GLP-1 telehealth in Mississippi: exclusions plus a video-visit rule
Mississippi is doubly restricted: Noom Med and SkinnyRx exclude Mississippi for compounded GLP-1s, and providers that do serve the state face stricter telehealth rules — MEDVi requires a live video visit with a provider before prescribing in Mississippi (its async-form flow doesn't apply here). Branded, FDA-approved routes work statewide.

What we'd do in Mississippi
Since Mississippi forces a video visit for most surviving compounded options anyway, Mochi's model (video visit standard, ~$178/month all-in, cancel anytime) loses nothing here — but so does simply asking a prescriber for the FDA-approved pills at $149–199/month, which skip both the gray zone and the premium.
