What is the difference between a telemedicine clinic and a traditional clinic?

Back to FAQs

A traditional clinic requires you to visit a physical office for appointments, lab work, and prescription pickups. You’re limited to providers in your area and to the providers and medications covered by your insurance. This often leads to restricted care plans and lack of access to expertise.

A telemedicine clinic like Defy Medical delivers high-quality, customized care online. Defy Medical doesn’t accept insurance and instead sets reliable pricing without surprises.

Your consultations take place via secure video or phone call, your lab work is completed at a location near you, and your medications are shipped directly to your door. You can receive expert care from the comfort of your own home, on a schedule that works for you.

Defy Medical is licensed to treat patients across the United States, which means you’re not limited to providers in your city or region. You have access to an in-house care team that specializes exclusively in hormone optimization, integrative medicine, and wellness — expertise that can be hard to find locally.
