Provider review
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss review
Its homepage banner claims Medicare coverage while its own disclaimer says the opposite
Semaglutide starts at $199. The homepage banner says "In Network with Medicare and Most Major Insurance Plans" and a disclaimer on that same page says it cannot accept Medicare — with a patient testimonial underneath repeating the wrong one.
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
TD Tele-Doc's two named physicians independently check out as real, active, Virginia-licensed clinicians, but its own homepage banner claims Medicare coverage while a disclaimer on the same page states the opposite — reinforced by a patient testimonial repeating the incorrect claim — and its LegitScript badge points to a domain that returns a live 404.
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss 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 want the option of either FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1s or compounded semaglutide from the same practice
- You live in Virginia, where the practice is unambiguously confirmed to operate
- You want two named, NPI-verified physicians disclosed directly
Look elsewhere if
- You're relying on Medicare coverage — the homepage banner claims it's accepted, but the site's own disclaimer says the opposite
- You're in Maryland and unsure whether you're currently served — the site's own pages disagree
- You want to independently verify a LegitScript certification — the badge points to a different domain that currently 404s
What it actually costs
What they advertise
'Starting at $199' for semaglutide on the homepage banner; brand-name GLP-1 medication cost depends entirely on insurance coverage and isn't published as a flat cash figure.
What you actually pay, month to month
$199/month is the confirmed starting figure for semaglutide; brand-name drug cost varies by insurance plan and isn't published as a self-pay figure.

What is included
The cheapest headline number in this category is often the one with the least attached to it. Here is what TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
Weekly virtual appointments with named
NPI-verified physicians (Dr. Peter T. Wilbanks, MD; Dr. Michael A. Perini, MD).
Bloodwork / labs
Not published.
Follow-ups and dose changes
Weekly virtual appointments.
Human support
Remote Patient Monitoring 'Starter Box' with a biometric scale and supplements included.
Injection supplies
Biometric scale included in the Starter Box.
Shipping
Not published.
Pharmacy, labs and oversight
The pharmacy
Not individually named — brand-name prescriptions fill at insurance-network pharmacies; compounded semaglutide's specific pharmacy isn't disclosed.
Oversight
Weekly virtual appointments.
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
Virginia confirmed unambiguously; Maryland is listed on the locations page but marked 'Coming Soon' on a separate homepage banner — a real internal inconsistency.
The honest cons
The part they would rather you skipped
TD Tele-Doc's homepage banner states, 'In Network with Medicare and Most Major Insurance Plans' — while a disclaimer on the identical page states 'we are currently unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid,' a direct contradiction reinforced by a patient testimonial repeating the incorrect claim.
- Homepage banner claims Medicare coverage while its own disclaimer on the same page says the opposite
- Maryland's service status is inconsistent between the locations page and a 'Coming Soon' homepage banner
- LegitScript badge points to a different domain ('teledocweightloss.com') that currently returns a live 404
- Only two named physicians for a Virginia-and-Maryland-wide practice
None of this is unique to TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss — 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. TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss 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.
