Visit TD Tele-Doc Weight LossThe verdict for women
CoreAge Rx edges out TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss on the Metabolic-Fit Score, 92 to 43 (A− vs C). Mothers who want a fixed monthly price, a real clinician rather than an intake quiz, and uninterrupted nationwide access to both semaglutide and tirzepatide while they work out the timing around pregnancy or weaning.
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss is still a genuine option — two sentences on the same homepage, a few lines apart: "In Network with Medicare and Most Major Insurance Plans", and then "Please note, we are currently unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid." For a mother on Medicare that is the difference between a covered program and none at all. What sits underneath is a real Virginia practice with two named physicians, an athenahealth portal and commercial insurance billing — a shape almost nothing else on this page has. Weigh the six women's-health factors below against your own priorities.

Metabolic-Fit / 100
CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A−
What we like
- A single flat monthly rate — no teaser first month that jumps at the first refill
- A prescriber reviews your history and will actually talk through timing if you're postpartum, nursing, or planning another pregnancy
- Semaglutide and tirzepatide on one chart, so switching molecules doesn't mean switching providers
The caveats
- Not the lowest sticker price — a couple of budget compounders come in under it
- Compounded only; there's no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound lane here
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated OB or hormone practice
Metabolic-Fit / 100
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss
Ranked #164 · Grade C
What we like
- Bills commercial insurance in network, which almost nothing else on this roster does
- Names its physicians — Peter Wilbanks, MD and Michael Perini, MD — and links to a recognized medical group
- Offers FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro alongside compounded semaglutide
The caveats
- ⛔ The homepage claims Medicare network status and then states it cannot accept Medicare, in the same view
- Virginia only — the narrowest coverage on this page
- "Starting at $199" is the only figure published anywhere; there is no breakdown, no dose tier and no follow-up rate
