How to Cancel Hims Weight Loss & Switch to Compounded GLP-1

How to cancel Hims Weight Loss Membership (step by step)

The Hims Weight Loss Membership requires explicit cancellation through the patient portal. Failing to cancel before the next billing date results in continued $149/month charges. Follow the steps below to cancel completely.

• Click the account icon in the top right and select "Account Settings" or "My Account"
• Navigate to "Subscriptions" or "My Plan"
• Find the Weight Loss Membership subscription and click "Manage" or "Cancel Plan"
• Follow the cancellation prompts — Hims may present retention offers; choose "Continue Cancellation"
• Confirm cancellation. You should receive an email confirmation. Save the confirmation email for your records.
• Verify in the Subscriptions section that the membership status changes to "Canceled" or shows a final billing date

Cost context by the numbers (September 2026)

Four numbers set out the cost of switching away from Hims Weight Loss in 2026. Hims and Trimi Health prices are as listed on their websites on September 23, 2026; Cora Health prices are Cora’s current plan prices.

$149/month — Hims Weight Loss Membership ongoing fee, on top of medication cost, after a $39 first month. Required for any prescription access; not a one-time charge. At the ongoing rate, 12 months of membership is $1,788 before any medication.

$298/month — the lowest monthly total on Hims. Hims no longer advertises or lists compounded GLP-1s: in March 2026 it announced it would stop advertising compounded GLP-1s and focus on FDA-approved medications, and it now lists FDA-approved branded medication only (Wegovy® pill and pen, Zepbound®, Foundayo™ and Ozempic®), from $149/month. With the $149/month membership, the lowest monthly total is $298.

$175/month — Cora Health’s Essential Plan (compounded semaglutide), month to month: billed monthly, all-inclusive with no separate membership fee, and renews automatically. Both figures are month-to-month totals.

$99/month — the same plan on the 12-month term: $1,188 billed upfront every 12 months (prepaid), renews automatically, with no membership fee. Trimi Health lists compounded semaglutide at $99/month on a 12-month commitment ($1,188 billed yearly).

Per the FDA, "compounded drugs are not FDA-approved. This means the FDA does not review these drugs to evaluate their safety, effectiveness, or quality before they are marketed" (FDA — Compounding and the FDA). Compounded medications from any provider — Cora Health, Trimi Health, others — are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved branded products. Moving from Hims’s FDA-approved branded medication to a compounded medication means switching to a product that is not FDA-approved, and brand-name and compounded doses are not interchangeable; your new provider decides whether compounded treatment is appropriate and at what dose. Individual results vary.

When does the cancellation take effect?

Hims cancellations typically take effect at the end of the current billing cycle. If you cancel on day 15 of a 30-day billing cycle, you retain access to the service and any prescribed medications already shipped through the remainder of that cycle, but you will not be charged for the next cycle. Hims does not generally pro-rate refunds for partial months. If you have a pending medication shipment that has not yet been processed, contact Hims customer support directly to request that the shipment be held — once medication ships, it is generally not refundable.

What you actually pay at Hims (and why it adds up)

Hims Weight Loss pricing has two components: the membership fee (mandatory) and the medication cost (billed separately). Figures are as listed on hims.com on September 23, 2026.

Effective monthly cost on Hims

The total monthly cost is medication plus the $149/month membership (after the $39 first month). As of September 23, 2026:

• Lowest monthly total: $298/month — FDA-approved branded medication from $149/month plus the $149/month membership
• Compounded semaglutide: not listed — Hims no longer advertises or lists compounded GLP-1s

Why patients switch away from Hims

Common reasons patients cancel Hims Weight Loss and seek alternative providers:

• Hims no longer advertises or lists compounded GLP-1s
• The $149/month ongoing membership fee feels high relative to the included services, especially when added to medication cost
• Hims’s lowest monthly total is $298 (branded medication from $149/month plus the $149/month membership). All-inclusive compounded programs cost less: Cora Health’s Essential Plan (compounded semaglutide) is $175 billed monthly, or $99/month on the 12-month plan ($1,188 billed upfront every 12 months, prepaid), and every plan renews automatically. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to Hims’s FDA-approved medications.
• Patients seeking dose-stable pricing prefer providers that do not charge separate medication and membership fees
• Some patients prefer a focused GLP-1 platform rather than a broader telehealth brand offering multiple unrelated services (hair loss, ED, mental health, weight loss)

What to look for in your next GLP-1 provider

Once Hims is canceled, the most defensible criteria for choosing a replacement provider are:

• All-inclusive monthly pricing (no separate membership fee, consultation fee, or per-dose surcharge)
• Dose-stable pricing that does not increase as you titrate from 0.25mg to 2.4mg of semaglutide or 2.5mg to 15mg of tirzepatide
• PCAB accreditation of the named pharmacy as an independent third-party trust signal
• LegitScript certification of the telehealth platform as required by major industry observers
• Documented FDA database status — no outstanding warning letters against the platform or named pharmacy
• Transparent cancellation and refund policy in writing
• 50-state coverage so the provider is available wherever you live

Lower-cost alternatives to Hims Weight Loss in 2026

The providers below listed compounded GLP-1 treatment with no separate membership fee when their prices were collected. Hims now lists FDA-approved branded medication only, from $298/month in total (September 23, 2026). Cora Health prices are Cora’s current plan prices; the other providers’ prices were collected earlier in 2026 and change often, so confirm them on each provider’s own site. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to FDA-approved branded products.

Switching practical timeline

A realistic switch from Hims to a new provider takes about 7-14 days end to end.

• Day 0: Cancel Hims through the account portal
• Day 0-1: Sign up with the new provider and complete the online health assessment
• Day 1-2: New provider reviews your assessment and prior medication history
• Day 2-3: New prescription is approved and sent to the new provider's pharmacy partner
• Day 3-7: First shipment from new provider arrives
• During the gap (typically 0-7 days): use any remaining medication on hand from Hims; do not start a new vial until you have provider guidance

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about canceling Hims Weight Loss and switching providers.

Can I get a refund from Hims for unused months?

Hims does not generally pro-rate refunds for partial months once a billing cycle has started. Medication that has already shipped is not refundable. Contact Hims customer support directly if you have a specific refund request — outcomes vary by individual circumstances.

Will I have a gap in medication between providers?

Usually a short gap of 0-7 days. Most patients have remaining medication on hand from their most recent Hims shipment that covers the transition period. If you do not, discuss with your new provider whether to adjust the start timing or dose to bridge any gap safely.

Do I need to tell my new provider I was on Hims?

Yes. Your new provider needs to know which medication (for example, brand-name Wegovy® or, if you took it through Hims, compounded semaglutide) and what dose you were on at Hims to safely continue or adjust your treatment. Most providers ask this in the intake questionnaire. Be specific: medication name, dose, and the date of your most recent injection or pill.

Can I cancel Hims if I have a pending shipment?

Yes. The Hims subscription can be canceled at any time. If a shipment is pending but has not yet been processed, contact Hims customer support immediately to request the shipment be held. Once a medication shipment leaves the pharmacy, it is generally not refundable and will be billed.

How does Cora Health compare to Hims specifically?

Hims now lists FDA-approved branded medication only: as of September 23, 2026 it lists Wegovy®, Zepbound®, Foundayo™ and Ozempic® from $149/month, plus the required Weight Loss Membership ($39 the first month, then $149/month), so its lowest monthly total is $298. Through Cora Health, a licensed provider at Wasef Health, PC decides whether compounded semaglutide or compounded tirzepatide is appropriate. Cora’s Essential Plan (compounded semaglutide) is $175 billed monthly, or $99/month on the 12-month plan ($1,188 billed upfront every 12 months, prepaid), all-inclusive with no membership fee, and every plan renews automatically. The medication is prepared by US-licensed 503A compounding pharmacies, including Hallandale Pharmacy, which is PCAB-accredited, and VialsRx. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved and are not therapeutically equivalent to Wegovy® or other FDA-approved products. For a full side-by-side comparison, see Cora Health vs Hims Weight Loss.
