Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Doctor on Demand
- Out-of-pocket costs without insurance: urgent care $99, therapy $134, psychiatry $299 per visit; no subscription model disclosed
- Limited scope: urgent care only for non-emergency conditions; does not handle hospital-level care or complex surgeries
Paige
- The FDA authorisation is confined to prostate core needle biopsies, on compatible scanners, viewed through FullFocus, as an adjunct only; every other tissue type and every grading claim is outside that authorisation in the United States.
- The algorithm is worthless without a digital pathology programme already running, and slide scanning, storage and workflow typically cost far more than the software licence.
- Tempus acquired Paige in 2025, so the roadmap now competes for attention inside a genomics-led business, and the pathology-only buyer is no longer the primary customer.
- Scanner compatibility is a hard constraint rather than a preference, and a laboratory with an unsupported scanner fleet cannot use the authorised indication at all.
- Pricing is per case or per slide and unpublished, so a laboratory cannot model cost per reported case without entering a sales process.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Doctor on Demand: Is there a membership fee or subscription required?
No subscription or membership is required. The platform operates on a pay-per-visit model with no ongoing fees, and no credit card is needed to create an account.
SourcePaige: What exactly is FDA authorised?
Paige Prostate Detect, as an adjunct for identifying areas of interest on digitised prostate core needle biopsy slides, viewed through the Paige FullFocus viewer on a compatible scanner. Nothing else in the portfolio holds that authorisation in the United States.
Doctor on Demand: How much does an urgent care visit cost for uninsured patients?
An uninsured patient pays $99 for a 15-minute urgent care consultation. Costs are displayed before booking so you know the price upfront.
SourcePaige: Is the European position broader?
Yes. The Paige Prostate suite including grading and quantification received IVDR certification in 2025, which covers more than the United States authorisation.
Doctor on Demand: What are the therapy and psychiatry session rates?
Psychology consultations are $134 for 25 minutes or $184 for 50 minutes. Initial psychiatry consultations are $299 for 45 minutes, with 15-minute follow-ups at $129.
SourcePaige: What did the pivotal study measure?
Pathologist cancer detection on individual slide images improved, with reported reductions in false negative and false positive readings. It measured pathologist performance with the tool, not standalone algorithm accuracy.
Doctor on Demand: Can I use my insurance to reduce costs?
Yes, Doctor on Demand accepts 30+ major insurance plans including UnitedHealth, Humana, and Blue Cross variants. Insured visits may be $0 depending on your plan, or range from $0 to $296.64 for psychiatry depending on your coverage.
