    • Amazing doctors!

      5 stars

      So happy I came across this app. I have a cold and I didn’t want to spend two hours at urgent care. I was able to get an appointment the same day. Doctor was very friendly and efficient and the best thing is I didn’t have to leave my home.

    • Plushcare Please Don't Change A Thing!

      5 stars

      I came to Plushcare for routine meds when COVID first hit, but have now chosen a primary care physician who is the kindest, most concerned and helpful doctor I have ever worked with.

    • Very convenient from the comfort of…

      5 stars

      Very convenient from the comfort of your home, and flexible appointment availability! The doctor actually made the right (and critical) diagnosis and sent me to my specialist, who confirmed her online diagnosis. Very, very satisfied.

    • Five star service from the comfort of my home

      5 stars

      I was debating whether going to an Emergency room or having a dispatch physician come to my home for an eye infection. I have a toddler and with everything going on with Covid I couldn’t take the chances of going to the ER. After some research I came across PlushCare — the doctor was extremely knowledgeable and he sent my prescription to the pharmacy even before we finished our call.

      T.R., Jan 2022

    • My fantastic experience with Plush Care!

      5 stars

      My experience with Plush Care was amazing. I was able to get an appointment within 30 min of first logging in & my physician was extremely helpful & knowledgeable. I have already shared my experience with family & friends. It was the most relaxed, convenient appointment I've ever had & will definitely be using this service again.

    Online doctor benefits

    Online doctor visits are more convenient, comfortable, and accessible than traditional in-person visits. Learn just some of the ways an online doctor can make your life easier, offering many benefits and providing top quality healthcare that works around you.

  • Accessible healthcare, wherever you are

    Accessible healthcare, wherever you are

    With an online doctor, you can access medical care anywhere with a stable Internet connection. Being able to talk to a doctor online on your phone or computer means that you have more choices for care and treatment, especially if you are in a remote area or not currently near a medical facility or urgent care center.

    You can also book a virtual doctor appointment while traveling domestically, saving you from having to look for a doctor in an unfamiliar location. We offer easy access to virtual primary care nationwide, with our licensed online doctors available to help patients in all 50 U.S. states.

  • Convenient care that fits your schedule

    Convenient care that fits your schedule

    One of the advantages of virtual doctors is that online doctor appointments offer greater convenience and scheduling flexibility. A telehealth appointment means no more waiting rooms or time-consuming commutes. We often have same-day online medical consultations available, allowing you to find a time that works for your busy schedule.

    Our doctors are typically available 24/7, including evenings, weekends, and holidays. Convenient telehealth services empower you to get the personalized care and medical assistance you need, whenever you need it.

  • Faster prescriptions, refills, and referrals

    Faster prescriptions, refills, and referrals

    During your online doctor telemedicine visit, you can request prescriptions, refills, and referrals right when you need them, conveniently, from your phone or computer. During an online medical consultation with one of our licensed, board-certified doctors, they will review your medical history and work with you to discuss treatment options.

    If prescribed, your doctor will electronically send your prescription medication or refill straight to your local pharmacy for pick up. Our doctors can also easily order tests to a lab near you or refer you for further care with a local specialist.

  • Timely, accessible preventive and ongoing care

    Timely, accessible preventive and ongoing care

    The convenience and accessibility of online care makes it easy to take advantage of preventive care and address symptoms and concerns before they become larger health issues. Simply meet with your doctor online whenever and wherever it is convenient for you to access preventive care benefits, often free of cost with health insurance, saving you a trip to the doctor’s office.

    You can choose the best PlushCare physician for your medical needs and continue to see them, making it easy to manage ongoing conditions on your schedule. Conveniently keep track of your health, progress, and medical information since you can access your records online at any time.

  • High quality doctors

    High quality doctors

    Telehealth provides patients with greater access to high quality care and treatment from highly trained medical professionals. We are proud to offer virtual primary care from the nation’s top doctors. All of our doctors have graduated from the top 50 U.S. medical schools.


    Our licensed, board-certified physicians are highly qualified, with an average of 15 years of experience. Our online doctors have unique medical expertise in helping patients by providing telehealth consultations, diagnoses, care plans, and prescriptions if needed.

  • Affordable care, regardless of insurance status

    Affordable care, regardless of insurance status

    Whether you have health insurance or not, online doctor visits are much more affordable than the average in-person doctor's visit. We accept most major health insurance plans, so our patients' online doctor consultations are typically $30 or less. For self-pay patients, a new online doctor visit is $129 and follow-ups are just $69. This is well below the typical in-person visit cost.

  • Online doctor FAQs

    • How much does an online doctor cost?

      The cost of an online doctor will vary depending on the telehealth platform and your insurance status. We accept patients with or without insurance. Most patients with in-network insurance pay just $30 to speak with one of our physicians. For self-pay patients, an online doctor appointment costs $129, and follow-ups are just $69. This is less than the typical cost at an in-person clinic.

    • How do I see a doctor online?

      You can see a doctor online by using a telehealth platform like ours. Our world-class doctors can answer your medical questions, make a professional diagnosis, and prescribe medications by phone or computer after an online medical consultation.

      Our licensed doctors can treat patients in all 50 states, are available 24/7, 360 days a year, and are all graduates from the top 50 U.S. medical schools.

    • Can an online doctor diagnose you?

      Yes, an online doctor can diagnose you. Online doctors work great for treating non-emergency conditions such as minor bacterial infections, the cold and flu, and many mental health conditions. They are also useful for managing chronic conditions and getting prescriptions filled and refilled, without having to go to a doctor’s office in person.

    • Do I need insurance to see an online doctor?

      Whether or not you need health insurance to see an online doctor will depend on the telehealth platform. We accept patients with or without health insurance. If you do not have in-network health insurance, you can still book an appointment with one of our board certified online doctors and receive treatment. For self-pay patients, we charge a fee of $129 for new patient appointments and $69 for follow-ups.

    • Can an online doctor write a prescription?

      You need to have a consultation with a medical doctor before you can receive prescription medication. This can be done through an online doctor appointment via phone or video chat. If the doctor decides that you may benefit from a prescription, they will electronically send one to the pharmacy of your choice.

      Our online doctors can write prescriptions and prescription refills and will electronically send your prescription to the pharmacy of your choice, following your online appointment. They can also provide you with a doctor’s note, if necessary.
