Online primary care appointments

Get same-day appointments within 15 minutes of booking with our board-certified physicians licensed in your area. We automatically schedule your follow-up appointments while providing quick answers about concerning any symptoms. Our process connects you directly with experienced doctors who understand your need for immediate, trustworthy medical care.

What is primary care?

Primary care is about more than just managing health conditions; it's about building a relationship with a doctor who understands your unique health needs. During a virtual primary care appointment, you can expect a thorough check-in that goes beyond the basics. Your doctor may ask about your daily habits, like exercise, sleep, or alcohol use, screen for things like depression, and talk through any concerns you have. They'll also review your medical and family history, recommend screenings based on your age, and may order lab work if needed. Our board-certified doctors are able to treat many symptoms online. However, after evaluating your symptoms, they can refer you to a specialist for in-person treatment if needed.

PlushCare's HIPAA-compliant platform keeps your records secure, and follow-ups are scheduled for you. Los Angeles patients trust our board-certified doctors for care once only found in clinics.

  • Can I do a primary care visit online?

    Yes, many primary care visits can be done online using your smartphone, tablet, or computer. PlushCare allows you to meet with board-certified doctors virtually for routine health concerns, medication refills, chronic condition check-ins, and more. If your provider believes in-person care is needed, they'll refer you appropriately. Using the PlushCare app, you can log into your appointment quickly and easily to speak to your provider on your smartphone. If you would rather not download the app, you can use another device that allows you to conduct a video visit such as a tablet or computer.
  • Will my insurance cover primary care visits?

    Before booking any healthcare appointment, it's important to understand the potential costs involved. PlushCare accepts most major insurance plans (please note that Medicaid is not currently accepted), but insurance is not required to use our telehealth services. If you're uninsured, you will be responsible for covering the full cost out of pocket. On average, patients with insurance pay about $30 per visit, while those without insurance typically pay around $129. If your doctor prescribes medication, PlushCare partners with SingleCare to offer a Prescription Discount Card, which can help you save up to 80% on your prescriptions. We also offer access to discounted lab work and at-home test kits, making it easier to stay informed about your health while keeping costs manageable
  • What's the difference between primary care and urgent care?

    Urgent care handles immediate, non-life-threatening issues like minor injuries or sudden illness. Primary care, on the other hand, focuses on long-term, comprehensive health, including prevention, chronic disease management, and continuity of care. Your primary care provider becomes your healthcare home base. We offer a wide range of services, including men's and women's health, mental health, chronic conditions, sexual health, weight loss, and pediatric care. Patients in all 50 states can easily book appointments to discuss their health concerns with a board-certified physician.
  • Do I need insurance to see a doctor online?

    You do not need insurance to see a doctor online with PlushCare. We welcome both insured and uninsured patients, with most insured paying less than $25 or just their copay. If you do not have insurance, visits are $129, often lower than urgent care or clinic costs. Unlike many platforms, we offer flexible access and clear pricing no matter your coverage.
  • Can I get a prescription online without seeing a doctor?

    Yes, you can get a prescription online, but a doctor must first review your symptoms in a virtual visit. At PlushCare, our board-certified doctors provide same-day appointments, write prescriptions for common conditions, and send them to your pharmacy in Los Angeles. We offer short wait times, prescription discounts, and easy follow-ups, making care faster and often more affordable than urgent care or in-person clinics.
  • Can I get mental health support online?

    Yes, you can get mental health support online through PlushCare. Our board-certified doctors prescribe medications for depression, anxiety, and more, while licensed therapists offer personalized therapy sessions. You can meet with your provider from home, get prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy, and pay less than most in-person visits. With care that fits your life, you do not have to face difficult feelings alone.
