MDVIP

+National scale (1,100+ affiliated physicians, ~400,000 members in 45 states + D.C.) and a 25-year operating history
+Annual fee bundles an advanced wellness exam (expanded labs, EKG, vision/hearing, body composition) that insurance typically does not cover
+Smaller physician panels with same- or next-day appointments and after-hours access to one's own doctor
−No national price list: fees are set per physician and commonly run about $1,800-$3,300/year on top of insurance premiums and copays
−Refunds are generally unavailable once the annual wellness testing is performed, and multiple Trustpilot/BBB complaints cite refund difficulty
−Primarily in-person care; coverage depends on an affiliated physician being nearby, and it is not a telehealth-first service

TeleDirectMD

+One all-in $79 cash price per visit, published up front and HSA/FSA eligible
+Every visit is a live video consult with a named, board-certified physician, never a mid-level provider or a questionnaire-only review
+Fast access: visits typically start within 1–2 hours of booking, 7 days a week, and prescriptions go to the patient's own pharmacy
−A single physician handles all visits, which limits capacity and continuity of care
−No GLP-1, weight-loss or controlled-substance prescribing
−Not available in AR, MA, NM, NY, OR or RI
