Who VirtualCare2Go may suit
Texas residents who want one all-inclusive monthly price with consultation, medication and shipping in it.
Where the value is
- Three all-inclusive monthly tiers: compounded semaglutide at $279, semaglutide tablets at $599 and an injection tier at $629, each with consultation, medication and shipping
- The tablet tier offers semaglutide tablets in 3, 7, 14 or 21 mg strengths, and the injection tier includes a prescription pen or vial
- A stand-alone $99.99 consult-only option exists for shoppers who want to fill the prescription at their own pharmacy
- No contracts on any tier
The tradeoffs
- Only serves patients in Texas for now, per its own FAQ
- The $629 injection tier charges the same for semaglutide, liraglutide or tirzepatide and says the drug you get depends on current supply, so you can't choose tirzepatide or know whether it's a brand-name pen
- No LegitScript badge shown on the site
- No pharmacy, prescriber, or medical director named anywhere
VirtualCare2Go's weight-loss tiers
VirtualCare2Go is a telehealth practice from the Dallas-Fort Worth area that also runs in-person urgent care clinics. It prices weight-loss treatment as all-inclusive monthly tiers, each covering the consultation, a month of medication and shipping:
| Tier | What's included | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Weight Loss Compounded | Compounded semaglutide in a vial | $279/mo |
| Weight Loss Tablets | Oral semaglutide, 3 to 21 mg tablets | $599/mo |
| Weight Loss Injections | Semaglutide, liraglutide or tirzepatide, as a pen or vial | $629/mo |
The $629 injection tier charges the same for all three drugs, and the medication you get depends on what's in supply. If you specifically want tirzepatide, confirm before you book that it's available and that $629 is the price.
There are no contracts, you don't need insurance, and none of these tiers can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement.
Considering VirtualCare2Go?
Check the plan total, billing period and cancellation terms before you enroll. A clinician decides whether treatment is appropriate.
Consultation only
If you'd rather fill the prescription at a local pharmacy, you can book a weight-loss consultation alone for $99.99. The provider sends the prescription to the pharmacy you choose, and you pay that pharmacy for the medication, so the total depends on where you fill it and whether your insurance covers the drug there.
VirtualCare2Go also sells a membership at $167 a month, billed annually. It includes monthly in-clinic preventive and urgent care visits at its affiliated family medicine and urgent care clinic, so it's mainly useful if you live near one.
How visits work
Visits are by video through Zoom, and same-day consultations are available seven days a week. Getting started is free. You're charged only when you book and confirm a visit, and you get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead.
The provider builds a treatment plan and follows up with ongoing monitoring. VirtualCare2Go doesn't name the prescribing provider for weight loss, its medical director, or the pharmacy that fills its all-inclusive tiers.
Before you book
- Ask whether VirtualCare2Go can treat you where you live. Its general FAQ describes a limited service area that it says it's working to expand.
- Ask which drug and dose your tier covers this month, since supply decides it.
- Compounded semaglutide isn't FDA-approved.
