MEDVi Cancellation Policy: How to Cancel, Refund Rules, and the 72-Hour Rule
Last verified: · Weight Loss Provider Guide Research Team · Editorial standards · Affiliate disclosure
Bottom line
The MEDVi cancellation policy lets you cancel anytime, but the rule that decides whether you get charged again is strict and easy to miss. Email [email protected] — and use your patient portal chat — at least 72 hours before your next billing date. Standard cancellations do not get refunded under MEDVi's published policy. The clearest stated refund path is medical disqualification by a MEDVi clinician. The “lose weight or your money back” guarantee exists but has specific eligibility requirements. Use the free tools below to calculate your exact deadline, generate the cancellation email, and check your refund eligibility.

What is the MEDVi cancellation policy?
The 72-hour rule, decoded
72 hours doesn't mean “by midnight before.” It means three full days before your billing date. If your billing day is Friday, your cancellation has to be received by Tuesday — not sent.
That distinction trips people up. Email gets stuck in spam folders. Portal chats sit unattended on weekends. “I sent it Wednesday at 11pm” doesn't count if MEDVi processes it Thursday morning.
Our recommendation: cancel 5 calendar days before your billing date, not 3. That gives you buffer for delivery delays, time to follow up if you don't get a confirmation, and room to escalate if something breaks. The 72-hour rule is MEDVi's stated minimum. Five days is the safer minimum.
How to find your billing date
Log into your MEDVi patient portal and look for your subscription or billing details. If you can't find it or can't access your account, check your MEDVi confirmation emails and contact support directly. Don't assume your billing day is the same calendar day you signed up — it isn't, because of how MEDVi's 28-day renewal cycle works.
MEDVi auto-renews every 28 days, not every calendar month
MEDVi's customer support page confirms membership renews automatically every 28 days, not on a fixed monthly schedule. That works out to roughly 13 cycles per year, not 12. Your billing date moves about 2–3 days earlier each month — January 15 becomes February 12, then March 12, then April 9. If you're trying to cancel in month 4, the day you originally signed up is no longer your current billing date. Always check the portal or your most recent confirmation email for the live date.
What “no contract” actually means
MEDVi's marketing says “no contract.” That's true — you're not locked into a multi-month commitment. But “no contract” doesn't mean “refund anytime.” It means you can stop future billing without a cancellation penalty if you hit the 72-hour window. Once a cycle is paid for, that money is generally not coming back unless you fall under one of the two narrow exceptions covered next.
Will MEDVi refund me if I cancel?
The line that catches most people sits in MEDVi's policy in capital letters: refunds will not be issued upon cancellation of subscription services, with limited exceptions. Translation: changing your mind doesn't get your money back. Side effects don't fit the standard refund category (though they may trigger clinician-determined medical disqualification, which does — see below). Financial hardship doesn't. The medication “not working in the first month” doesn't.
This is genuinely strict. We're not going to soften it.
The two stated exceptions
Exception 1 — Medical disqualification
If a MEDVi clinician determines you don't medically qualify for the medication after you've been charged, MEDVi's policy describes this as the main refund path. The exact amount should be confirmed in writing because the policy describes it both as a full refund and as a refund for the remainder of subscription service charges following disqualification. If a provider tells you you're not eligible, ask for the disqualification date and get it confirmed by email before you cancel.
Exception 2 — The weight-loss money-back guarantee
MEDVi advertises “lose weight or your money back.” It's real. The detailed terms — commonly summarized as requiring 5 continuous months of program adherence, refunding only the most recent billing cycle, and deducting a 25% consultation fee — are reported by ConsumerAffairs and consistent with the structure of MEDVi's published refund policy. But these specific mechanics should be verified with MEDVi support before you rely on them.
What about damaged or wrong medication?
If your medication arrives damaged, the wrong drug, or the wrong dose, MEDVi's policy says the pharmacy will replace it (not refund it) once you provide evidence of damage. Photograph everything before contacting support — the box, the packaging, the temperature indicator if there is one, the vial or tablets, the label, and the shipping label. Email photos to [email protected] the same day. Don't use damaged medication; ask a clinician how to proceed.
Why the policy is structured this way
MEDVi's published policy says federal law generally prohibits returning prescription medications to pharmacies for refund or reuse once they have been ordered to a patient. This isn't unique to MEDVi — it's a general pharmacy regulation. So even if MEDVi wanted to issue a refund on shipped medication, the medication itself can't be returned to stock.
The “no refund on standard cancellation” clause exists because the cost of the subscription is largely the medication itself, not just the platform service. Once the medication is in production or shipped for your cycle, the cost is committed.
How does MEDVi's money-back guarantee actually work?
Here's what consumer reporting consistently says about the structure:
- ▸Eligibility: 5 continuous months of documented program adherence — filling refill forms on time, following the dosing schedule, attending check-ins or messaging providers, completing required intake or labs.
- ▸Documentation required: Weight logs in your portal showing minimal change. Adherence records showing you actually followed the program. Gaps disqualify you.
- ▸Refund amount: 75% of the most recent billing cycle. Not all 5 months. Just the latest cycle, minus the 25% consultation fee.
- ▸How to claim: Email [email protected] with subject “5-month money-back guarantee refund request.” Include your account email, start date, and adherence summary.
Is the guarantee worth chasing?
Honest answer: only if you've genuinely given the program 5 months and have documented results showing minimal change. The guarantee isn't a satisfaction trial. It's a “this medication didn't work for me after a fair attempt” insurance policy.
Important fine print: Customer reports across ConsumerAffairs and Reddit indicate that some applicants have been denied because their weight “fluctuated” by a small amount during the 5 months — even if they ended at roughly the same starting weight. Log your weight consistently, and final weight needs to demonstrate “no significant weight loss” by MEDVi's standard.
Confirm the terms before you sign up. Take a screenshot of the guarantee language at checkout and on MEDVi's current pages.

How do I cancel MEDVi? The 5-step process
Use the email generator in the toolkit above for a properly-formatted request. Or use the template below:
The cancellation email template
Subject: Cancel MEDVi subscription — [your account email]
Hello MEDVi Support,
Please cancel my MEDVi subscription effective immediately and stop all future billing.
- - Name: [Full name]
- - Account email: [Email used at signup]
- - Phone: [Phone on file]
- - Next billing date shown in my portal: [Date]
Please reply in writing confirming the cancellation date and that no future subscription charges will be processed.
Thank you.
Don't over-explain. Don't justify. The shorter and more documentary the email, the easier it is for MEDVi to process and the easier it is for you to reference later.
The 5-step process
Find your billing date
Log into your MEDVi patient portal. Screenshot the billing date and your active subscription status.
Send the cancellation email
Use the template above. Send it to [email protected] from the email address associated with your account. Save a copy in your sent folder.
Send a backup via portal chat
In the patient portal, use the chat feature → send the same cancellation request. Screenshot the chat.
Confirm by phone (optional but smart)
Call MEDVi support, reference your email and chat, ask for written confirmation by email. Document the call: date, time, representative name if given.
Save everything and monitor
Folder of: sent email, portal chat screenshot, phone call notes, any reply emails. Set a calendar reminder to check your bank statement the day after what would have been your next billing date — and again 28 days after that.
What if I'm already inside the 72-hour window?
Cancel anyway. Today. Right now.
Yes, you'll likely be charged for the next cycle. Yes, that medication will probably ship anyway. But cancelling immediately starts the clock on stopping the cycle after that one. If you wait, the problem compounds.

Can you cancel a MEDVi order after it has been processed?
Before the order is processed
Cancellation is straightforward. No medication has been ordered, no telehealth fee, no shipping cost.
After the order is processed but before shipping
Cancellation is still possible, but a telehealth fee may apply per MEDVi's support documentation. The exact fee amount isn't published; ask MEDVi support directly.
After the medication has shipped
The medication is yours. Federal pharmacy regulations (cited in MEDVi's policy) prevent the medication from being returned to pharmacy stock for refund or reuse. You can cancel future cycles, but the shipped cycle is final.
The stage that hurts: if you cancel after order processing but the medication hasn't shipped yet — and you didn't realize a telehealth fee applies. Ask MEDVi support to confirm whether your order has reached the pharmacy or shipped before assuming the refund situation.
What happens after I cancel MEDVi?
For the rest of your current cycle
- ✓ Medication for the current cycle may still ship if it was already ordered (you're entitled to use it)
- ✓ You can continue messaging providers
- ✓ Subscription services continue per MEDVi's policy
Going forward
- ✕ No new automatic charges
- ✕ No new medication orders for future cycles
- ▸ Account access details after cycle end vary; confirm with support
Should I request data deletion?
Cancelling stops billing and active service. It doesn't automatically delete your medical records. If you want your records purged, follow MEDVi's privacy policy and applicable state and federal health-record rules. Email [email protected] with subject “Data deletion request — [your account email]” to start the process. Medical record retention requirements may legally require MEDVi to keep some records for several years.
Can I re-enroll later?
Re-enrollment is generally available, but the terms — including whether the original $179 first-month promotional rate is still available — should be confirmed with MEDVi support. Pricing at the time of re-enrollment applies.
What if MEDVi charged me after I cancelled? The escalation playbook
First, separate two scenarios:
Scenario A — You cancelled inside the 72-hour window. MEDVi's policy says the next charge processes; that's policy-consistent, not an error. The cycle after that is when you stop being billed.
Scenario B — You cancelled before the 72-hour window with proof, and were still charged. Now you have a real dispute. Here's the playbook.
Step 1: Internal escalation (same day as the charge)
Reply to your original cancellation email — don't start a new thread. Subject: “REFUND REQUIRED — Charged after cancellation [date].”
Include:
- ▸ Original cancellation request timestamp
- ▸ Charge amount and date
- ▸ Screenshots of original email and any confirmations
- ▸ Demand: immediate refund and written confirmation no further charges will process
Step 2: Phone confirmation (same day)
Call MEDVi support. Reference your written escalation. Document the call.
Step 3: Credit card chargeback (if no resolution in 5 business days)
Call your credit card issuer. File a “subscription cancelled but charged” or “services not as described” dispute. Most issuers resolve within 30–60 days. Provide your documentation packet.
If you used a debit card instead of credit, your chargeback protections are weaker — file the dispute anyway. Going forward, use a credit card for any subscription with auto-renewal.
Step 4: External complaints (parallel track)
Don't wait for the chargeback to resolve before filing these:
- ▸Better Business Bureau: bbb.org → file complaint against MEDVi LLC
- ▸State Attorney General: consumer protection division of your state AG
- ▸Federal Trade Commission: reportfraud.ftc.gov
What you should NOT do
Don't email MEDVi 50 times. Don't escalate to social media before giving internal escalation a fair shot (5 business days). Don't lie or exaggerate — your documentation is your asset. Don't threaten legal action you can't back up. Calm, documented, persistent.
Is MEDVi an auto-renewing subscription?
If you sign up for MEDVi, treat your billing date as a recurring calendar event for as long as you're enrolled. The most common preventable complaint we found across the review corpus: customers who didn't realize the program auto-renews. The terms make it clear. The marketing emphasizes “no contract.” Both things can be true at once.
Read the terms before you sign up. If you're already enrolled, the calendar reminder is the single most important habit you can build.
What should I screenshot before paying or cancelling MEDVi?
Before enrolling
- ✓Checkout price (intro vs ongoing)
- ✓Renewal price clearly stated
- ✓Billing frequency (28-day cycle confirmation)
- ✓Full cancellation policy text (URL + screenshot)
- ✓Refund policy text
- ✓Guarantee terms (full text, not marketing claim)
- ✓Medication type and route
- ✓Pharmacy or compounding source disclosure
Before cancelling
- ✓Account email confirmation in your patient portal
- ✓Next billing date
- ✓Active subscription status
- ✓Cancellation email (sent folder + screenshot)
- ✓Portal chat (full screenshot, not just a snippet)
- ✓Confirmation reply (when it arrives)
- ✓Refill status — was next cycle's medication ordered?
- ✓Shipment status
What real MEDVi customers say about cancellation
The gap between platforms reflects who reviews on each — happy customers tend to leave Trustpilot reviews, problem-resolution seekers tend to find ConsumerAffairs.
Positive reviews mention
- ✓ Quick approval (often within 24 hours)
- ✓ Responsive providers via 24/7 messaging
- ✓ Medication arrives as expected
- ✓ Personal results from patients who give the program a fair trial
Friction reviews describe
- ▸ Needing to “keep a paper trail” when cancelling
- ▸ Charges that processed after attempted cancellation
- ▸ Difficulty reaching support during peak times
- ▸ Surprise at the no-refund clause from people who didn't read the policy
Takeaway: The policy itself isn't deceptive. The friction is real and predictable. Documentation prevents the most common version of the dispute. This page exists so you can be prepared.
Common MEDVi cancellation mistakes
Cancelling within the 72-hour window
Single biggest cause of 'I cancelled but was charged' complaints.
Fix: 5-day buffer reminder.
Cancelling from the wrong email
MEDVi can't process cancellation it can't match to your account.
Fix: Confirm your account email in the portal first, then send from that address.
Portal-only cancellation, no email backup
Some customers submit only through portal chat and assume that's sufficient.
Fix: Send email AND use portal chat, screenshot both.
Not screenshotting confirmations
Without documentation, dispute resolution is much harder.
Fix: Screenshot every step — sent email, portal chat, any reply, account status change.
Waiting to see if MEDVi 'actually charges'
The charge processes automatically; waiting compounds the problem.
Fix: Cancel BEFORE the cycle, dispute IF charged.
Confusing MEDVi with MEDvidi
MEDVi (medvi.org) is GLP-1 weight loss. MEDvidi (medvidi.com) is a separate mental health telehealth company.
Fix: Confirm you're at medvi.org before contacting either company.
Should I cancel MEDVi or stay? An honest decision framework
Question 1: Is the medication working for you?
If you're inside the first month or two and the medication doesn't seem to be doing much yet, that's typically too early to judge. If you're past month 4–5 with documented adherence and no measurable progress, the money-back guarantee is your exit lever — but only if you've logged your weights consistently.
If side effects are making treatment unsafe for you, message your MEDVi clinician before changing or discontinuing medication. Provider-determined medical disqualification is the main stated refund path, and that path exists for situations like this.
Question 2: Can you sustain the monthly cost for 12+ months?
GLP-1 treatment is typically a long-term protocol. According to MEDVi's public GLP page:
- ▸ Compounded semaglutide injections: $179 first month, $299 ongoing
- ▸ GLP-1 tablets: starting at $249
- ▸ Brand-name Wegovy and Zepbound paths: $99 membership plus medication cost (availability subject to change)
HSA/FSA funds extend your runway if you have them.
Question 3: Is there a better-fit alternative for your situation?
If insurance might cover branded Wegovy or Zepbound → Ro is the better path. Ro carries Zepbound®, Foundayo™, and includes insurance concierge support. Get started for $39, then as low as $74/month with annual plan paid upfront.
If you want a broader self-pay platform → Eden is our broad-default recommendation.
If you want oral, sublingual, or needle-free options → SHED specializes in compounded oral and alternative-format options.
When staying is the right call
- ✓ The medication is working
- ✓ The cost is sustainable
- ✓ No clearly better-fit alternative
When cancelling is the right call
- ▸ Medication isn't working after 4+ months with documented adherence
- ▸ Side effects make continued treatment unsafe (talk to a clinician first)
- ▸ Financial situation has changed
- ▸ You've identified a clearly better alternative
The honest tradeoff, plainly
MEDVi does NOT have the most refund-flexible cancellation policy in GLP-1 telehealth. If your top priority is being able to cancel mid-month and get your money back, MEDVi isn't built for that. But because MEDVi runs lean on refund overhead, they keep prices among the lowest in the category. $179 first month for compounded semaglutide is one of the cheapest entry points anywhere. The savings on a multi-month course often exceed what most providers' refund policies could ever return. The trade is real, and it works for most patients who go in with full information.

When MEDVi's structure is fine for you
- ✓ You're committed to giving the medication 4–5+ months of fair trial
- ✓ You're financially comfortable with the monthly commitment
- ✓ You can set and keep a billing-date reminder
- ✓ You understand cash-pay compounded GLP-1 isn't a 30-day try-and-return product
When you should look elsewhere
- ▸ You want try-it-for-a-month flexibility → MEDVi's structure won't give you that
- ▸ You want FDA-approved branded medication with insurance support → Ro is the right path
- ▸ You want broader self-pay flexibility → Eden is our broad default
- ▸ You want oral or sublingual GLP-1 → SHED specializes in this
A note on compounded GLP-1 medications
MEDVi also offers FDA-approved branded options. MEDVi's public GLP page lists Wegovy and Zepbound paths at $99 membership plus medication cost, with availability subject to change. Some third-party sources currently report inconsistencies on branded tirzepatide availability through MEDVi — confirm live availability at MEDVi's checkout.
FDA regulatory context
On February 20, 2026, the FDA issued a warning letter to MEDVi regarding marketing claims for compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products. The letter was part of a broader March 2026 FDA action targeting 30 telehealth companies on compounded GLP-1 marketing. The FDA's concerns focused on website claims, not medication safety or program structure.
