  • What is equal health's cancellation policy?
    Membership and Non-Membership Services: If you cancel your Equal Health subscription before your virtual visit and before receiving your prescription medication, you will receive a full refund within, less any payment processing fees, a reasonable time after cancelation. Membership Services (including weight management): membership services are based on a 3-month term (“Term”) that begins at the time of your virtual visit. Cancellation of your membership must occur prior to your virtual visit and before process and receipt of your 3-month prescription medication*. If you choose to cancel after your virtual visit, you will still be responsible for the full Term of membership services. While you may cancel at any time, your request will not take effect until after the expiration of your current Term. While your membership plan is still active, you will have continued access to all membership services included in your membership plan. *3-month prescription medication means a 90-day supply of medication or a 30-day supply of medication with 2 refills. For Weight Management membership services: partial refunds are provided (minus an initial consultation fee of $55 and any applicable payment processing fees) after the first virtual visit if your health insurance does not cover Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro weight management medications.
