Short answer
Maximus scores 7.2/10 (#16 of 39 clinics). We rate it Best for Fertility-Friendly TRT. Maximus lists $99.99/mo on a 12-month plan (6 months for injections or cream) that can't be ended early; $199.99 month to month. That is what it charges today, but its own page never says whether the rate holds. We looked for a sentence confirming it rises, or confirming it doesn't, and there is neither. Treat it as unconfirmed rather than fixed, and ask before you give a card.

Questions to ask Maximus at intake
Each one is here because Maximus’s pages left it open when we read them.
- How do I cancel, and is anything refunded if I stop partway through a plan? We didn't find Maximus's cancellation terms on the pages we read.
- Is the medication included in this price, or billed separately? We didn't find a statement of what the price covers.
- How do I reach a clinician between visits, and how fast do they reply? We didn't find a published support or messaging commitment.

FDA warning letter on file
Maximus Health, Inc. dba Maximus. MARCS-CMS 730095, issued 2026-06-08 by the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER).
FDA states it reviewed maximustribe.com (FDA Establishment Identifier 3032037948) in May 2026 and found the site offering compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide products with claims ("Clinically studied ingredients," "Clinically studied to help patients…," "Proven to lose weight effectively", and "FDA approved pharmacies") that FDA alleges falsely imply the compounded product is FDA-approved-equivalent when it is not. FDA states this makes the products misbranded under FDCA sections 502(a) and 502(bb) [21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a), 352(bb)]. Same template as the Hims/Strut/SkinnyRx letters on our sister site. Concerns Maximus' compounded-GLP-1 marketing (it also sells weight-loss medication through the same account), not its TRT program specifically.
This is an allegation in FDA's opening enforcement communication. Not an adjudicated finding of wrongdoing. See the full picture across every clinic we track →

Better Business Bureau
B+ rating · not BBB accredited · 7 complaints filed (checked 2026-10-12)
Two BBB filings at the same Santa Monica address, neither accredited: "Maximus Tribe" rated B-, with 19 complaints in 3 years (15 in the last 12 months), and "Maximus Health, Inc" rated B+, with 7 (4 in the last 12 months), the entity named on the FDA letter. Read together, 26 complaints in 3 years; the repeated theme is being charged before or without service (an incomplete sign-up, a failed ID check or a denied prescription). No BBB alert shown. Re-read 2026-10-12: unchanged; both filings link maximustribe.com. The "Maximus Tribe" filing: BBB profile
Pharmacy partner
Maximus does not name the specific pharmacy that fills or compounds its medications (checked maximustribe.com, its Terms of Use and support.maximustribe.com, 2026-10-11). That is the norm for this category, not unusual for Maximus specifically. Most providers we've checked don't name one either. No TRT pharmacy is named. The site says "LegitScript-certified USA pharmacies" without naming one; LegitScript's checker needs a reCAPTCHA, so the claim is unverified.
HIPAA disclosure
Not found. Checked 2026-10-11. The privacy policy (Maximus Health, Inc., 2219 Main Street, #347, Santa Monica) contains no HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices, and we found none elsewhere on the pages read.

How Maximus works
- 1. Online intake. Complete a medical questionnaire about your symptoms and health history. Our list of the signs of low testosterone shows what the questions cover.
- 2. Bloodwork. Because testosterone is a Schedule III controlled substance, you'll do lab testing (at-home kit or a local lab). Never a questionnaire-only prescription.
- 3. Clinician review & delivery. A licensed clinician reviews your labs and, if appropriate, prescribes treatment shipped discreetly to your door, with ongoing monitoring.
Our guide to getting TRT online legally covers each step, including the state rules that decide which clinics can treat you.
