Common Reasons

Get a doctor's note for the following reasons:

  • Work

  • School

  • Daycare/Childcare

  • Disability Accommodations

  • Legal Purposes

  • Insurance Claims

  • Travel Purposes

  • Family Leave

  • Injury

Our doctors prioritize helping you safely and effectively. However, not all situations qualify for a note, and sometimes multiple visits may be necessary to fully evaluate and treat the underlying condition related to the note. This is particularly true for long-term excuses, jury duty, leave, or disability. Our physicians are trained to educate you on which situations may or may not be appropriate for online doctor’s notes.

Real experiences from people who found the care they needed

  • If you don’t feel like leaving the house and need a quick doctor’s note, this is the perfect opportunity for those with an HSA card and insurance. […] I had a great experience and will continue to use this site for future doctor visits. Thank you, PlushCare. You saved my job, and the doctors are extremely knowledgeable.

    E.M

  • Wow... I really can't give a better review than 5 stars? I would if I could. Needed a doctor appointment and was able to get a real doctor in less than five minutes! I was able to tell him what I needed help with and got the results I needed. Did I mention it was covered by my insurance 100 percent and my prescription was filled at CVS within 10 minutes? oh and if you don't have insurance it is only 129 dollars... Just awesome.

    • Primary Care
    Anneliese P. Santa Barbara, CA

  • Booked an appointment to get a refill/dosage change for managing a chronic condition since I've moved away from my regular PCP, and the process was seamless. The doctor took a look at my recent lab results, confirmed my suspicions, and wrote me a new prescription right away. She also spent time thoroughly answering my questions in an understandable way. I probably spent more time with the Plushcare doctor than my own rather harried PCP. Plus, the labwork she ordered was extremely affordable without insurance. Would definitely use this service again!

    • Chronic Care Managment
    Jenny W. Durham, NC

  • Wow. Wow. Wow. This is so easy and quick. I had a cold virus that turned into a sinus infection. I pulled over on my way to a meeting to video chat w a doctor. He was attentive, kind, and efficient. After a few questions, he diagnosed my ailment. The call took less than 10 mins. Prescription was at the pharmacy later that day. I will be a client for a long time. Thank you.

Your questions answered

Everything you need to know before getting started

A caring doctor is waiting to help you meet your health goals.

Doctor's notes are available at no extra charge beyond your membership sign-up and your visit cost. 

If the doctor determines that a medical excuse is appropriate, it will be sent to you via email after your appointment.

Yes, you can. PlushCare offers the convenience of online prescriptions, allowing you to consult with a physician directly through our platform. Our doctors will assess your needs and prescribe the appropriate medication if necessary. You can then pick up your prescription at your preferred pharmacy. Prescriptions are provided at the doctor’s discretion.

A doctor's note for work performs three critical tasks:

- Verifies the necessity of your visit

- Recommends the length of absence necessary

- Mentions any special accommodations you may need to return to work

To get help quickly, schedule an online appointment with one of our experienced doctors for a video visit. If a prescription is needed, it will be sent electronically to your preferred pharmacy. Electronic doctor's notes are provided at the doctor's discretion after reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and current medications.

Online doctors at PlushCare 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.
