the refund and cancellation terms before choosing one, especially if you may not be prescribed or may stop early.

It depends on the program: some include labs, some don’t require them, and others bill lab kits separately. Each program profile lists what is published.
Every number comes from the program profiles, which list their sources and check dates; values we couldn't confirm are left out, not estimated. Prices change often — confirm with the program before enrolling. We may earn a commission from some programs; that never changes the numbers. Not medical advice.
