Ask what Teladoc Health charges and the site gives no answer; the figure sits with your plan or your employer, which leaves it opaque as a cash-pay route for most members. It counts among the largest virtual care companies, claiming partnerships with 100-plus US health plans and with over half of Fortune 500 employers. Weight management runs through a GLP-1 Prescription and Support program dedicated to it, backed by coaching, nutrition services and connected devices for tracking. Employers and health plans are the main door in, though individuals may enroll on their own.

Hims
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- The monthly price includes the medication
- Serves all 50 states
- Names 4 pharmacies that fill its prescriptions, which most sellers do not
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: clinician visits, coaching
- The FDA has issued Hims a warning letter. Read what it alleges: a letter flags a problem but does not by itself rule a seller out
- Its semaglutide is compounded rather than FDA-approved, so it has not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Teladoc Health
What we like
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to Teladoc Health
Watch-outs
- You only see a price after finishing the medical intake, so you cannot compare costs before sharing health information
- Not included in the monthly price: medication
- Confirm it serves your state before you start the intake
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
Our Verdict
