Ondoc vs the ED subscription brands
DTC ED brands spend heavily on ads but do not use insurance. We're the prescribing layer they don't provide.

|---|---|---|---|
| Ondoc | Insurance-first prescribing | Yes | eRx to your pharmacy. No membership required. |
| Hims | Cash-pay subscription | No | Monthly subscription for sildenafil/tadalafil. No insurance billing. |
| Ro (Roman) | Cash-pay subscription | No | Subscription-only model. Doesn't run benefits or coordinate with your pharmacy. |

Get ED treatment online
A licensed clinician evaluates erectile dysfunction by telehealth and sends medication such as sildenafil or tadalafil to your pharmacy when it is the right treatment.
How it works
- Describe when the difficulty started and share your history and current medications.
- The clinician also checks for treatable contributors — blood pressure, blood sugar, testosterone, sleep, mood, and medication effects.
- A PDE5 inhibitor such as sildenafil or tadalafil is sent to your pharmacy, usually as a low-cost generic.
- Follow-up adjusts the dose or investigates further when needed.
Insurance & cost
Use commercial insurance where it is supported, or self-pay at a flat $50 per approved request. Select insurance or self-pay in care discovery to see Ondoc's current payer status before entering personal information. Member-specific eligibility, active status, and benefits are verified by our insurance verification team. Medicaid is not accepted as insurance.
Frequently asked
Will Ondoc bill my insurance for sildenafil or tadalafil?
Yes when your plan covers it. Generic sildenafil and tadalafil are commonly covered. We verify benefits and route to the lowest-cost option — insurance or cash-pay generic, whichever is cheaper.
How is this different from Hims, Ro, or BlueChew?
Those are cash-pay subscriptions. Ondoc is insurance-first: a licensed provider reviews your case, writes an eRx to your pharmacy, and bills your plan when possible. No membership required.
Do I need a video visit?
Usually no. For straightforward ED requests, asynchronous review by a licensed provider is enough. Video is offered if your prescriber needs to clarify cardiovascular history or interactions.
Is generic sildenafil as good as Viagra?
Yes — same active ingredient, same FDA bioequivalence standard. Generic is what most patients receive even when 'Viagra' is prescribed.
Can I get this if I take nitrates or have heart disease?
Nitrates are a contraindication. A licensed provider reviews your cardiovascular history and medication list before writing the eRx. If PDE5 isn't safe, we'll tell you.
