I first started using PlushCare for treatment for anxiety. Dr Beaumont was very knowledgeable and helpful. We went through a couple of medications at first and we eventually found one that works for me. I can’t thank her enough she changed my life for the better and helped me find myself again. You cannot go wrong with this app, find a doctor that works for you, it’s very easy to schedule an appointment at your convenience and you can comfortably stay at home and avoid the wait. This app is fantastic and I’m grateful it’s around.

I ran out of my normal anxiety medicine and my therapist had not answered my phone calls or emails for the past few weeks. Panicking, I googled how to get a refill and PlushCare came up. Within an hour, I had an appointment, got my prescription filled, and my anxiety level dropped amazingly. This is a great service and I would highly recommend to anyone who needed their medicine filled.

I’ve found PlushCare so helpful over the past year. In March 2021, when I finally realized I needed to try taking medication for OCD, anxiety, and depression, I didn’t feel comfortable going in-person to a new doctor (COVID, social anxiety, general nervousness around medical professionals). The doctor I saw made me feel so comfortable. She explained why she believed the medications she prescribed would work for me, made sure I was informed about potential side-effects, and listened with compassion. Our appointments are speedy, but I never feel rushed or as though I don’t have time to ask questions. I didn’t anticipate sticking with PlushCare for over a year, but I have such good rapport with the doctor I see that I can’t imagine ditching the service any time soon. My BCBS plan covers my PlushCare appointments, making this a super affordable and convenient solution.

PlushCare is the first time I've felt completely heard by a medical professional. In the almost three months since starting to work w/my PlushCare team, my mental health has drastically changed for the better. I've tried other telehealth services, and I recommend PlushCare over all of them.

Online mental health medication services are more convenient, comfortable, and affordable than in-person doctor visits. Here are just some of the substantial benefits that online mental health doctor visits offer:
Mental health doctor visits can be costly, and some health insurance plans don't fully cover visit or medication costs. Many prescribing physicians in private practice charge the same fee for in-person or online sessions. Our online visits are more affordable than most in-person visits.
With mental health medical visits online, you can speak to a board-certified doctor whenever and wherever you are most comfortable.
In-person doctor visits to request mental health medication often have limited appointment availability. There is also often a wait before your first appointment. If you are seeking emotional support during a difficult time, availability and timeliness are crucial. You can speak to one of our prescribing doctors online and get the support you need as soon as today.
There is no need to take extra time off of work to travel to an in-person appointment. With travel time not being an issue, it is easy to get mental health care that fits your schedule.
If you live in an area where nearby healthcare options are scarce, you can easily access a mental health professional from the comfort and convenience of your home.
Our mental health medication program lets you see a licensed doctor who practices anywhere in the state you live in, so you’re not limited by geography.
Fortunately, the stigma surrounding mental health and getting care for mental health conditions is decreasing. However, with online healthcare platforms, your sessions are simply between you and your doctor.
Online care makes it easy to treat mental disorders with complete privacy if you choose to. The ease of access and scheduling flexibility that comes with online medical visits make it even easier to keep doctor visits private.
With online mental health care, you have access to a diverse selection of board certified doctors, so you can find the one that best fits your needs. Our online doctors have a wide range of expertise in various specialties and treatment modalities within various types of communities.
Our platform makes it easy to get mental health medication and online therapy within the same app. If one of our licensed therapists recommends medication for you, our care team makes it easy to get in contact with one of our board licensed medical doctors.
Our physicians can assist with a mental health diagnosis and prescribe medication. This can save you the effort of having to be referred to a physician outside of the therapy practice and wait a longer time before your first session. Likewise, our prescribing physicians can assist you with a therapy referral.
The cost of an online medical consultation 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 $30 or less to speak with one of our physicians. For self-pay patients, a mental health medication consultation costs $129, and follow-ups are just $69. This is less than the typical cost at an in-person clinic.
Medication does not cure mental illness, however, it can be helpful in making symptoms more manageable. The goal of medication is to reduce your symptoms to a point where they do not severely impact your daily life and to help you return to a functioning level.
No, online therapists cannot prescribe medication. However, our online therapists can refer you to one of our prescribing doctors for a mental health medication consultation within the same platform.
Therapy and medication are both effective in treating mental health concerns, but are most effective when used in combination. If therapy alone is not working for you, it may be helpful to explore mental health medication options in conjunction with your therapy treatment services. Medication can help therapy treatment be even more effective for you.
Yes, you can book an appointment with one of our prescribing doctors without a referral to discuss mental health medication. After an evaluation, our doctors will discuss options with you and send a mental health medication prescription to your local pharmacy, if you qualify.
It can take up to 4 to 8 weeks for mental health medication to fully take effect. If by this time, you have seen little mood improvement or symptoms have become unbearable, speak to your doctor about other medication options.
Some psychiatric medications that doctors commonly prescribe include antidepressant medications, antipsychotic medications, and mood stabilizers. Commonly prescribed antidepressants to treat anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental disorders include selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
You can get mental health medicine by speaking with a board-certified doctor. Our doctors can prescribe mental health medicine online after an initial evaluation. Book an appointment today to get started.
Medicare does offer mental health coverage, including preventative mental health and therapy. Medicare Part B covers preventive mental health services, including depression screenings, alcohol misuse screenings, and wellness visits. It also can cover counseling, individual and group therapy sessions, and mental health evaluation and diagnoses. There are certain eligibility requirements, so make sure to check your health insurance plan for details.
Medicaid does cover mental health services. Coverage varies by state and health insurance plan, so make sure to check with your provider about the services covered in your state.
Counseling services, therapy sessions, social work services, and medication used to treat mental illnesses are all examples of mental health services that could be covered by your Medicaid plan.
