MEDvidi is a consultation-based telehealth service that prescribes brand-name GLP-1 medications alongside an unusually wide range of non-GLP-1 weight loss drugs, charging per visit rather than by subscription.
Overview
Nearly every provider in this market sells one or two compounded GLP-1s. MEDvidi does something different: it prescribes brand-name products across the whole weight medication landscape, spanning semaglutide as Ozempic, Wegovy and Rybelsus, tirzepatide as Mounjaro and Zepbound, liraglutide as Saxenda and Victoza, dulaglutide as Trulicity, and non-GLP-1 options including Qsymia, Topamax, metformin, Contrave, phentermine and orlistat.
That breadth matters clinically. GLP-1s are not right for everyone, and a provider that can only sell you compounded semaglutide has an obvious incentive problem. MEDvidi's model, where you pay for the consultation and medication is billed separately through a pharmacy, removes that conflict.
The pricing follows from the model. An introductory consultation is $195, a follow-up is $159, and a package combining both is $249, which MEDvidi publishes as saving $105. That is considerably more than the $39 to $99 visit fees charged by [Klinic](/reviews/klinic) or [Amazon](/reviews/amazon-pharmacy), and MEDvidi does not accept insurance.

Brand-Name or Compounded?
MEDvidi's published medication list is entirely brand-name FDA-approved products, and it does not indicate compounded options. If you specifically want low-cost compounded semaglutide or tirzepatide, this is not the provider for it. What you get instead is access to the full approved formulary, including non-GLP-1 drugs that most telehealth weight companies do not touch.
Consultation Process
Book an introductory consultation
Schedule the initial visit, published at $195, or the $249 package that includes a follow-up.
Clinical assessment
An MD, DO or other licensed medical provider assesses your history and whether medication is appropriate.
Prescription to your pharmacy
If prescribed, the prescription goes to a pharmacy, and MEDvidi notes that patients can switch pharmacies.
Follow-up
Follow-up consultations are published at $159, or included in the package rate.
Eligibility
- BMI of 30 or higher
- Or BMI of 27 or higher with weight-related problems or chronic health conditions
- You must be in a state where weight loss medications can be prescribed online
- Clinical eligibility determined by the assessing provider
- Standard contraindications apply as assessed by the prescriber
Provider Involvement and Lab Requirements
Provider Involvement
Care is delivered by licensed medical providers including MDs and DOs. Because the model is consultation-based, provider time is what you are paying for, and follow-up visits are a distinct published product rather than an included extra.
Lab Requirements
MEDvidi does not explicitly state lab requirements. Given that it prescribes brand-name medication where insurers commonly require documentation, and that it prescribes drugs such as metformin and topiramate, ask what bloodwork the provider will want.
Pharmacy Fulfillment and Shipping
Pharmacy Fulfillment
Prescriptions are sent to a pharmacy of your choosing, and MEDvidi notes that patients can switch pharmacies. Because the medications are brand-name, there is no compounding pharmacy in the chain.
Shipping Frequency
MEDvidi does not publish shipping details, which follows from its model: prescriptions go to a pharmacy rather than being fulfilled and shipped by MEDvidi itself. Delivery or collection depends on the pharmacy you choose.
Support Services
- Consultations with MDs, DOs and other licensed medical providers
- Follow-up consultations available as a distinct service
- Freedom to choose and switch pharmacies
- Access to non-GLP-1 alternatives if a GLP-1 is unsuitable
- No coaching or dietitian program published as included
Pricing
MEDvidi charges for clinical consultations only. Medication is billed separately by whichever pharmacy fills your prescription, and MEDvidi does not publish medication pricing.
| Plan or Medication | Published Price | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Introductory consultation | $195 | Initial assessment with a licensed medical provider |
| Introductory plus follow-up package | $249 | Published as saving $105 versus booking separately |
| Follow-up consultation | $159 | Ongoing monitoring and prescription management |
| Medication | Not published | Billed separately by your chosen pharmacy |
Pricing reflects what MEDvidi published at the time of review and can change without notice. Confirm current pricing directly with the provider before enrolling.
Membership Fees
None. MEDvidi charges per consultation rather than by membership or subscription, so there is no recurring platform fee. The trade-off is that each visit carries a substantial individual cost.
Medication Fees
Not published. Because MEDvidi sends prescriptions to a pharmacy of your choosing rather than fulfilling them itself, medication cost depends on the drug, the pharmacy and any manufacturer pricing or coverage you qualify for.
Cancellation and Refund Policy
Cancellation
MEDvidi does not publish cancellation terms. Because there is no subscription, the practical question is the policy on cancelled or missed appointments, which is worth asking about before booking a $195 visit.
Refunds
No refund policy is detailed publicly. Ask specifically about the terms for cancelled appointments and for the $249 package if you do not use the follow-up.
Insurance, HSA and FSA
Insurance
MEDvidi states that it does not currently accept insurance. Note that this applies to its consultation fees; the medication itself is filled at a pharmacy where your insurance may still apply, since these are brand-name products.
HSA / FSA
MEDvidi does not publish HSA or FSA acceptance. Telehealth consultations are generally an eligible expense; confirm with your plan administrator and retain receipts.
