I have been a subscriber with LifeMD for about 7 months and for 3 of those months I have had significant challenges in getting my medication. The only way you can communicate is via written communication in their portal so theres already a built in delay to get info. And because of the manner of communication youre always talking to different people, so no continuity. Last month it took almost a whole month to get resolution to the issue partially because they had a different reason for my delayed prescription with every communication! Once we had gone round & round several times, they told me I had to meet with a provider how about you tell me that 3 weeks ago when I first reached out?? This month long delay also came about 3 & 1/2 weeks before my 6 month auto renewal. Honestly, it felt like the delay was intentional to assure I didnt cancel my subscription & therefore my auto renewal paymentThis month, my prescription is a week overdue and when I reached out today I was told I have to complete a form that isnt on my portal!! They usually email that form to me but this month they did not!! They also said they need my insurance WHICH IS RIGHT THERE & has been the entire time!!!The rules and processes seem to change every time I have to interact with them. Its very frustrating & poor, inconsistent care!!Business Response

I paid $20 for a telehealth visit regarding a middle ear infection. I provided an otoscope video of my ear for the appointment so I could receive the proper medication. After accepting my payment, I was informed I needed to visit an office in-person, even though their site states they can treat ear infections and I provided a video of the same quality that would be taken at an in-person appointment. As I received no care, instructions, advice or medication, I requested a refund of my $20 in principle. They clearly couldnt provide a service that was advertised. They have declined to refund me as they state they did complete the visit.Business Response

Very Disappointed and Concerned.I was charged $75 for a LifeMD membership and have been trying to get a refund ever since with no success. There is no one available to speak to directly, and the phone number listed keep says no provider is available at the moment and you have the option together a call back. Eventually, a recording promises a callback that never happens.I also tried to cancel an appointment scheduled for July 5, 2025, which I booked on June 27, 2025. (Today is June 28, 2025) The system wont allow me to cancel, claiming the provider has already "joined the call" which is impossible. This seems like either a serious system error or a deliberate tactic to prevent cancellations and keep the $75.This experience has left me feeling like Ive been scammed. I cant recommend LifeMD to anyone. Their lack of customer service, shady billing practices, and inability to resolve even basic issues are unacceptable.I will continue to seek a refund and report this experience to relevant consumer protection agencies.Business Response

On the 28th August 2025 I requested a meeting with a doctor to discuss availability and cost of weight loss medication. I had the meeting on the 29th August 2025 and after the meeting I concluded the cost was too high for the potential benefit and decided not to move ahead. I was charged $290.25 for this meeting.I was not aware on agreeing to this meeting I was also agreeing to a membership and was not aware that I would be continuously charged for this membership. I did not want a membership. As I result I was charged 3 consequtive times;2024-11-28 . Invoice Number: ********.

My complaint is that I was not made aware of agreeing to a meeting with a Doctor to discuss potential usage of weight loss drugs meant I was being signed up to membership where I would be paying $387 every 3 months. I did not want that. I was told I should of cancelled. But how can I cancel something I was not aware of, not told about and being charged for something I did not agree to.

Dear *** or Madam:
We write in response to the above-referenced complaint.
The customer, ****** ******, enrolled in a **************************** telehealth subscription program on August 28, 2024, at a discounted cost of $290.25, a 25%discount off the full price of $387. At the time of enrollment in the program, *** ****** affirmatively consented to enrollment in a subscription program, which would result in renewal fees every three months.
Thereafter, on August 29, 2024, *** ****** met virtually with a LifeMD affiliated provider.
LifeMD has no record of a cancellation request from *** ******. Subsequently, *** ******* membership renewed every three months at a cost of $387 on November 28, 2024, February 28, 2025, and May 28, 2025.
On June 24, 2025, *** ****** contacted LifeMD and spoke with a supervisor. During this conversation *** ****** was advised of the terms and conditions which he agreed to at the time of enrollment.
All LifeMD patients must agree to the terms and conditions prior to the transaction being placed and finalized. The option to read these terms and conditions is readily available to read through in its entirety,before checking off I agree.

I have been attempting to get a refill of my medication from LifeMD since June 9th. On June 9th, my app would not allow me to request a refill as I was told it would. On June 14th I reached out after trying for 5 days to refill my medication and suddenly a renewal survey was available after I messaged LifeMD. After completing the survey on the 15th, 6 days later I reached out on the 21st of June because I still did not have a refill after attempting to get one for now 12 days. It is then on June 21st that I was advised I need an appointment in order to renew my medication but the app would not let me schedule an appointment and said we couldnt complete your request. I then decided to call LifeMD customer service where I was advised that the earliest appointment is July 9th which would put me at a 2.5 week lapse in medication. I asked to speak to a manager and was told they were busy and would call me within an hour. However, I never received a call back from anyone at LifeMD. I should have been advised on June 9th when I originally inquired about refilling my medication that I needed an appointment especially since LifeMD falsely advertises 24/7 access to a doctor when the reality is a 2+ week wait to speak to a doctor. I was then advised in the LifeMD messaging portal that I was going to be contacted by the medical team for an urgent appointment within 24 hours of the message on 6/22/2025 at 4:46 PM EST. I did not hear from anyone at LifeMD until 6/24/2025 at 3:00 PM EST - nearly 48 hours later. They advised they moved my appointment to July 4th which still causes a 2 week lapse in my medication.The medications prescribed by LifeMD such as Wegovy are not designed or approved to be used in an intermittent or stop-and-start fashion.Therefore, LifeMD is a negligent provider who is forcing their patients to use medications in a way they are not supposed to be. I want a full refund of the money I have spent on my LifeMD membership in the amount of $894.00.Business Response

Re: BBB Case #********
Dear *** or Madam:
We write in response to the above-referenced complaint.
The customer, ****** *********, enrolled in a ******************** subscription telehealth program on November 24, 2025.
Thereafter, *** ********* met virtually with a LifeMD affiliated ********** provider and was prescribed medication.
On June 9, 2025, *** ********* experienced significant frustration and delays in attempting to renew her prescription. Seeking assistance, *** ********* contacted LifeMD on June 14, 2025.
Upon notification, LifeMD promptly intervened by manually initiating the renewal process, which allowed *** ********* to complete and submit her renewal questionnaire. However, a subsequent review by her provider determined that a follow-up appointment was a prerequisite for the prescription renewal to proceed.
*** ********* completed the necessary appointment, and the prescription was successfully renewed on June 26th, 2025.
On June 28, 2025, *** ********* informed LifeMD that her pharmacy had mentioned a prior authorization was needed for her prescription order.
On June 30, 2025, LifeMD submitted a prior authorization to ************************ provider. Regrettably, on July 1, 2025, LifeMD notified *** ********* that the prior authorization was denied by her insurance provider. *** ********* was also informed that insurance policies and criteria can change unexpectedly, even within short timeframes.
LifeMD was able to get *** ********* an earlier appointment,which took place on July 3, 2025. With the completion of the telehealth appointment a medication order was submitted to the pharmacy.
As of July 8, 2025, *** ********** medication order has been sent to the shipping facility for shipment and delivery. The tracking information attached to *** ********** medication order is 469698209263.
Given the above stated facts and the fulfillment of the medication, we considered this complaint resolved.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:The business has been the worst company I have ever worked with. The customer service is terrible and it is consistently one issue after another. Now that my insurance no longer covers the medication I was being prescribed by LifeMD and picking up at my local pharmacy, I have switched to LifeMDs compounded version of the medication. Last week I received the first vial and after one dose, half the vial is empty which indicates to me that they did not send me a full vial. Per the Vial, it is 4.5 ML, meaning I should have 4.5 doses as each dose is only 1 ML or 100 units. When I reached out to LifeMD, they are again unhelpful and claim that if I want the appropriate amount of medication, I need to purchase another $255 vial. So now, Ill run out of medication prior to the 4 week **** after paying for a 4 month supply. That will make this my THIRD lapse in medication because of LifeMD. I have had two lapses in medication in the past couple months - both due to negligence on LifeMDs behalf. GLP-1 medications are not intended and do not have the intended effect if not taken consistently. This is factual information that is both shown by research and I was told this by a provider at LifeMD. I would like a refund of my full membership so that I can take my money elsewhere and work with a company that values its customers.

The customer, ******* *****, enrolled in a ******************** subscription telehealth program on December 10, 2023.
*** ***** has contacted LifeMD via phone and the Patient Portal for a status of his medication. *** ***** was advised that he needed to renewal process in order to fulfil his latest his prescription. On multiple occasions, *** ***** was sent messages reminding him to complete the renewal process. The messages were as follows: "The requirement to update your Health Profile, including re-adding medications, is part of our renewal process to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of your treatment. This allows us to review your current health status and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. To make this process easier for you, I can guide you through updating your profile if you're having any difficulties. Is there a specific part of the update that you're finding challenging? I'm here to help streamline this process for you as much as possible. Also, I noticed your renewal survey for *********** is currently incomplete. Completing this survey is crucial for continuing your treatment. Would you like me to walk you through that as well?"
During the phone calls with our *********** team which were held in order to address the information that LifeMD needed to move forward with the patients medications, as well as updating *** ***** on the status of his RX being filled, *** ***** was verbally abusive to our staff. After multiple instances (as recent as June 3, 2025) where *** ***** name called and used inappropriate language toward LifeMD *********** staff, *** ******* account was closed by our Executive Team and a full refund was processed.
LifeMD aims to provide stellar service to each of our patients, as well as keep our staff safe. In this instance, we felt it was best that *** ***** be removed from the platform as we were not able to assist him in the manner he expected.
Given the fulfillment account cancellation and refund provided, we consider this complaint resolved.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved. My Comments: I had renewed the prescription 3 times but Life MD does not have doctors available for 45 days to hold online meetings to resubscribe. I found an new vendor and had the product in 4 days. Something is not going well at Life MD and I was glad to get a refund of my prepaid prescription. My "verbal abuse" is not so, it is telling them their process is broken! They do not listen to the issue of once you have a 30 prescripton and renew it will take 45 days to get an appointment, thus you are out of product for at least two weeks before it is refilled. See the issue their lead time is because they do not have doctors to meet the requirements of their programs. When you only read call scripts and do not write down the problem and try to solve it then you will lose long-term customers like myself. Good Luck to LIFE MD your model is broken.

The business gets you to sign up for 6 months of service and makes you think you are getting a good deal because you would be able to get 6 doctor visitations of 1 per month which you have to do in order to get your medication. Where the problem comes in is that they don't have enough physicians to to see the patients and you may have to wait 2 months to get to see a doctor before you can get your medicine. Any company that charges by the month should have enough staff on hand to handle the new customers they are taking on. I made my last appointment back in mid April and it was scheduled for June 5th. I made this appointment in my 6 month window. Now they are telling me I have to pay them another $749 if I want to be able to keep this appointment. That seems criminal to me. If you make an appointment in your 6 month window you should not have to pay more money for them to honor that appointment. This to me is the same as a restaurant advertising all you can eat buffet and when you go in the restaurant they have no food out for anybody to eat. They advertise that refills are simple and online which is not true because you have to actually have a video consultation with a doctor or nurse practitioner. They also do not tell you that they only have 1 nurse practitioner for the entire state of *********** which is why it takes so long to be able to speak with somebody. They should disclose up front before you join that there are very long wait times due to only having 1 nurse practitioner. I have waited 7 weeks for this appointment on 06/05/25 and they send me an email saying if I want to keep that appointment I will have to pay them $749.00 more dollars. That seems like extortion to me. Since my appointment was made in the 6 month window that I had previously paid for I should not have to pay them more money for that appointment that I have already paid for. They need to also not false advertise simple quick refills because it is anything but that.Customer Answer

I purchased a 1-year subscription/membership with LifeMD. For the first couple of months, customer service was fantastic. I was receiving excellent care, prescriptions were filled promptly without me having to ask, and any messages I sent were typically responded to within 24 business hours. However, in the last 3 months, this has drastically changed. I have to message the care team multiples times, call customer service, and wait DAYS for a response. The last two times I have needed refills, I have had to practically beg the provider that I am paying out of pocket for, to do their job. Per LifeMDs website, the membership with LifeMD includes same-day prescription refills along with 24/7 access to healthcare providers. I have been trying for days to make an appointment and LifeMD will not allow me to do so. My prescription was never refilled on time and was refilled incorrectly a day late with no prior authorization for a dose increase as it should have been. Therefore, my pharmacy is still unable to fill my prescription 6 days later and LifeMD will not provide the prior authorization despite me calling and messaging multiple times with no response and my pharmacy attempting to contact LifeMD as well. I am now 6 days into of being off medication due to LifeMDs negligence and lack of care. They are falsely advertising care that they do not deliver to patients paying hundreds of dollars for. I want the year that I paid for reimbursed in full as I have not been given the care or services I was told I would be provided as advertised on their website.Customer Answer
