MEDvidi: the $195 figure is a per-visit consultation fee, not a month of treatment - the medication is billed separately.

Medications

Pros

✓Consultation pricing is published in full: $195 for the introductory consultation, $159 for a follow-up, and $249 for a package of both - a $105 saving on buying them separately
✓No membership or hidden fees
✓Insurance coverage assistance is offered even though the consultations themselves are cash-pay
✓An established telehealth practice with a real clinical operation behind it rather than a single-product weight-loss funnel
✓A BMI calculator is provided on the weight-loss page
✓The consultation model means you are paying for clinician time rather than a bundled subscription you have to remember to cancel
✓States plainly that obtaining an online prescription requires a consultation with a healthcare provider who determines whether medication is appropriate

Cons

✗The consultation fee does not include medication. $195 buys the assessment and a prescription if appropriate; the drug is a separate cost you cannot work out from the site
✗$195 for an introductory visit is expensive next to QuickMD at $99 or Doctronic at $39
✗MEDvidi is primarily a mental-health telehealth company, and weight loss is a newer service line rather than its core competence
✗It does not state whether the GLP-1 prescribed is brand-name or compounded
✗No pharmacy, fulfilment or shipping arrangement is described
✗Follow-up consultations at $159 each add up quickly on a medication that needs regular titration
✗No published refund policy, HSA/FSA guidance or state list on the weight-loss page

Medications

semaglutidetirzepatideliraglutide

Pros

✓Accepts insurance, which almost nothing else on this site does. Most in-network patients pay a copay of $30 or less for a visit
✓Membership is $19.99/month with the first month free, and there is no minimum commitment
✓Prescribes only FDA-approved medications - Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical - so no compounded product is involved
✓Care comes from board-certified primary care physicians rather than an asynchronous questionnaire review
✓A full refund is offered if the doctor is unable to treat you
✓Membership includes far more than weight care: 24/7 urgent care video visits, mental health support, discounted lab tests and free memberships for family
✓An in-app prescription discount card and HSA/FSA eligibility can reduce medication costs further
✓The site is candid that GLP-1s 'usually cost about $1000 per month out of pocket' and advises checking insurance coverage first, rather than hiding the real figure

Cons

✗The $19.99 membership buys access, not medication. Without insurance coverage the GLP-1 itself can run about $1,000 a month, which PlushCare states openly but which makes the headline price misleading if read as a treatment cost
✗Visits are charged on top of membership - $129 for an initial visit without in-network insurance
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.4 out of 5 across 2,735 reviews, the weakest score of any established provider we have reviewed here
✗Prescriptions are explicitly at the doctor's discretion, so paying for membership and a visit does not guarantee you leave with a GLP-1
✗This is a general telehealth service, so the weight-loss programme has less dedicated structure - no built-in coaching, food tracking or dose-titration support
✗Medication and lab costs are excluded from every advertised price, so your real monthly outlay depends entirely on your insurer
✗Contrave is offered as a $99 cash-pay alternative, but the cash cost of the GLP-1s themselves is not published
✗If you have no insurance and want a GLP-1, this route is likely to cost far more than the compounded providers listed elsewhere on this site
