What is the FMMeds process?
Choose the therapy required, click on ‘Get Started’ and respond to a brief set of medical questions. Our team of US-based doctors will thoroughly review your provided information and prescribe medications as necessary. Expect to receive feedback from one of our doctors within approximately 24 hours. In certain States, a video consultation or live chat will be necessary. If so, one of our doctors will reach out to you to conduct and finalize your consultation using the required method.
How much does the program cost?
Our program is designed to offer the best value by considering the amount of medication you’ll be taking. We provide a cost-benefit structure that makes your journey to better health more affordable. Additionally, the longer you commit to the program, the better your monthly pricing will be, leading to enhanced effectiveness in your weight loss efforts. For detailed pricing information tailored to your specific needs, please start your journey with us and take our brief assessment!
Does the price of medications increase?
We understand that medication costs can be a concern. While other providers may offer fixed prices for doses—often at a higher cost—our pricing structure is designed to be more adaptable and cost-efficient. We offer varied pricing options tailored to fit your specific needs, which can help ensure you receive the best value for your treatment. This means that as your requirements change, your costs may be adjusted accordingly. Our goal is to make your health journey as affordable as possible. If you have any questions about our pricing, feel free to reach out for more details!
Do longer plans include the dosage I will be prescribed?
Yes, our longer plans automatically incorporate any dosage that you will be prescribed. This means that whether you need a lower or higher dose, your plan is designed to accommodate your specific treatment needs at no additional cost. By choosing a longer plan, you gain access to tailored medication options while enjoying the convenience of a consistent prescription management approach.
How does the medication delivery and doctor consultation process differ between the 3-month and 6-month plans?
For our 3-month plan, all medications are shipped together at the start, offering convenience and reducing the need for multiple shipments. In contrast, the 6-month plan includes a scheduled doctor consultation after the first 3 months to assess your progress and adjust the medication if necessary. Following this consultation, the next set of medications is shipped, ensuring the treatment remains tailored to your evolving needs.
I have a previous prescription from another weight-loss company, can I start at a higher dose?
If you have an existing prescription from another weight-loss provider, our clinician may assess your situation and decide that it’s suitable to begin your dosage at the same level as your previous prescription, as long as it has been no more than two weeks since your last injection.
Will I get charged if I don't qualify for medication?
No, you will not be charged if you do not qualify. We process payment after you complete the pre-qualification intake quiz and choose your medication preference. If the doctor determines you are ineligible, you will receive a full refund.
Other
Can I use my health insurance?
We do not accept insurance because we believe that access to quality care should not be contingent upon a third party’s decisions. At FMMEDS, we have eliminated the obstacles that traditional insurers can create, offering you transparency and convenience instead. Our prices for doctor consultations and medications are competitive and often more affordable than those provided through insurance.
Is it legal to prescribe medications online?
Yes. Each doctor you interact with is licensed to prescribe medicine and treat patients in the state you live in. This allows you to get the medications you need, on your schedule, hassle-free.
Can I use my local pharmacy?
Yes. You can choose to use your local pharmacy and our doctors can send your prescription to them. However, the cheapest pricing and most convenient option will be through FMMeds’s network of affiliated pharmacies. We cannot guarantee drug pricing at your local pharmacy.
