Which of these companies will tell you who they are?
Every provider here will take your card. Not all of them will name the company taking it. We ran the same four disclosure checks against all 15, using only what each company publishes about itself.
The useful part is what the scores do not track: price. Of the four cheapest providers we list, two disclose everything and two disclose nothing — and the single cheapest of all is one of the fully disclosed ones. So a low price does not require accepting an anonymous counterparty. It does mean the budget end of this market contains both kinds, and they look identical from the outside until you check.
What we checked, and why
| Check | Why it matters to you |
|---|---|
| Names a legal entity | Who you would actually be contracting with, and who a regulator or court would have to name. |
| Publishes an address | A place of business you can write to. A private mailbox counts as published, and we flag it as one. |
| Names business leadership | Someone accountable for the company, not only the clinicians it contracts with. |
| Discloses ownership | Public filer, VC-backed, PE-controlled or founder-held — each changes who the company answers to. |
These are disclosure tests, not quality tests. A company can score four out of four and still be a poor deal, and a company can score one and dispense a perfectly good prescription from an accredited pharmacy. What a low score costs you is recourse: if you cannot name the entity, you cannot easily dispute a charge with your bank, file with a state board, or be part of a claim.

✓ means the company publishes it. — means we could not find it published by the company, and said so rather than filling the gap from a data aggregator.
The ones worth reading closely
What each of these did and did not publish, and where the facts in our dossier actually came from when the company itself did not provide them.
How to check any provider yourself in two minutes
None of this required special access. You can repeat it on any telehealth site you are considering, and the same four questions work outside this category too:
- Read the Terms of Service, not the About page. Terms have to name the contracting entity and a governing-law state to be worth much. If the document says only "the Service", that is the answer.
- Scroll to the footer. Look for a street address. Then search that address — a suite number that resolves to a mailbox store is a private mailbox, not an office.
- Search the entity name plus your state's business registry. Registration date tells you the real age of the company, which often differs sharply from what the marketing implies.
- Check whether the "press" is press. Paste a headline into a search engine. If every result is a newswire syndication and no named journalist wrote any of it, the coverage is paid distribution — occasionally written in the voice of an independent review.
Disclosure research, not medical, legal, or financial advice, and not an accusation of wrongdoing against any company. Every check reflects what a company published as of 2026-09-06; companies can and do improve their disclosure, and corrections land in our changelog.
