TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss review
By Derek Olsson ·
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 names Peter Wilbanks and Michael Perini as physicians; the earlier NPI matches do not verify current Virginia licenses or an individual treatment assignment. Its 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 with no working page.

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 and can confirm treatment eligibility and your assigned clinician’s current license
- You want two named physicians disclosed directly, with their current state licenses still to confirm
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 with no working page
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.
Prices come from TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss's own website and can change without notice — confirm before you buy. Work out what a vial actually gives you with our peptide dose calculator.
What is included
Compare the total cost, including fees and any minimum commitment. Here is what TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss bundles in, and what it does not.
Clinician consult
The homepage names Peter Wilbanks, MD, and Michael Perini, MD
Confirm current appointment frequency, your assigned clinician and the applicable state license; published names and NPI matches do not independently verify licensure.
Bloodwork / labs
Not published
Follow-ups and dose changes
Ask which follow-up visits your plan includes
A testimonial about weekly appointments does not establish a weekly visit allowance.
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
Ask which follow-up visits your plan includes. A testimonial about weekly appointments does not establish a weekly visit allowance.
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 is listed as a service location. Maryland is listed on the locations page but marked "Coming Soon" on a separate homepage banner. Confirm current eligibility and the clinician’s applicable state license.
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 with no working page
- Two physicians are named, but your assigned clinician and current state licensure need confirmation

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.
