MDLive
Patients who already use MDLIVE for primary care; it isn't built for comparing GLP-1 prices.
Reasons to consider it
- 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
What to weigh up
- 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
TeleHealth Med
Shoppers willing to run the intake selector before seeing a price — public pricing isn't published.
Reasons to consider it
- Publishes the FDA compounded-medication disclaimer and displays a LegitScript verification badge with a working verification link
- Offers both injectable and sublingual (oral) forms of compounded GLP-1 — a real formulation choice most competitors don't have
- Georgia corporate entity (TeleHealth Med, Inc.) is named, giving clearer legal accountability
What to weigh up
- No price appears on its site; you'll see one only after picking a medication and state in its signup flow
- A $147/mo semaglutide price quoted elsewhere isn't shown on its site now, so confirm the current rate
- The site doesn't name a pharmacy partner or medical director, or list the states it serves
