Original answer

Below is a concise pricing comparison of major U.S. telemedicine services (typical self-pay and membership details). Prices and insurance coverage vary by plan, state, and over time — these figures reflect each vendor’s published pricing pages and recent reviews (checked using public sources on or before Sept 19, 2025).

Summary (typical self-pay / consumer-facing prices)

  • Amwell — urgent/online visit: about $69–$79 per visit when paying directly (no monthly membership required for urgent care). Therapy and psychiatry are higher and vary by provider. (go.Amwell.com)
  • Teladoc — general medical: commonly $75 per visit without insurance; many insured patients pay $0–$copay depending on plan. Teladoc accepts many employer/insurer arrangements. (teladochelpcenter.zendesk.com)
  • Doctor on Demand — medical visits: often $99+ without insurance; mental‑health visits higher (therapy $134+; psychiatry initial $299+); many employer/insurer plans reduce cost (sometimes $0). The site shows ranges and emphasizes checking your plan for exact copays. (doctorondemand.com)
  • PlushCare — membership model: monthly fee (e.g., ~$16.99/month) plus per‑visit fees for uninsured patients (urgent/primary ~ $129; therapy ~$169; psychiatry initial ~$299). Insurance can greatly reduce these amounts when in‑network. (forbes.com)
  • MDLive — (typical): urgent/primary care visits often in the $59–$82 range self‑pay, and behavioral health/psychiatry priced separately; many plans/ employers cover MDLive so out‑of‑pocket can be $0–copay. (MDLive pricing varies by plan and state.) (telehealth.com)

Key differences to watch for

  • Insurance vs self‑pay: With most of these vendors the single biggest price driver is whether your health plan or employer covers the service. Many vendors show $0–$copay for in‑network members but list higher self‑pay rates. Always check your specific plan in the app/website before booking. (doctorondemand.com)
  • Memberships: PlushCare and similar services use a monthly membership plus per‑visit fees for uninsured care; Amwell and Teladoc often let you pay per visit without a subscription (though Amwell also offers integrated behavioral health options priced per session). (go.Amwell.com)
  • Service type matters: Urgent care/primary care visits are the cheapest; therapy and psychiatry sessions cost substantially more (therapy typically $100–$200+; psychiatry initial visits often $200–$300+ when self‑pay). (telehealth.com)
  • State and provider variation: Some services charge different rates by state, and individual provider length/credentials affect price (e.g., 15‑min vs 50‑min therapy sessions). (doctorondemand.com)

Quick practical guidance

  • If you have insurance: log into the vendor’s app/website and add your plan — it will show the exact copay or $0 options before booking. Doctor on Demand, Teladoc, Amwell, PlushCare, and MDLive all work with many major insurers. (doctorondemand.com)
  • If you’re uninsured and want lowest upfront cost for a basic urgent care visit: Amwell (~$69) or Teladoc (~$75) are often among the least expensive options; Doctor on Demand and PlushCare list higher self‑pay starting prices. (go.Amwell.com)
  • For ongoing therapy/psychiatry: compare per‑session price, length of session, whether insurance is accepted, and whether the platform requires a monthly membership (membership can be worth it if you use frequent sessions). (forbes.com)

If you’d like, I can:

  • Build a side‑by‑side table comparing a specific set of services (e.g., Teladoc, Amwell, Doctor on Demand, PlushCare, MDLive) with exact current prices for the state and service type you care about — I’ll verify the latest published rates for your state/plan and cite the sources.

Would you like that (and if so, which services and what state or insurance plan should I check)?
