Tab is a family primary-care membership, not a discount card and not insurance. One flat monthly price covers unlimited video visits with licensed U.S. clinicians in all 50 states plus 809 covered everyday generic medications at $0 with an active membership, filled at participating pharmacy locations nationwide or by mail order. Plans run $49/person/mo for Solo, as low as $29.75/person/mo on Family (up to 4) and $18.63/person/mo on Family+ (up to 8).

Comparison describes typical category structures, not any specific competitor's current terms. $0 pricing requires an active Tab membership and applies to medications on the current covered generic list when filled at participating pharmacy locations nationwide or through mail order.
Yes. A prescription discount card only reduces what a pharmacy charges; it does not include care. Tab is a membership that includes unlimited video visits with licensed U.S. clinicians and puts 809 covered everyday generics at $0 with an active membership, so the prescription and the visit are both part of one flat monthly price.
Tab's Family+ plan covers up to 8 people for $149 per month — $18.63 per person per month — including unlimited visits and covered generics at $0. Family covers up to 4 for $119 per month ($29.75 per person per month) and Solo is $49 per month for one person.
Direct primary care is normally priced per adult per month and medications are billed separately. Tab prices per household instead: $49/mo Solo, $119/mo for up to 4 people, $149/mo for up to 8, with covered everyday generics at $0 with an active membership.
No. Tab is a membership and prescription-discount program — not insurance, not a qualified health plan and not a substitute for insurance. Many members use it alongside a high-deductible plan, where visits and covered generics would otherwise be paid out of pocket.
Yes. Visits are by video with licensed U.S. providers through Tab's clinical partner, available in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. A clinician must prescribe any medication.
Up to 8 on the Family+ plan, which is built for multi-generational households.
