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

ZipHealth

+Large scale for a generalist telehealth pharmacy platform: 560,000+ customers claimed and one of the higher Trustpilot review volumes in the category (3,700+ reviews, 4.2 average).
+Broad prescription menu spanning hair loss (finasteride), ED, migraine, antiviral, UTI, and other common conditions through a single flat consultation fee.
+Fast, self-service intake flow praised by many reviewers as easy to navigate.
−Reviewers describe automatic subscription renewals with insufficient warning and difficulty canceling — a billing-friction issue distinct from having a subscription model at all.
−Individual medication pricing (including finasteride) is not shown until after intake is completed, limiting upfront price transparency.
−Multiple reviewers report multi-day waits for provider consultations despite marketing an 'express' service.
