Provider review
MDLive review
No self-pay cash price exists anywhere on the site for anything
An insurance-first Cigna platform with no cash price anywhere for anything: every figure quoted is "before insurance." GLP-1s come only through a primary-care visit, and never at all in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi or New Jersey.
Straight talk: how we earn — some, not all, of these are affiliate links; start a program through one and we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Straight about the rest, too: the write-ups say what each provider is actually worth, and a commission does not change a word of them. Full disclosure here.

The verdict
MDLive's scale and insurance integration are real and substantial, but a reader without qualifying insurance can't find out what a GLP-1-eligible visit actually costs anywhere on the site — every price shown depends on a specific health plan or employer.
MDLive is not ranked on any of our rankings. This is a standalone read of what the company publishes about itself — the providers we do rank in this category are on our semaglutide provider ranking. Nothing on this page is a performance claim — see the evidence review for what these compounds do and do not do.
Who it is for, and who it is not
A good fit if
- You already have MDLive access through your employer or health plan
- You want GLP-1 access folded into a broader Primary Care relationship rather than a standalone weight-loss product
- You're comfortable with GLP-1 prescribing being entirely at the clinician's discretion, not guaranteed
Look elsewhere if
- You want a self-pay cash price before booking — none is published anywhere
- You live in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, or New Jersey — anti-obesity medications are excluded
- You want a dedicated weight-loss product rather than GLP-1s folded into a general Primary Care visit
What it actually costs
What they advertise
Pricing not published anywhere on the site — every figure shown ('$0-179' wellness, '$0-299' psychiatry) depends on your specific health plan or employer, not a flat cash price.
What you actually pay, month to month
Pricing not published; GLP-1 access runs through a Primary Care Routine Care visit whose cost depends entirely on insurance.
Money you will meet later
- A $25 fee applies for canceling a Wellness or Routine Care visit within 24/2 hours
- A $50 fee applies for canceling a Mental Health visit within 24 hours
We checked MDLive's own public pages in August 2026 and found no dollar figure. We do not print a number we cannot see, and we do not repeat one from a third-party blog. Work out what a vial actually gives you with our peptide dose calculator.
What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what MDLive bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
GLP-1 prescribing at the clinician's discretion during a Primary Care Routine Care visit; not available via Urgent Care or Wellness Screening.
Bloodwork / labs
Not published.
Follow-ups and dose changes
No cadence published.
Human support
National network of board-certified doctors and therapists
no individual clinicians named.
Injection supplies
Not published.
Shipping
Not published.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Not published — prescriptions filled through the patient's own pharmacy via standard insurance channels, consistent with a brand-name-only, insurance-first model.
Oversight
No cadence published.
Compounded peptides are not FDA-approved products, and a 503A pharmacy compounds for a named patient while a 503B outsourcing facility manufactures in batches under CGMP. Neither is a quality guarantee on its own — a named facility is simply a fact you can check, and an unnamed “partner pharmacy network” is not. Our guide to verifying a certificate of analysis covers what to ask for.
Where you can get it
Excluded in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Jersey for anti-obesity medications; otherwise available broadly through insurance and employer benefits.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
MDLive publishes no self-pay cash price anywhere on the site — every figure shown depends on a specific health plan or employer, leaving a reader without qualifying insurance with no way to know what a GLP-1-eligible visit actually costs.
- No self-pay cash price published anywhere on the site
- GLP-1 prescribing is entirely at the clinician's discretion, not guaranteed
- Excluded in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Jersey
- No LegitScript or other third-party trust seal claimed
None of this is unique to MDLive — the whole category shares it. What we hold against a provider is the part it hides, and the ways vendors hide things are cataloged in our vendor red-flags guide.
How it compares
The providers we rank on our semaglutide provider ranking, in the order that ranking ranks them. MDLive is not among them: it is reviewed here, not ranked there, and we would rather show you the comparison than pretend the two are the same thing.
- COCollectiveThe cheapest medication price here, on a membership the headline omits
- CoreAge RxOne price that does not move when your dose does
- BHBodybuilding Health+The deep peptide catalog is gone; the GLP-1 pricing got better
- RxSpan MDOral tablet only, at a real $179 monthly rate
- Enhance MDWrites a flat-price-at-every-dose policy down — and charges near the top for it
- Found HealthInsurance-integrated, unlike every cash-only compounder here — but $99 needs a prepay
- Direct MedsThe plainest price mechanics on either ranking, from a company with an FDA warning letter
- Synergy RxPublishes a starting number, and nothing about what it commits you to

Read this before you buy
A provider comparison is half the decision. The other half is whether the compound does anything for you at all — and whether it is allowed where you compete. Growth-hormone secretagogues are banned in tested sport, year-round, and a prescription does not change that.
