MDLIVE is a large general telehealth service for primary and urgent care, not a dedicated GLP-1 weight-loss program.

Best for: Patients who already use MDLIVE for primary care; it isn't built for comparing GLP-1 prices.

What MDLive does well

  • Established virtual primary-care service through participating health plans
  • Can prescribe FDA-approved Wegovy and Zepbound when clinically appropriate
  • Medication can be sent to your preferred pharmacy

Why readers look for an alternative

  • GLP-1s require a Primary Care Routine Care visit; urgent care and wellness screenings do not qualify
  • Medication-specific cash prices are not published
  • GLP-1 prescribing is unavailable in certain states; confirm current eligibility
  • A prescription depends on the treating physician and your health plan benefits
