MEDvidi

MEDvidi

MEDvidi is primarily an online mental health service — ADHD, anxiety and depression, including controlled substances — that also offers weight management prescribing. It charges per visit rather than by subscription, publishing $195 for an initial appointment and $159 for a follow-up, takes no insurance but accepts HSA and FSA, and sends prescriptions to a pharmacy of your choice.

What stands out

  • The practice's centre of gravity is mental health, including controlled-substance prescribing under the extended DEA telehealth rules, rather than weight management.
  • Charges per visit with no subscription, and publishes both the initial and follow-up prices.
  • Prescriptions go to your own pharmacy, so there is no captive fulfilment channel and no compounded product.
  • Publishes a phone number and email for its care team, which is more contactable than most platforms here.
  • Does not accept insurance at all, which for a brand-name GLP-1 leaves the medication cost entirely with you at the pharmacy.
  • Publishes no weight-specific programme detail — no eligibility criteria, no monitoring schedule, no lab requirements.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

  • What is the weight management pathway specifically — how often are follow-ups needed at $159 each?
  • With no insurance accepted for the visit and a brand-name prescription at the pharmacy, what is the total first-year cost?
  • Which GLP-1 medications will the provider actually prescribe, and under what criteria?
  • Is baseline lab work required before starting?
  • If you are also being treated here for a mental health condition, how do the two treatment plans interact and who oversees that?

May suit

An existing MEDvidi patient who wants weight management added by a clinician who already knows their history, and who is filling a brand-name prescription at their own pharmacy.

Limitations

  • Weight management is a minor line on a mental health platform, with almost nothing published about it.
  • No insurance accepted for visits.
  • No medication supplied and no published medication cost.
  • No published eligibility criteria, lab requirements, refund or cancellation terms.
  • Per-visit pricing at $195 and $159 is at the higher end for a service that supplies no medication.

Frequently asked

Is this a weight loss service?

Not principally. MEDvidi is an online mental health practice covering ADHD, anxiety and depression, with prescribing that extends to weight management. If you want a structured GLP-1 programme with monitoring, dose escalation support and published criteria, this is not that; if you want a licensed prescriber who can write to your own pharmacy, it is.

What will I pay?

$195 for the initial thirty-minute visit and $159 for follow-ups for most services, with no insurance accepted and HSA or FSA cards taken. The medication is bought separately at your pharmacy. The site advises contacting the care team to confirm the exact price for a specific service before booking.
