MDLive Telehealth: See a Board-Certified Doctor Any Time

MDLive is one of the largest telehealth companies in the United States. It connects patients with board-certified doctors, therapists, and psychiatrists through video or phone visits — at any hour of the day or night, including weekends and holidays. If you wake up with a bad cough at midnight, notice a rash on Saturday afternoon, or need a refill on a common medication but cannot get an appointment with your regular doctor for weeks, MDLive can help.

MDLive doctors can treat a wide range of non-emergency conditions including colds, flu, sinus infections, ear infections, pink eye, urinary tract infections, allergies, skin rashes, and mild back pain. They can also write prescriptions that are sent electronically to a pharmacy near you, usually within minutes after the visit.

For mental health needs, MDLive has licensed therapists and psychiatrists available for scheduled video visits. This is especially valuable for people in areas where mental health providers are in short supply or where transportation to appointments is difficult.

MDLive accepts many major insurance plans, and for people without insurance, visits are available for a flat fee that is usually between $82 and $108 for a medical visit. Costs vary depending on your insurance and the type of visit. You can check your coverage and estimated cost before booking.

To use MDLive you need a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. The video quality does not need to be perfect — a basic front-facing phone camera works fine for most visits.
