Pros

  • All 50 states
  • Insurance integration is deep: most employer plans include MDLive, reducing or eliminating out-of-pocket costs
  • Backed by Evernorth/Cigna
  • Covers primary care, urgent care, dermatology, and behavioral health in one platform
  • On-demand availability for urgent visits
  • Video visits provide real-time interaction; not async-only care

Cons

  • Not a GLP-1 specialist: patients seeking structured weight loss programs, dedicated titration coaching, or compounded semaglutide should look at specialist platforms
  • Pricing is opaque for cash-pay patients; strongly optimized for the insured population
  • Individual access (without employer benefits) is less seamless than using it through your employer plan
  • No weight loss program structure comparable to Found, Calibrate, or Sequence
  • No labs ordered or drawn through the platform (patients need to go to external lab)
