The verdict

MDLive takes it — 58.8/100 to 46.2/100.

MDLive grades higher on WeighScore, our editorial score across cost value, dose & formulation, clinical oversight, labs & monitoring, fulfillment and contract terms. MDLive (an Evernorth/Cigna company) is a large telehealth provider offering urgent care, primary care, dermatology and behavioral health.

We may earn a commission if you start care through some of these links, at no extra cost to you. It never moves the WeighScore, which is the weighted average of the six factors shown for every provider, and what we write about a provider is the same either way. See our disclosure.

MDLive

Graded #357 · C

Strengths

  • Prescribes FDA-approved branded GLP-1s including Wegovy and Zepbound
  • Covered through insurance and employer benefits for 50M-plus people
  • Board-certified physicians averaging about 15 years of experience
  • Part of Evernorth/Cigna, a large established healthcare organization
  • Offers full primary care, not just a single weight-loss funnel

Where it loses points

  • GLP-1s only at clinician discretion in a Primary Care routine visit
  • Anti-obesity meds not available in FL, LA, MS or NJ
  • Distributed mainly via insurers and employers; cost varies by plan
  • No transparent published monthly cash price for GLP-1 care
OlleveCare

Graded #497 · C

Strengths

  • 13 states listed explicitly (VA, FL, AZ, MA, HI, IA, MD, NM, WA, KS, NY, DC, ID)
  • Both semaglutide and tirzepatide offered — switch molecules without switching platforms
  • Multi-service platform — GLP-1, virtual urgent care, and non-controlled refills with one provider
  • Cash-pay with a superbill option for out-of-network reimbursement
  • Founder Ahmed Emam is named in the footer

Where it loses points

  • Legal entity name not disclosed anywhere — can't be verified in a state registry
  • Pricing not shown before booking — you must enter the intake flow to see the fee
  • Pharmacy partner not named; model appears to fill at your preferred retail pharmacy
  • No medical director or prescribing clinician named — only 'board-certified providers'
  • No LegitScript badge, BBB profile, or HIPAA/SOC 2 seals displayed

Also worth a look

Neither is our top-graded pick — CoreAge Rx leads the scorecard

Across all 499 providers, CoreAge Rx grades highest at 91.8/100 (A−). Top of the scorecard: flat transparent pricing, both molecules, nationwide — no teaser-rate games.

Pricing/verification reflect each provider's public disclosures at last grading; the WeighScore is our editorial judgment per the methodology. Prices change — confirm on each provider's site. Not medical advice; see our disclosure.
