How we rank
Every TeleRanked ranking is built the same way: a transparent, weighted rubric applied consistently across a category. No provider can pay for a better position.
Our scoring rubric
We score each provider from 0 to 5 across six weighted dimensions, and the overall star rating is the weighted average of those scores. The weights reflect what matters most to readers making a real decision. Five dimensions are scored by our editors; the sixth, public sentiment, is researched from third-party review sites (such as Trustpilot) and community discussion (such as Reddit), so the score reflects real user experience, not just our own.
| Criterion | Weight | What we assess |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical quality | 25% | Licensing, clinician credentials, prescribing safeguards and continuity of care. |
| Value for money | 20% | All-in cost including consults, medication and labs over a realistic treatment window, not just headline pricing. |
| Public sentiment | 20% | How real patients rate the provider, measured from third-party review platforms like Trustpilot and community discussion on Reddit. |
| Access & fulfillment | 15% | Insurance acceptance, medication availability, pharmacy reliability and shipping speed. |
| Support & experience | 15% | Responsiveness, coaching, app quality and ease of cancellation. |
| Transparency | 5% | Honest pricing, clear terms and absence of dark-pattern upsells. |
Editorial independence
TeleRankedmakes money from optional paid listings: a clinic can claim its profile to manage the information shown, add media and link to its own site. That is the only thing payment affects. It never changes a provider's rank, rating or review. We score and rank every provider the same way whether or not they pay, and a claimed listing earns no editorial advantage of any kind.
How we keep reviews current
Telehealth pricing and offerings change frequently. We re-check the providers in every active roundup on a rolling basis and stamp each article with its last-updated date.
