Embody Review 2026: Pricing, Pharmacies and Refund Policy
Embody names its prescriber network (OpenLoop Health) and the four U.S. compounding pharmacies that fill its orders, and sells compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide (not FDA-approved) in one-, three-, six- and 12-month supplies. It suits people who want the prescriber and the pharmacy named up front and a price the FAQ says stays the same while you remain on the same medication.

What stands out
Strengths
- The storefront lists one-, three-, six- and 12-month totals for semaglutide, from a $79 one-month sale price (regular $299) up to $828 for 12 months.
- The terms name the prescriber network (OpenLoop Health) and four U.S. compounding pharmacies, with street addresses.
- Embody says your price does not change when your dose changes within the same medication.
- Chart review is “expected” within 24 hours, and its FAQ says approved orders ship next day in temperature-controlled packaging.
- The contact page says the care team is available 24/7 at (347) 269-4270.
Good to know
- The terms (updated April 24, 2026) describe $99-then-$299 and $199 flat programs, and do not mention the $79 or $129 sale prices.
- The first month is charged at checkout, before you complete the medical intake.
- The refund policy says “ALL PAYMENTS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE,” and multi-month plans are not refundable in part.
- A medical disqualification refunds the “unused portion” of the term, after deducting services already provided.
- Disputes go to binding arbitration with a class-action waiver, and the opt-out window is 30 days.
Our verdict
Is Embody worth considering?
Embody names who prescribes and who compounds, lists one-, three-, six- and 12-month totals on its storefront, and says a chart review is expected within 24 hours with next-day shipping after approval. Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved. Prices differ between the storefront, the promotional pages and the terms, and payments are final once made, so get your second-month price and billing date in writing before checkout. Worth a look if you want the prescriber and the pharmacies named and you are comfortable paying up front.
A good fit for
- Readers who want the prescriber and the pharmacies named before paying
- People comfortable with an online, message-based process and paying up front
- Anyone outside Louisiana who wants next-day shipping after approval
Might not fit if
- Anyone who wants to use insurance — Embody’s affiliated medical entities are not contracted with health plans
- Anyone who wants room to change their mind after paying — payments are final, with a 72-hour cancellation cutoff before the next billing date
- Anyone in Louisiana — Embody says it serves every state except Louisiana
How Embody works
Take the health qualifier
The company says the qualifier “should only take 5 minutes,” after which you choose semaglutide or tirzepatide.
Pay for the first month
Payment is taken at checkout, before the medical intake, per the company’s sign-up steps.
Complete the medical intake
You finish the intake in the patient portal, and an OpenLoop Health practitioner reviews your chart, “expected” within 24 hours.
Medication ships
If a prescription is written, a partner pharmacy ships it next-day; the FAQ says orders received before 2 pm Central ship the same day.
Refills and dose reviews
When you run low, you message your doctor in the portal, who will “review your dosage, adjust it if needed, and write you a new prescription.”
Embody pricing
On Embody’s storefront, a one-month supply of compounded semaglutide has a “Regular price $299.00” and a sale price of $79, labeled “SAVE $220.” Tirzepatide has a regular price of $349 and a sale price of $129. The homepage advertises the sale figures as semaglutide “starting at $79/month” and tirzepatide “starting at $129/month.” You pay at checkout, before the medical intake, and the homepage FAQ says your price “remains the same each month as long as you’re on the same medication and treatment plan.”
Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide are not FDA-approved. The FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are marketed.

Where Embody’s own numbers disagree
| Official page | Semaglutide | Tirzepatide |
|---|---|---|
| Homepage and storefront | $79 for one month (“Regular” $299) | $129 for one month (“Regular” $349) |
| Promo page exclusivev6tirz.joinem.co | “$79/month” as “Flat locked in monthly pricing” | “$129/month” |
| Promo page exclusive.joinem.co | “$69/month” flat, beside a “Price increases in” countdown | “$119/month” |
| Terms: Start Program | $99 for month 1, then $299/month | $149 for month 1, then $399/month |
| Terms: Flat Program | $199/month; $169, $159 or $149 a month on 3-, 6- or 12-month bundles | Semaglutide price “+$100/month” |
The terms also say “The final charge may vary based on the prescribed medication and the selected pharmacy,” and that support will notify you of any variance. They do not mention $79 or $129, and the storefront does not say which program a $79 order belongs to. Before paying, ask support in writing for the amount and date of your second charge.
Other costs: the homepage lists “No membership or hidden fees” and “HSA/FSA Approved.” The terms say Embody’s affiliated medical entities are not contracted with any health insurance plans.

Medications offered
Embody sells three compounded products: semaglutide injections, tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP) injections, and a “Compounded Semaglutide Gum One Month Supply” listed at $229. It does not list brand-name Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound or Mounjaro, and it offers no tablets.
Compounded drugs are not FDA-approved, and the FDA does not review them for safety, effectiveness or quality before they reach patients. Embody’s safety page says the same: compounded drugs “are not FDA-approved and do not undergo safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review.” Product pages add that final medication and dosing are decided by your provider.
The safety page lists a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, and MEN 2, as contraindications, and warns against use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. BMI thresholds are not published.
Who prescribes and who compounds
Embody is the consumer brand of Modern Metabolic Medicine, Inc., a Delaware corporation at 1811 Silverside Road, Suite 260, Wilmington, according to its terms. The terms print the ZIP code as 19180; the BBB lists 19810. The BBB also lists the names SnagRx and RodeoMeds and a business start date of December 19, 2025. The site names no founders or executives.
Prescribing is handled by “OpenLoop Health, a network of US-licensed doctors,” whose clinicians, the terms say, retain the decision to prescribe. Modern Metabolic Medicine says it “does not manufacture, dispense, or control the formulation of any medications prescribed.” Its FAQ says prescriptions are dispensed by “U.S.-based 503A compounding pharmacies,” and the terms list four, with addresses:
- Red Rock Compounding Pharmacy, St. George, Utah
- Health Warehouse, Florence, Kentucky
- Precision Medicine, Bellmore, New York
- Triad Rx, Daphne, Alabama
The site does not say which of the four fills a given order. The homepage displays a LegitScript seal, and the promotional FAQ says Embody “maintains LegitScript certification”; LegitScript’s public lookup requires a CAPTCHA, so we could not confirm it. We found no FDA warning letter naming the company.
Availability, labs, speed and follow-up
Embody’s promotional FAQ says it “currently provides services to all US States except Louisiana” and that in Nebraska services are limited to patients 19 or older. The terms are less specific: services are available to people “located in certain states,” and customers should contact support for the current list. Product pages add that the program “may not be available in all states.”
The review is asynchronous: a practitioner is “expected to review your chart within 24 hrs and often less than 5 hrs.” The refund policy mentions “a live or asynchronous consultation,” so a live visit may happen in some cases; the site does not say when. Lab requirements are not published, although the refund policy lists lab results and lab services among services that can count as used.
Shipping is included. The FAQ says prescriptions received “before 2 pm central time will be shipped the same day,” next-day by UPS, though the terms say the company “does not guarantee delivery timelines.” Follow-up runs through the portal: when you run low, your doctor reviews the dose and writes a new prescription. Care coaching is optional and free, and the contact page says the care team “is available 24/7” at (347) 269-4270 and support@joinem.co.
Cancellation and refunds
The refund policy was last updated August 25, 2026. Its central line is:
“ALL PAYMENTS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE.”
- Multi-month plans are “A SINGLE, INDIVISIBLE PURCHASE” and non-refundable “IN WHOLE AND IN PART.”
- If a provider finds you clinically ineligible, you receive “a refund for any unused portion of the amount paid for the then-current term.” Used portions include a consultation, a provider review, issued prescriptions, shipped medication and lab services.
- “Medications are non-returnable and non-refundable under all circumstances.”
- Damaged or incorrect items are replaced by the pharmacy: “Replacement is the sole remedy; no refund will be issued.”
- Cancellation requests “must be received at least 72 hours prior to your next billing date” to stop that charge.
The site is not fully consistent: the homepage FAQ says you may cancel “at any time before your next medication shipment,” while the refund policy and terms set the 72-hour cutoff before the billing date. The terms also require binding arbitration and waive class actions, with an opt-out “within 30 days” of agreeing to them.
Because a provider review counts as a used service, a declined applicant may not get the full first payment back. Ask support how much is refunded on disqualification.
What customers and the BBB report
| Source | What it shows (September 16, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Trustpilot | 3.8 out of 5 from 7,793 reviews (7,756 in the last 12 months); 62% five-star, 23% one-star. Profile claimed in February 2026; the company “Replied to 99% of negative reviews” and “May use AI-assist with replies.” |
| Better Business Bureau | Rating F, not accredited, file opened May 5, 2026. Rating reasons: 68 complaints filed and a failure to respond to 17. The complaints tab shows 44 complaints closed in the last 12 months. |
| Recurring praise | Straightforward onboarding, attentive providers, affordable pricing, quick intake. |
| Recurring complaints | Delivery delays; refunds refused even when orders did not arrive; contradictory support answers; charges before medication arrives; reports of incorrect doses shipped. |
The two BBB counts differ (68 in the rating reasons, 44 closed in the past year on the complaints tab); both are shown as published. We found no FDA warning letter naming Modern Metabolic Medicine. Complaints cluster around delivery and refunds, where Embody’s policy leaves the least room.

- Which pricing program does my order fall under, and what is the exact amount and date of my second charge?
- Which of the four pharmacies will fill my prescription?
- If a provider declines me, how much of my first payment is refunded?
- Will I need labs or a live video visit in my state?
- What is the cancellation cutoff before my next billing date, and how do I get written confirmation?

How Embody measures up
The same six criteria for every clinic, each tied to the facts above.
| Criterion | What we found |
|---|---|
| Clinical oversight & pharmacy transparencyWe look for: A named prescriber and pharmacy, 503A/503B status, compounding and FDA disclosures, a physical address | Names OpenLoop Health as its prescriber network and four 503A pharmacies with street addresses, and publishes compounding disclosures; no clinicians or leadership are named, and its LegitScript seal could not be confirmed because the public lookup requires a CAPTCHA. |
| Pricing clarityWe look for: A recurring price and billing interval you can find before paying, extra fees, price by dose | The storefront lists $299 and $349 regular one-month prices, on sale for $79 and $129, plus 3-, 6- and 12-month totals; a promo page advertises $69 and $119 “flat” pricing, and the terms describe $99-then-$299 and $199 programs with no $79 tier. |
| Medication optionsWe look for: A range of clearly described treatment options | Compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide injections and a compounded semaglutide gum (none FDA-approved); no brand-name or tablet options. |
| Access & logisticsWe look for: A published state list, lab requirements, review time, shipping and follow-up | All states except Louisiana (19 and older in Nebraska), chart review expected within 24 hours and next-day shipping; labs are not addressed, and payment is taken before the medical intake. |
| Cancellation & refund termsWe look for: Refunds if a clinician declines you, refund windows, cancellation timing, arbitration clauses | Payments are final and multi-month plans non-refundable; a medical disqualification refunds only the unused portion; damaged items are replaced, not refunded; binding arbitration with a 30-day opt-out. |
| Reputation signalsWe look for: BBB and Trustpilot records, complaint volume and the themes that recur | BBB rating F, with 68 complaints and a failure to respond to 17; Trustpilot 3.8 from 7,793 reviews, 23% of them one-star. |
