Visit TD Tele-Doc Weight LossThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 41 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss is still a genuine option — a homepage that says "In Network with Medicare and Most Major Insurance Plans" and then, a few lines further down, "we are currently unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid." Both still live in October 2026. Which is a pity, because underneath the contradiction is something rarer than anything else on this page: a genuine Virginia practice with two named doctors, a hospital-grade patient portal, and commercial insurance billing rather than a credit-card checkout. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Each side's six factor scores from our women's-health rubric; the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.
What CoreAge Rx and TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss cost
On semaglutide, CoreAge Rx charges $99 a month at every dose. TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss doesn't sell semaglutide month to month: its lowest figure, $199 a month, comes with a longer commitment (starting price only; the practice bills insurance), so the two prices are not like for like.
On tirzepatide, CoreAge Rx charges $149 a month at every dose. TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss offers tirzepatide but doesn't publish a month-to-month price for it, so ask for the total before you compare it with CoreAge Rx.
Only TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss offers brand-name medication; CoreAge Rx sticks to compounded versions.

CoreAge Rx
Editors' Rating 94/100 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss
Editors' Rating 41/100 · Grade C
What we like
- In network with most commercial insurance — nearly unique on this page
- Two named physicians, and an affiliation with a recognized medical group
- Prescribes FDA-approved Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro as well as compounded semaglutide
The caveats
- It claims Medicare network status and disclaims Medicare acceptance on the same page
- Virginia residents only, which is the narrowest coverage here
- "Starting at $199" is the whole of its pricing — no tiers, no follow-up rate, no statement of what it buys
