Overview

MDLIVE is the most conventional option in this group: an Evernorth company delivering GLP-1 prescribing inside a standard primary care visit rather than a weight-loss subscription. Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda and Contrave are named as examples of the anti-obesity medications available, at the doctor's discretion. For patients on participating insurance plans, primary care visits are listed at $0, and MDLIVE accepts major insurers including Cigna, Humana and BlueCross BlueShield. Coverage extends anywhere in the United States and Puerto Rico. Two constraints are stated plainly and matter: anti-obesity medication cannot be prescribed during Urgent Care, Wellness Screening or other visit types — only Primary Care Routine Care — and it is not available in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi or New Jersey.

Pros

  • $0 primary care visits for patients on participating insurance plans
  • Backed by Evernorth with major insurers including Cigna, Humana and BlueCross BlueShield
  • Names its medications: Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda and Contrave
  • Available anywhere in the United States and Puerto Rico
  • Brand-name only, so no compounded-medication caveats

Cons

  • Anti-obesity medication is not available in Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi or New Jersey
  • Must be a Primary Care Routine Care visit — not Urgent Care or Wellness Screening
  • Out-of-pocket pricing for medication visits is not separately published
  • No compounded option if coverage is denied
  • Pharmacy, shipping and lab requirements are not published
