Visit TD Tele-Doc Weight LossThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 42 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss is still a genuine option — i read the homepage twice because I thought I had misread it. Near the top: "In Network with Medicare and Most Major Insurance Plans." A few lines down: "we are currently unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid." If you are on Medicare that is the whole decision, and the page tells you both things. Which is a shame, because behind it is a real Virginia practice with two named doctors and actual insurance billing. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss
Ranked #287 · Grade C
What we like
- It is in network with most commercial insurance, which almost nothing else here manages
- Two doctors are named, and it is tied to a recognized medical group
- It prescribes Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro as well as compounded semaglutide
The caveats
- ⛔ It says it is in network with Medicare and then says it cannot accept Medicare, on the same page
- Virginia only, which is the narrowest coverage on this page
- "Starting at $199" is the entire pricing — no tiers, no ongoing rate, no idea what it covers
