Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about telehealth in Maryland
Do you accept insurance or HSA/FSA?
We are currently cash-pay only, but we're actively working to enroll with insurance companies and employer HSA/FSA programs. If you'd like to see MarylandDoc covered by your insurance or employer, please ask them to partner with us - it helps our growth tremendously!
What's the difference between synchronous and asynchronous care?
Synchronous care involves scheduled real-time video or phone visits with a provider of your choice. Asynchronous care is faster - the next available provider reviews your case and manages treatment via secure messaging, only contacting you if needed for clinical decisions.
How quickly can I get my prescription?
Most prescriptions are reviewed and sent within 24 hours. You can pick up at your local Maryland pharmacy same-day or use mail order delivery (2-5 business days).
Is my information private and HIPAA compliant?
Yes. All consultations and medical records are fully HIPAA compliant with 256-bit encryption. Your privacy is our priority and we never share your information without consent.
Do you treat patients throughout Maryland?

Weight Loss Guide
Your Complete Guide to Sustainable Weight Loss
Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight involves understanding the science behind weight loss and implementing proven strategies tailored to your lifestyle.
Understanding GLP-1 Medications
GLP-1 receptor agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide have revolutionized weight loss treatment. These medications work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel fuller longer and reducing cravings.
Key Benefits:
Significant weight reduction (15-20% body weight on average)
Improved metabolic health and blood sugar control
Reduced cardiovascular risk factors
Enhanced energy levels and quality of life
Lifestyle Integration:
While medications provide powerful support, combining them with healthy eating habits, regular physical activity, and stress management creates the foundation for lasting success. Our providers work with you to create a personalized plan that fits your life.
Ready to start your journey? Schedule a consultation with one of our Maryland-licensed physicians to discuss which weight loss treatment is right for you.
Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide
Comparing Two Leading Weight Loss Medications
Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are highly effective GLP-1 receptor agonists, but they have unique characteristics that may make one more suitable for your needs.
Semaglutide
Brands: Ozempic, Wegovy
Mechanism: GLP-1 receptor agonist
Average Weight Loss: 15% of body weight
Dosing: Once weekly injection
Starting Price: From $299/month
Tirzepatide
Brand: Mounjaro, Zepbound
Mechanism: Dual GLP-1/GIP agonist
Average Weight Loss: 20% of body weight
Dosing: Once weekly injection
Starting Price: From $399/month
Key Differences:
Tirzepatide's dual-action mechanism targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors often results in slightly greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide. However, individual results vary, and factors like tolerance, side effects, and cost may influence which medication is best for you.
Not sure which is right for you? Our Maryland physicians will evaluate your medical history, goals, and preferences to recommend the most appropriate treatment during your consultation.
Benefits of Telehealth

Experience telehealth done right. MarylandDoc combines cutting-edge technology with compassionate care from Maryland-licensed physicians who understand your unique needs.
Understanding GLP-1 Medications
The Science Behind GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
GLP-1 (Glucagon-Like Peptide-1) medications represent a breakthrough in weight management and metabolic health, offering a scientifically-proven approach to sustainable weight loss.
How GLP-1 Medications Work
These medications mimic a natural hormone your body produces after eating. GLP-1 helps regulate:
Appetite: Increases feelings of fullness and reduces hunger
Blood Sugar: Stimulates insulin release when blood sugar is elevated
Digestion: Slows gastric emptying, helping you feel satisfied longer
Cravings: Reduces food-seeking behaviors and emotional eating
Available GLP-1 Medications
Semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy): FDA-approved for weight management, showing 15% average body weight reduction
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound): Dual GLP-1/GIP agonist with up to 20% weight loss results
Compounded GLP-1: Custom-formulated alternatives offering similar benefits at more affordable prices
Who Benefits Most?
GLP-1 medications are particularly effective for individuals with:
BMI of 30 or higher (obesity)
BMI of 27+ with weight-related health conditions
Difficulty losing weight through diet and exercise alone
Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes
What to Expect
Most patients start noticing reduced appetite within the first week. Weight loss typically becomes noticeable within 4-6 weeks, with maximum effects seen after several months of treatment. Side effects are usually mild and temporary, most commonly including nausea, which typically improves as your body adjusts.
Ready to explore GLP-1 treatment? Schedule a consultation with our Maryland physicians to determine if GLP-1 medications are right for your weight loss journey.
