On May 2nd, I signed up for ************************. I was charged $447.00 immediately. The description of the program said to pay up front to lock in $75 a month fee for medication for 6 months. When I spoke with the nurse practitioner today, I was told NO, the $447 is a membership fee. I will be paying $133.00, ****** x2, and $ 255 x2 each time I am sent a prescription. This would mean I'm paying $1430.00 for 6 months of medication/program. I tried to cancel using the app, and I was only able to send a message to the nurse practitioner. She did not respond. I had to look up the customer service number. They are experiencing high call volume. I am supposed to get a call back, but, I won't hold my breath.Business Response

Dear *** or Madam:
We write in response to the above-referenced complaint.
On May 2, 2025, the customer, ***** ******, enrolled in a six-month LifeMD telehealth subscription program at a cost of $447, which calculates out to $74.50 per month for the telehealth subscription services. The subscription terms, to which *** ****** affirmatively consented, specifically stated that medication costs are not included in the program subscription fees.
Thereafter, on May 19, 2025, *** ****** met with a LifeMD affiliated telehealth provider and was advised of her options and costs for medication. *** ****** was prescribed medication, which was paid for separately, at a cost of $133. Later that same day, *** ****** requested a refund and cancellation of the subscription, as she was under the mistaken belief that medication costs were included in the subscription fees.
Per her request, *** ******* account was cancelled, and, having already met with a provider, and per our cancellation and refund policy, she was issued a partial refund of $407, as well a refund of $133 for the cost of the medication, for a total refund of $540.
Given the cancellation and refund, we consider this complaint to be resolved.

Was inquiring about sleep product. Did not complete order, because company wanted driver's license. Next thing I knew, the $78 was taken out of my account. When I called the company, they indicated that they took payment to have questions answered. I DID NOT IN ANY WAY GIVE THEM MY ****** INFORMATION, NOR WAS I DIRECTED TO MY ****** ACCOUNT! I asked for a refund and they refused saying I had to provide identification for a refund. They will not ship out sleep meds without identification, will not issue a refund without identification, but needed NO IDENTIFICATION TO TAKE MY $78 !!!!

On Nov 2, 2024, I signed up with LifeMDs weight loss program. I paid $894 for a one year subscription which gave me access to a physician/NP network which provided monthly monitoring and prescriptions for a weight loss medication (which costs an additional $300 monthly). The last few months, medications have been taking longer to receive, and currently I am still waiting on a refill that was requested on Apr. 20. I have contacted the company several times through their patient portal, only to be told each time that it is in review or in process, that it has been expedited, etc. I was advised to contact a physician's or NP with any concerns, and have tried that route as well, only to get doctor does not exist or cannot complete your requestplease try again later messages. I would like a refund of my subscription cost of $894 due to LifeMDs breech of contract and failure to provide promised services.Business Response

Dear *** or Madam:
We write in response to the above-referenced complaint.
The customer, ******* *******, enrolled in a twelve-month LifeMD telehealth subscription program on November 02, 2024. The subscription terms to which *** ******* affirmatively consented specifically state that medication costs are not included in the subscription fees.
Thereafter, *** ******* met virtually with a LifeMD affiliated ********** provider and was prescribed medication. *** ******* medication was refilled and delivered on a monthly cadence from November 20, 2024 through March 28, 2025.
Unfortunately, due to recent *** changes with the particular medication prescribed, we experienced a backorder of the medication in April, and *** ******* medication was not able to be refilled and delivered. *** ******* was not charged for the April refill.
However, our records show that *** ******** most recent prescription was delivered on May 24, 2025.
Given the fulfillment of the prescription, we consider this complaint to be resolved.

I cancelled my subscription with LifeMd back in February due to it just being too expensive. I tried to use my ***** insurance to try and see if there were any other benefits my carrier could apply. However, today, I get a notification that my account had been drafted $387 for LifeMD. I am LIVID! I cancelled the subscription months ago and got hit with an unexpected and unsolicited charge. I referred so many people to this company, just to turn around and be screwed. I want a refund of my full $387! And maybe, when someone selects to cancel their membership, you cancel it the first time.Business Response

Complaint ID: ********
Dear *** or Madam:
We write in response to the above-referenced complaint.
The customer, ***** ****, enrolled in a recurring three-month LifeMD telehealth subscription program on July 21, 2024, which would result in renewals being billed every three months at a cost of $387.
*** **** subscription renewed on October 21, 2024.
Our records show that on January 17, 2025, 4 days prior to the three-month renewal billing, *** **** placed her account on a 30 day pause, which resulted in her renewal billing being delayed until February 16, 2025. On February 16, 2025, *** **** account was billed for the three-month renewal period.
On May 16, 2025 at 9:30am, *** **** was billed $387 for the three-month renewal period.
Upon account research, we can see that on May 16, 2025 at 5:50 pm, *** **** downgraded her account to ******************** ********* for $0 a month.
As a courtesy, *** **** was refunded $387 on May 20, 2025, for the May renewal fees.
LifeMD Patient Relations staff has attempted to reach *** **** by phone and support messages, but have been unsuccessful.
Given the refund of $387, we consider this complaint to be resolved.

5/11/25 Ordered medication after consultation with online ************** through options and chose the one year subscription because of lower price. Nowhere did I read that the entire one year subscription cost would be billed at one time. When I received the invoice I immediately contacted the online physician to cancel my order and she replied:Not a problem. **************** can assist you.I reached out to the phone number for customer support but no one answered the phone due to training that all staff were participating in. I emailed the support email that I wanted to cancel my order. No response was received.5/12/25 No one answered the phone until the next day. In the meantime I again sent an email to their support email to cancel my order.When I was able to connect with a representative via phone, they informed me that because it was an order placed online they were unable to modify it or cancel it. He told me that I was informed of that in the user agreement which I signed. I did not see any user agreement and did not agree to this condition of my order. At the time my order was being processed and had not been filled. So it made no sense for me to be unable to cancel or modify my order. They also have only online ordering available and no physical store,.5/I2/25 I received an email from the company that my cancellation request has been processed and I would receive no further shipments. I received an email from the company that they had placed a hold on my order at my request. 5/13/25 On this date I received a notification that my order was being fulfilled and the $432.00 had been charged. The order I was sent was for one month but I was charged for the entire year subscription.I received the one month supply but the entire year subscription ()$432.00) was charged to my account. I would like my charge amount refunded except for the one month supply I have received.Business Response

I was charged approximately $1200 from October 2024 to February 2025 for prescription ***** medication that I did not receive. I attempted to request medication refills without any communication.

Complaint ********
Dear *** or Madam:
We write in response to the above-referenced complaint.
The customer, ****** *****, enrolled in a ******************** subscription telehealth program on June 19, 2024, at a cost of $299 per month for access to telehealth services and medication. At the time of enrollment in the program, the customer affirmatively consented to enrollment in a subscription program, which would include monthly renewals.
Thereafter, ******** met with LifeMD affiliated ********** providers and was prescribed medication. *** ****** first prescription was delivered on July 6, 2024, which was subsequently refilled and delivered July 25, August 27, September 19 and October 19.
On May 14, 2025, *** ***** contacted the LifeMD *********** requesting a refund as she had not received her medication. *** ***** was made aware that "we can confirm that your prescription renewal from October 13 was indeed shipped and delivered to you via ***** with tracking number ************ on Saturday, October 19. Beyond that, it's important to note that while your monthly membership payment is automatic, you need to request your medication each month as part of your active enrollment in the program by completing renewal surveys or scheduling appointments with providers. If you do not request medication for a given month, your membership still stands and is charged, as it covers access to the services provided, even if they are not properly utilized. Since your membership has already been canceled, you are no longer eligible to receive medications from the program."
On May 15, 2025 *** ***** was refunded for 4 months (November, December, January and February) of membership, totaling $1196 which was credited back to the card on file.
Given the billing resolution and refunds provided, we consider this complaint to be resolved.

I was recently laid off from work and no longer had employer-sponsored insurance and enrolled in a marketplace plan to continue my ***** ******** medications. I was advised by ****** that my plan does not cover Zepbound injectors. My PCP advised I should look for discount options for 15mg Zepbound dosage. During my search for coverage, I found LifeMD online that markets they will prescribe Zepbound injectors for diabetes (no health insurance required and no surprise pricing). On 04/24/25, I proceeded the 'see if treatment is right for me' questions for the weight management program and was hit with the $335.25 charge. It was a flag that they would ask for payment before I spoke with a doctor, but I was guaranteed a refund if I cancel the membership. I was still hesitant, but I scheduled the virtual appointment on 05/13/25 with *** ********* *******. At the beginning of the conversation, I was advised that Zepbound is not covered by my insurance (I knew that already!), so he suggests that I should start with ******* instead. He asked what pharmacy is near me and he will call in the prescription for $10 per month. At that point, I was asking too many questions and told him that I need to consult with my PCP before I change from Zepbound to *******. After lots of questions, he says I should continue with my PCP and he will submit a request a full refund of the $335.25 that I paid upfront. I agreed and we ended our call. I received an email on 05/15/25 showing my refund was processed for only $287.25. I call customer support and spoke with ******** who advised that I was being charged $40 for the phone call and $8 for an insurance report. I expressed by concerns that the charges do not appear to be in the spirit of fairness and good faith. The company should advise before making the money back guarantee on the website, that you will be charged for a phone call and an insurance report. The doctor agreed to a full refund and LifeMD should do the right thing.Business Response
