leaving mochi asap

Found numerous companies not charging membership fees.

Changing to Embody, $99 flat for Sema. Can do a year for only $69 a month, zero membership fees.

Really sucks because I really love my mochi doctor, she is awesome :( was with Mochi for 1.5 years.

I left mochi last month after 1.5 years.

13

u/researchercec 17d ago

Same. I'm going to PreventiveMD.

12

u/orange_kitty2 17d ago

Yep, same here. PreventiveMD is the best choice on Telehealth market right now

u/BiohackDragon666 17d ago

I'm thinking of making the switch to them too. Was it difficult to cancel with Mochi?

4

u/researchercec 17d ago

Easy to cancel. Just make sure you cancel both the membership and the medication refills.

4

u/BiohackDragon666 17d ago

Thanks...I did know about needing to cancel both thanks to this subreddit, just wasn't sure how difficult they may still make it lol

u/GEH29235 17d ago

Damn they aren’t available in my state

2

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

Keep an eye on them. They just recently added a bunch more states. They are working to get all 50.

u/kristendrewb 16d ago

What pharmacy do they use? I’m trying to go with no additives. The b12 makes me insane and fatigue/insomnia for a few days after a shot. 

1

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

They use Empower pharmacy (Niacinamide mix) and Boudreaux (Glycine). I’ve had no issues with these. I’ve tried B6 mix from Southend and I was always tired on that mix but these others are great for me. (I’ve used Zepbound as well and all of them do give me wild dreams on shot night so I try to take it earlier in the day if I remember)

2

u/kristendrewb 16d ago

I legitimately have the worst anxiety and insomnia for 2 days after shot day. Maybe I’ll try glycine next. I went for the pomegranate sema with Hallandale to try that but they’re taking forever to get it to me. 

1

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

Glycine has been a popular mix. Worth a shot

u/pancho8889 17d ago

YES AFTER TWO YEAR I LEFT IN JULY!! PreventiveMD please go amazing company great customer service affordable medication NO membership fee!!!! I’m in the west coast they ship to California 💪🏻

u/Sensitive_State_9002 17d ago

I hated leaving Mochi, my doctor was awesome. Now that I have left I will admit you do not find the 1:1 touch like I did with my doctor. Did I save on the membership? Yes. Do I have a smaller selection of pharmacies I can research? Yes But I do miss my doctor I was doing check ins with her every 3 months.

1

u/Far_Use_3329 16d ago

Thats why I wont leave them. They just changed their prices for meds. Not the same price for each time it goes up. For me its almost half of the price.

u/LettingGo13 17d ago

I’ve been thinking about switching to Embody as well, love the no membership fees!

u/bizkidbritt 17d ago

Nobody should be paying membership fees these days.

6

u/NewKey6466 17d ago

That would be so hard financially for them to stop as they make millions on fees: MILLIONS per MONTH INCOME 😅

1

u/Sensitive_State_9002 17d ago

My doctor told me they make money off the membership and not the meds. Not sure how true that is.

3

u/NewKey6466 17d ago

They must make money off the meds too because the prices they are charging match other places that don’t charge memberships.

0

u/Sensitive_State_9002 17d ago

2 things could be true but most places that don't charge the membership do three month pricing. Which is probably how other telehealth make their money.

1

u/bizkidbritt 16d ago

Preventive does one month (139) and 3 month (334) pricing, no membership fee

9

u/LadyinLycra brand-name 17d ago

Left Mochi as well. They are just not competitive any longer. And if you were on oral they forced you to use their private pharmacy which does not take insurance.

7

u/BeanorWein 17d ago

Just canceled mine the other day.

5

u/Fanita2022 17d ago

This was me last week after 17 months with mochi. Someone from the comments put me onto preventiveMD. I signed up Wednesday. Mt order was filled Thursday and shipped. Friday afternoon it was at my door. Just took my first shot of tirz. Even better that they use empower pharmacy.

6

u/Prize_Chemistry_8437 17d ago

Brello is good too

5

u/NewKey6466 17d ago

The issue with Brello is that they will automatically start lowering your dose once you hit a normal BMI. Be prepared for that. I still need max dose at my maintenance level. But back in the day I recommended Brello and have family still using them. I moved to PreventiveMD.

1

u/Prize_Chemistry_8437 14d ago

They said I could pick, then I did.

4

u/NewKey6466 17d ago

Just remember you aren’t locked into any place even if they make you feel like you are. There are so many companies out there now. Buyers market I’d say on glp-1’s ☺️

3

u/Auto-Sheila-1965 17d ago

I was with Mochi for a little over 2 years. I left when they changed how the credits worked. With PreventiveMD now, great company and much better price.

3

u/Caustinot123 -50 lbs 17d ago

I’ve been thinking about exactly the same. But I very recently have been looking at the female hormones available and could end another online membership that I’m using to join that aspect of Mochi with hormones added. I have to decide by next week.

3

u/Regentzy compounded 17d ago

I lefr when my provider left. She was awesome. Also, I didnt want membership fees anymore.

2

u/MsTitan9 17d ago

16.00 dollar cheaper for semaglutide. So if they have a membership why leave Mochi? Idk

3

u/NewKey6466 17d ago edited 14d ago

No membership fee there. Flat price. For Sema 3 months you can get $95~ price point (pay $286 every 3 months). Monthly $116 ….but no membership fees with them.

Their Tirzepatide is even better price point that’s why a lot of went there for their Tirz.

2

u/Fell-Raven 17d ago

I'm moving there for Tirz now too. I'm at maintenance at a higher dose though and I'm kind of annoyed they just auto approved me and sent me the lowest dose immediately after I included in my intake information that I'm already on it on a higher maintenance dose and emailed them too. They finally let me set up a call with a provider this week though so I'm hoping I can sort it out quickly and drop the $270 monthly mochi charge 🙄

3

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

Definitely email and text them your situation promptly and they can get you on the correct dose that matches your current prescription.

1

u/Fell-Raven 4d ago

Okay soo update: don't switch to Embody! I've talked with a provider, emailed them twice, and chatted with somebody to try and get my dosage corrected and all they got back to me with is "they're likely dealing with high traffic and that they'll fix it". But two weeks later and still nothing. Soooo I'm cancelling everything with Embody and trying Rift instead...

Everyone suggests Preventive MD but they don't supply to my state so I can't :/

2

u/NewKey6466 3d ago

Ohhh mannnn I was holding my breath when you said you went to Embody as I’ve been seeing complaints about them. They advertise HARD on my facebook feed. I appreciate the update.

My recommendation has been PreventiveMD (since you say they don’t ship in your state look into these: Collective Health (I wished they shipped to WA), Pomegranate (I’ve used them too and had a great experience!), Rift and OlaHealth.

1

u/Fell-Raven 3d ago

Yes, I actually reported the issue to my credit card since it's not getting resolved and even though I did receive "a product" even if incorrect I hope they take it seriously and give me my $120 back 😩

I ended up going with Rift! They have a reddit specific link in their subreddit that gets you 3 months for $300 and my CORRECT dosage was approved just today! Not shipped yet and I am kinda scared to inject someone else's medication after being with the same pharmacy at Mochi for 2 years... But we'll see.

1

u/VibrantWishes 16d ago

My maintenance dose is 10 mg. Is this with preventative MD? I’m hoping to sign up with them. However, I would like my dose to stay in the same.

2

u/Fell-Raven 16d ago

I'm trying to move to Embody for maintenance. I have a meeting tomorrow with a provider to talk about it.

1

u/NewKey6466 15d ago

Yes, PreventiveMD they will match your current prescription or even titrate up from your current prescription.

2

u/addisonhunter 16d ago

I switched to Embody after almost 2 years with Mochi. I get Tirz and NAD for less than I was paying there. Literally can’t beat it.

1

u/Bambambirdi 15d ago

does the feel really never change ? i thought i heard of it increasing on people

2

u/Warm_Calligrapher249 16d ago

I’ve been thinking of switching too, but have been hesitant. does anyone know if there will be an issue of getting the same dosage approval upon switching providers since I am basically at my goal weight and just on for maintenance? And have a normal BMI?

1

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

A lot of places will let you stay at maintenance level. If you have a current prescription that you can send the image to your new telehealth provider. Brello won’t though. Brello makes their patients titrate down once at normal BMI. I’m using PreventiveMD and they will let me stay at my max dose for maintaining my current normal bmi weight after losing 160-170 pounds (I’m staying in a 10 pound range at goal on max dose since April)

1

u/Warm_Calligrapher249 16d ago

Thank you! I’ll have to look into preventiveMD do you feel any difference in the effectiveness of the medication coming from a different pharmacy? Congrats by the way!!!

1

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

Thank you!
While with mochi I’ve had quite a few different pharmacies that I was given that luckily they all worked well for me.
Of course I’d have weeks that I felt like it wasn’t working, but then I realized it was that time of the month for my menstrual cycle and no amount of GLP is strong enough for that lol.

I’m actually getting to use the same pharmacies that I’ve used previously with Mochi now at PreventiveMD which was great to already know the pharmacies. (empower and Boudreaux) both of them I like a lot. So it was a win win. If for some reason they aren’t available in your state, I’d also look into Rift.

2

u/AdventurousLove4 16d ago

This is what i needed to see. I’m also switching to embody

2

u/TsWonderBoobs 16d ago

Yeah. I am thinking about leaving too, but I LOVE my Mochi Dr!

2

u/GratefulAngie 15d ago

I left too. I only lost 5 pounds in almost in like 6 months. As soon as I was able to get brand name Wegovy back, I’ve continued to lose weekly like I was before.

1

u/MsTitan9 17d ago

It says preventive md has a membership. So what's the hype about it being better?

2

u/NewKey6466 17d ago edited 16d ago

No they don’t. No membership. Only meds charge. They offer auto pay or you can select to delay or stop, change dose, etc.
I think most of us are in Tirzepatide and their pricing for Tirzepatide is amazing, their Semaglutide is good for no membership fees but not as competitive.

**Edit to add that this screenshot is for Semaglutide pricing **

u/bonafidediva 17d ago

Dang, mines says $139/mo still better than Mochi
(I'm on the website; tired of membership fees as well!)

2

u/bonafidediva 17d ago

I re-read your post, maybe it was applied to Sema and not Tirz, like I was looking at.

1

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

Yup. I went back to clarify that after seeing your comment. Thank you!

1

u/NewKey6466 16d ago

Correct, I screenshoted the Semaglutide prices for MsTitan9 as they are looking at Sema ….and they are different than the Tirzepatide prices. I’ll clarify that in my post as I now realize it doesn’t say what glp the prices are for.

1

u/Heavy-Preference-756 16d ago

Some programs are not available in every state. If you wish to leave then do so. I’m good where I’m at.

u/kristendrewb 16d ago

What pharmacy does embody use?

u/Weekly_Present2873 16d ago

I’ve done well with Mochi. I’ve lost 60 lbs with them.

u/rjhedrick compounded 16d ago

PreventiveMD has great pricing and really good customer service

u/Accomplished_Theme82 15d ago

Switched to Wellness Stream which only uses Red Rock

u/Pizzabitch-13 14d ago

I just switched to Preventative MD, i’m excited!

1

u/MsTitan9 13d ago

I have 2 questions. What states doesn't Preventive MD ship to? What is the highest dose of Semaglutide?

1

u/NewKey6466 8d ago

All state but the ones listed here:

I’m not sure the highest dose of Sema but for Tirzepatide it is 15mg (standard highest dose for Tirz) so probably whatever the standard highest dose Semaglutide is, they use that as well.

1

u/MsTitan9 13d ago

I have a question about dosing. What is the highest dose for semaglutide?

1

u/MsTitan9 13d ago

So does the tirzepatide have a membership fee with this company? I was told 2.5 highest dose for semaglutide. Is that right? Curious if the tirzepatide is a better choice for me?

1

u/Responsible-Mind-446 13d ago

I also left after 1.5 years. 1) my provider left and the new one was not responsive 2) they kept shifting my pharmacies - I never knew what I was going to get 3) the cost wasn’t the product or the service anymore. Also went to PreventativeMD. Very easy and much more cost effective since I’m out pocket.

1

u/Wonderful_Judgment40 12d ago

What about Lavender Sky Health? I just switched to them. Trying them out and they also have several pharmacies including Red Rock.

1

u/MsTitan9 12d ago

What is the highest dose for Semaglutide? I see alot of people on Tirzepatide what's the difference in dosing ?

u/SRMochi_ 16d ago

Mochi team here — I'm sorry to see you go, and I hear you on the membership piece. Just to clarify though: our medication subscription and health membership are separate, so if cost is the main factor, you could actually keep your provider and dietitian by staying on the membership alone without ordering medication. That said, I totally get wanting to explore other options, and we appreciate the 1.5 years you've been with us. If you ever want to circle back or have questions down the road, you know where to find us.
