Telehealth prescriber review for cost and coverage: I've used 2 different telehealth platforms to get my GLP-1 prescription. Comparison:
| Feature | Platform A | Platform B | Platform C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Consult | $66 | $86 | $0 |
| Monthly Follow-up | $36 | Included | $51 |
| Prescription Speed | Same day | 24-48 hours | Same day |
| Lab Monitoring | Required | Optional | Required |
