MEDvidi is primarily a mental health telehealth practice — ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia — that also runs a weight management service. The clinical infrastructure shows: real video consultations, published BMI criteria, no membership games, and a formulary broad enough to include options most GLP-1 companies will not touch. What it does not have is insurance acceptance, and the consultation fees are the highest we found.
Overview
MEDvidi offers online medical weight loss through video consultations with licensed providers. You create an account, schedule an appointment, have a video visit, receive a personalized assessment and treatment plan, and get a prescription if appropriate.
The pricing model is consultation-based with no membership or hidden fees, and medication is billed separately by your pharmacy. The company states plainly that it does not accept insurance.

Medications Offered
MEDvidi's list is the widest weight-medication formulary we catalogued:
- GLP-1 and dual agonists: Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Saxenda, Victoza, Trulicity
- Non-GLP-1 prescription options: Qsymia, Topamax, metformin, Contrave, Xenical
- Stimulant options: phentermine (Lomaira, Adipex-P)
- Over-the-counter: Alli
Note on phentermine and Qsymia. Several providers we reviewed explicitly refuse to prescribe phentermine and phentermine-topiramate. MEDvidi includes them. That is not automatically wrong — these are FDA-approved weight medications with legitimate uses — but they are controlled or restricted options with different risk profiles from GLP-1s, and a video consultation with a licensed provider is the appropriate setting for that decision. The breadth here means a provider has genuine alternatives if a GLP-1 is unsuitable or unaffordable.
Pricing and Fees
- Introductory consultation: $195
- Introductory plus follow-up package: $249 (a $105 saving)
- Follow-up consultation: $159
- Membership or hidden fees: none
- Medication: billed separately by your pharmacy
These are the highest consultation fees among the unbundled providers we reviewed — $195 initial against $129 at DrHouse, $99 at Klinic, $79 at ZipHealth, and $39 at Doctronic. The $249 package is the sensible choice if you proceed, since it prices two visits below the cost of buying them separately.
Follow-ups at $159 each add up. Monthly follow-ups for a year would run close to $1,900 in consultation fees alone, before medication. If you need frequent contact, this model gets expensive fast — a bundled program with unlimited follow-ups included may cost less overall.
The genuine positive is no membership and no medication markup. What you pay for is clinician time, and you fill your prescription wherever is cheapest.
Consultation, Eligibility, and Labs
The process is account creation, scheduling, a video consultation with a licensed provider, a personalized assessment, and a prescription if appropriate. A real video visit, not an asynchronous form.
Published eligibility follows the standard clinical thresholds: BMI 30 or higher, or BMI 27 or higher with weight-related conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, or type 2 diabetes. See our eligibility guide for context.
On labs, MEDvidi notes you may be recommended additional tests covering thyroid, cardiovascular, or kidney issues. That is more clinical engagement than the questionnaire-only programs offer, though the specific panels are not published.
Pharmacy, Shipping, and Support
Prescriptions are sent directly to pharmacies, with shipping details determined by your pharmacy rather than MEDvidi. That preserves your ability to shop on price and use insurance for the medication even though MEDvidi does not bill insurance for the visit.
Support is prescription management and refills. There is no coaching program, nutrition support, or care team. What MEDvidi does have that most weight programs lack is genuine mental health capability in the same practice — relevant if disordered eating, depression, or anxiety are part of your picture.
Cancellation, Refunds, Insurance, HSA/FSA
- Cancellation and refunds: not disclosed. With per-visit pricing there is no subscription to escape, but at $195 a visit you want to know the policy if a provider declines to prescribe.
- Insurance: not accepted. If you have coverage, an insurance-billing provider will likely cost far less.
- HSA/FSA: not stated. Consultation fees with an itemized receipt are generally qualified — see our HSA/FSA guide. At these fees, pre-tax payment is worth arranging.
- State limits: MEDvidi notes some states do not permit online prescribing of weight loss medication and require an in-person visit. Confirm your state before booking.

Who MEDvidi May Be Best For
MEDvidi fits someone who wants a proper clinical consultation across the full range of weight medications rather than a two-drug menu. If a GLP-1 is unaffordable, unsuitable, or poorly tolerated, a provider here can move to Qsymia, Contrave, phentermine, or metformin without you starting over elsewhere.
It is a particularly reasonable choice if mental health is entangled with your weight situation. Being able to address disordered eating, depression, or ADHD in the same practice is something no dedicated GLP-1 company offers.
It is a poor fit if you are cost-sensitive. Between the $195 entry and $159 follow-ups, this is an expensive way to obtain a prescription unless you genuinely need the breadth. Cheaper unbundled providers do the same job for a fraction of the fee.
Limitations
This review is based on MEDvidi's published materials. Total treatment cost cannot be assessed generically because medication is billed by your pharmacy. Compounding status, specific lab requirements, cancellation terms, refund policy, HSA/FSA handling, and the specific list of served states are not published. We have not verified appointment availability, provider credentials, or prescribing patterns in practice.
Alternatives
- Same model, much cheaper visits: DrHouse at $19 with a $9.99 membership, or Doctronic at $39.
- Want insurance billed: Klinic or Midi Health.
- Broad brand-name formulary with a low membership: Hello Alpha at $79/month.
- Compare the field: best online GLP-1 providers.

Medical Disclaimer & Review Date
This review is general consumer information, not medical advice. GLP-1 medications are prescription drugs with serious contraindications, and whether any treatment is appropriate for you is a decision only a licensed healthcare provider who knows your medical history can make. Nothing here should be used to start, stop, or change a medication.

Count the Follow-Ups, Not Just the First Visit
With per-visit pricing, the entry fee is only part of the picture. Estimate a year of follow-ups before comparing against a bundled program.
