Mochi Health just lowered the cost of its compounded GLP-1 medications<\/a> while adding a new lab-testing service designed to help patients track key health markers during treatment.<\/p>\n

The telehealth platform recently announced a new dose-based pricing structure<\/a> for compounded semaglutide and compounded tirzepatide, along with the launch of Mochi Labs, an integrated blood-testing service.<\/p>\n

For people exploring GLP-1 weight-loss treatment<\/a>, the updates address two common concerns: affordability and ongoing medical monitoring.<\/p>\n

Mochi Health lowers starting prices for compounded GLP-1 medications<\/p>\n

Under Mochi Health’s new pricing model, compounded semaglutide now starts at $60 per month<\/a>, while compounded tirzepatide starts at $90 per month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The company says pricing is now tied to dosage levels, which could benefit many new patients who begin treatment on lower introductory doses before gradually increasing over time.<\/p>\n

According to Mochi Health, no dose costs more than previous pricing, and many options are now available at lower monthly rates.<\/p>\n

Patients who enroll begin with a live, 30-minute virtual appointment with a licensed healthcare provider before receiving any prescription recommendation. Membership plans start at $79 for the first month<\/a> and include the first month for free, along with unlimited provider visits, direct messaging and access to healthcare professionals. Medication costs are separate from membership fees.<\/p>\n

Mochi Labs adds integrated blood testing<\/p>\n

Alongside the pricing change, Mochi Health launched Mochi Labs<\/a>, a new service that allows patients to order and manage bloodwork through the same platform used for their care.<\/p>\n

Patients can request testing through the Mochi portal, visit a participating laboratory location and receive results within their account, according to the company.<\/p>\n

Lab testing starts at $26 for the company’s core health panel. That panel includes:<\/p>\n

Comprehensive metabolic testing<\/p>\n

Additional testing options include GLP-1 monitoring panels, women’s health panels, men’s health panels and broader health assessments.<\/p>\n

The company says providers can use lab results to help monitor factors such as metabolic health, thyroid function and nutritional markers throughout treatment and make adjustments when appropriate.<\/p>\n

Medication costs are separate from membership fees, membership plans start at $49 when billed annually.<\/p>\n

Why this matters for GLP-1 patients<\/p>\n

As GLP-1 medications continue to gain popularity for weight management, many patients have been looking for options that balance cost with clinical oversight.<\/p>\n

Mochi Health’s latest updates<\/a> reflect the growing demand for both. Lower entry-level pricing may make treatment more accessible for patients starting their weight loss journey, while integrated lab testing could provide additional insight into how treatment is affecting their overall health.<\/p>\n

The laboratory service is available in most states, though Mochi Health says it is not currently offered in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island or Hawaii.<\/p>\n

For now, compounded semaglutide<\/a> and compounded tirzepatide<\/a> remain the company’s primary treatment offerings.<\/p>\n
