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

Pros

  • Publishes cash prices dose by dose, which no other provider on this site does. Zepbound KwikPen is $299/mo at 2.5mg, $398 at 5mg, $499 at 7.5mg and $698 at 10-15mg, so you can see exactly what titrating up will cost before you start
  • The same detail applies across the range: Wegovy pill $149/mo (1.5mg, 4mg) or $299 (9mg, 25mg); Wegovy pen $199 for the first two months for new patients then $349; Foundayo from $149 to $349 depending on dose (checked July 27, 2026)
  • Every medication offered is FDA-approved and branded - no compounded product is involved
  • Insurance is accepted, and with coverage medication can drop to as low as $25/mo
  • The care programme itself - video visits, dedicated provider, labs and messaging - starts at $59/mo
  • Efficacy milestones are properly sourced, citing a study of injectable semaglutide 2.4mg with the population spelled out (BMI 30+, or 27+ with a weight-related condition, non-diabetic) and paired with lifestyle change
  • A full refund is available if you cancel at least three hours before your first visit
  • The wider marketplace lets you compare individual providers on price, with appointments from $37

Cons

  • The $59/mo headline depends on a 12-month 'Success by Sesame' commitment, and the annual fee is explicitly non-refundable once paid - cancel in month two and you do not get the remaining ten months back
  • Medication costs are not included in the programme price, which Sesame states plainly but which means the real monthly outlay is the subscription plus the drug
  • Cash prices escalate steeply with dose. Zepbound more than doubles from $299 to $698 as you titrate to a maintenance dose, so the entry price is not the price you will end up paying
  • The Wegovy pen intro rate of $199 applies to new patients only and for two months, after which it is $349
  • Monthly subscribers are not refunded for months already paid, even if unused
  • Because pricing depends on insurance status, pharmacy and dose, there is no single figure you can plan around before signing up
  • This is a general healthcare marketplace, so the weight-loss programme sits alongside urgent care and prescription refills rather than being a dedicated speciality service
