Visit TD Tele-Doc Weight LossThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss on the Rx-Readiness Score, 95 to 41 (A vs C). Working moms who want a decision, not a research project — flat pricing, both semaglutide and tirzepatide, and no scheduled video visit to book around work and pickup.
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss is still a genuine option — this is the one place on the page where the cost question has a different shape, because it bills commercial insurance rather than a card — so the number that matters is your copay, not a sticker. Which makes the homepage's Medicare contradiction consequential rather than sloppy: it claims Medicare network status in one line and rules Medicare out a few lines below. The only published figure, "starting at $199", never says what it buys. Weigh the six readiness factors below against your own priorities.
Side-by-side on the six factors
Both providers scored on the same readiness rubric — the higher side on each factor is marked. See the methodology.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat monthly price that stays put through titration — no dose-scaling surprise on your busiest month
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on one plan, so you're not re-signing to switch
- Async, no-video intake and all-50-states coverage — start it during a lunch break
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a couple of teaser tiers elsewhere start lower
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand option
- General metabolic program, not a boutique concierge service
TD Tele-Doc Weight Loss
Ranked #291 · Grade C
What we like
- In network with most commercial insurance, which almost nothing else on this page offers
- Two named physicians and an affiliation with a recognized medical group
- Prescribes Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic and Mounjaro as well as compounded semaglutide
The caveats
- It claims Medicare network status and states it cannot accept Medicare, on the same homepage
- Virginia residents only — the narrowest coverage here
- "Starting at $199" is the entire published pricing: no tiers, no ongoing rate, no statement of scope
