Mochi Health Reviews

Mochi Health aims to make getting obesity care simple and virtual. You start by filling out an online questionnaire about your health and weight goals. Then you schedule a video visit with a board-certified doctor or dietitian who will review your history and discuss treatment options, including weight loss medications if they’re right for you.

If prescribed, your medication is sent to a partner pharmacy and shipped straight to your door. Your membership includes ongoing access to your care team for follow-ups and support. You can manage appointments and communicate with providers through the Mochi app or website. You can cancel your membership anytime without fees or penalties.

Mochi typically doesn’t offer refunds for any reason on medications. If you receive an incorrect medication, Mochi asks that you reach out to its customer care team for assistance.

Mochi offers weight loss medication options based on your health history, goals and what your provider decides is medically appropriate. With options ranging from injectable GLP-1s to oral options, it has a wide variety of choices depending on your needs.

Here’s a look at the weight loss medications Mochi Health offers.

Injectable weight loss medication

Injectable weight loss medications from Mochi Health include:

• Wegovy / Ozempic (semaglutide): A GLP-1 agonist created for Type 2 diabetes and approved for weight loss in 2021. It helps reduce appetite by increasing insulin and slowing stomach emptying. Clinical trials showed 10% to 14% weight loss when paired with exercise and dietary support.
• Mounjaro / Zepbound (tirzepatide): Targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to help curb cravings and keep you full longer. Mochi cites studies showing weight loss of up to 22.5% with ongoing use.
• Saxenda / Victoza (liraglutide): Another GLP-1 medication, similar to semaglutide. It works by slowing digestion and signaling the brain to reduce hunger. Trial results show about 6% weight loss after one year.

Oral medications

Oral weight loss medications from Mochi Health include:

• Rybelsus (semaglutide): The oral version of semaglutide. Mochi notes it works similarly to Wegovy and Ozempic and may support weight loss with lifestyle changes.
• Topamax / Qudexy / Trokendi XR (topiramate): A medication developed for epilepsy, now used off-label for weight loss. Mochi says it helps reduce cravings, and patients have shown 5% to 14% weight loss in studies.
• Zyban / Contrave / Aplenzin XR (bupropion): Originally approved for depression and smoking cessation, this drug reduces cravings and supports weight loss when used alone or with Naltrexone.
• Apo-Naltrexone / ReVia (Naltrexone): Typically prescribed for substance use disorder. Mochi says it may help suppress appetite and is often used with bupropion in combination therapy.
• Xenical / Alli (orlistat): A lipase inhibitor that blocks fat absorption. Mochi notes this medication supports modest weight loss but may cause GI side effects and impact vitamin absorption.

Mochi Health works with some insurance plans, but it doesn’t publicly list which ones. Users can check eligibility by submitting their insurance information through Mochi’s website. A virtual medical assistant can help you understand your coverage options and assist with insurance-related steps, such as prior authorization requests when applicable.

You can pay for membership fees from Mochi Health with a health savings account (HSA) or a flexible spending account (FSA). As of publication, Mochi doesn't accept Medicaid, Medicare or TRICARE.

If your insurance plan is eligible, you may qualify for Mochi’s Wellness Plus Plan. Medication coverage may vary separately based on your plan, prescription and prior authorization requirements. A Mochi representative can explain your options.

Prescriptions from Mochi Health can take up to 10 days to arrive, though you may receive your medications sooner.

Once a provider approves a prescription, it’s sent to one of Mochi’s partner pharmacies for fulfillment. You can check your order status in the patient portal. If it shows “Order has been placed with the pharmacy,” your prescription has been approved and forwarded for processing.

Shipping delays and support

Mochi Health recommends that customers experiencing shipping issues reach out to the support team directly by calling 619-648-1247.

Mochi notes that it doesn’t have access to real-time pharmacy updates after the order has been sent. To track the shipment itself, you can create an account with the carrier, such as FedEx or UPS, to receive notifications.
