Why most online ED visits are free
Most programs earn their money on the medication, so they fold the visit into the price of the pills. Strut's page puts it plainly: "Price includes healthcare provider consultations and free shipping." (Strut sildenafil page, read 14 November 2026). MangoRx headlines "Free provider visits and shipping on all orders" (MangoRx sildenafil page, read 14 November 2026).
The catch: a free visit usually comes with the program's own pharmacy. You buy the medication there, at its price. Our ED medication cost per year guide shows what that adds up to.
HealthRX adds a refund rule: its pricing page says no visit fee applies, and the order is refunded if the clinician says no. Its FAQ says a licensed provider "will review your file within approximately 24 hours" (HealthRX FAQ, read 14 November 2026).

ED visit cost without insurance
If you only want a prescription, two programs sell the visit on its own.
- Lemonaid Health charges a one-time consult fee for ED. Its page says: "One consult covers 12 refills" (Lemonaid ED page, read 14 November 2026). You can send the prescription to a local pharmacy or use its mail-order partner.
- Sesame sells pay-per-visit appointments. Each provider sets a price. Its sildenafil and tadalafil pages listed visits from the price in the table above when we read them on 7 November 2026. Its pages describe the option as "Best for new prescriptions or one-off refills" (Sesame sildenafil page, read 14 November 2026).
Lemonaid also explains how its visit works: "you select a local pharmacy where you want us to send your prescription, and finally you enter your payment details to pay our visit fee" (Lemonaid sildenafil page, read 14 November 2026).
A paid visit plus cheap tablets can beat a bundled plan. With your own prescription, Cost Plus Drugs lists generic sildenafil at $0.22 a tablet before shipping. See online ED markup vs Cost Plus for the full sum.
We do not track the cost of an in-person doctor visit. It depends on the clinic, your area and your plan. Ask the clinic for its cash price before you book.
Telehealth ED consultation fee vs membership
A membership is different from a visit fee. You pay it every month whether or not you see anyone.
- Hone Health sells a lower membership where consults are extra, and a higher one that includes them.
- Sesame has an optional subscription that includes visits and gives access to low-cost generics. Its page lists this ongoing care plan as "Best for ongoing refills" (Sesame sildenafil page, read 14 November 2026). The annual plan fee is non-refundable once paid, per our record.
A membership makes sense only if you use it often, or need more than ED treatment. For one prescription a year, a one-off visit is cheaper.
What the free visit includes
A typical online ED visit is a written health questionnaire. A licensed clinician reads it and asks follow-up questions by message. Some states require a phone or video call. Idun Rx's FAQ notes that some states need a video consultation or live chat, and that a doctor usually replies within about a day (Idun Rx FAQ, read 14 November 2026).
The clinician checks for heart problems, blood pressure medicines and nitrates, which must not be taken with ED pills. Be honest on the form. A clinician can only keep you safe with the full picture.
Hair loss visits cost about the same
The pattern holds for hair loss. Most programs include the visit. A few differ:
| Program | Hair loss visit fee | Read |
|---|---|---|
| Keeps | First visit free; $5 a year after that | 7 Nov 2026 |
| Sesame | From $39 per visit | 7 Nov 2026 |
| Mochi Health | In the required membership: $79 for 1 month to $588 for 12 | 7 Nov 2026 |
| Happy Head | Free dermatologist consultation | 6 Nov 2026 |
Our hair loss treatment cost per year guide adds these fees to the yearly totals.
Questions
FAQ
how much an online ed visit costs
Nothing extra at most programs. Twelve of the 18 ED programs we track include the visit in the medication price, per their pages read 31 October to 7 November 2026. Lemonaid charges one consult fee that covers 12 refills. Sesame charges per visit, priced by each provider. Hone puts consults in a monthly membership.
What is the ED visit cost without insurance?
An online ED visit sold on its own costs a one-time fee at Lemonaid Health or a per-visit price at Sesame. Both fees are in the table above, read in November 2026. Most other programs charge nothing for the visit but require you to buy the medication from them. We do not track in-person clinic prices.
How much does an online ED doctor cost?
Most online ED doctors cost nothing beyond the medication. Ro, Rex MD, Strut Health, Hims and others include the visit. Paid options are Lemonaid, Sesame and Hone Health. Every licensed program uses a clinician who must review your health answers before writing a prescription.
Is a telehealth ED consultation fee worth paying?
Sometimes. A paid visit lets you send the prescription to any pharmacy, including Cost Plus Drugs, where generic tablets cost cents. If you use ED pills often, that can cost less over a year than a bundled plan. If you use them rarely, a free-visit plan may be simpler.
Do I need a video call for an online ED prescription?
Usually not. Most programs use a written questionnaire and messages. Some states require a live chat or video consultation, as Idun Rx notes in its FAQ. The program tells you during sign-up if your state needs one.
What happens if the online doctor says no?
Policies differ. HealthRX says the order is refunded in full if the clinician declines. Lemonaid says there is no charge if it cannot treat you. Programs with a free visit charge nothing until a prescription is written. Read the refund terms before you pay.
