Visit TD Tele-Doc Weight LossThe verdict for a first step
CoreAge Rx edges out TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss on the Mama-Match Score, 73 to 42 (C vs C). Someone comparing dose prices who can obtain the offer, state availability and order terms in writing.
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss is still a genuine option — i read the homepage twice because I thought I had got it wrong. Near the top: "In Network with Medicare and Most Major Insurance Plans." A few lines further down: "we are currently unable to accept Medicare or Medicaid." If you are on Medicare, that is the entire decision, and the page tells you both. Which is a shame, because behind it is a real Virginia medical practice, with two named physicians and genuine insurance billing. Weigh the six first-timer factors below against your own priorities.

Mama-Match
CoreAge Rx
Rank #31 · Grade C
What we like
- Published prices for both molecules, with the same advertised amount at each dose
- The offer includes medication, consultation and shipping, without an advertised membership fee
- The legal footer identifies the platform and the entities responsible for clinical care
The caveats
- The main site and a separate offer page show different prices
- The FAQ and policy differ on automatic rebilling and denial refunds
- State restrictions; orders become final when sent to pharmacy, with a 30-day refund cutoff
Mama-Match
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss
Rank #285 · Grade C
What we like
- It is in network with most commercial insurance, which almost nothing else reviewed here manages
- It names two physicians and is tied to a recognized medical group
- It prescribes Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro as well as compounded semaglutide
The caveats
- ⛔ It says it is in the Medicare network and then says it cannot accept Medicare, on the same page
- Virginia only: the narrowest coverage on this page
- "Starting at $199" is the whole of its published pricing — no steps, no ongoing rate, no statement of what it covers
