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.

Why patients choose us

Get your annual wellness exam from home, skip the paperwork, and access your full medical history anytime. 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. Now, premium virtual primary care is just a click away.

Meet your doctors

Our board-certified doctors bring expert medical training and years of experience to every virtual visit. We provide full primary care online to patients with wellness exams, follow-up care, and clear pricing from the start.

Convenience especially when I need immediate medical care is the reason for my choice in having a Plush care Dr. As my primary care Dr. In, addition my Dr. Is professional, polite and always listens to what I have to say & involving me in the medical plan.

I have been using PlushCare for 2 years now and have never had a bad experience. I wish I could say the same about doctors I have seen in person. They always listen, recommend, and follow up. Reminders are a must for me and they come in email and text. I can pull up any of my tests and doctors notes on the app. The convenience of anytime doctors is amazing! I have even used them when traveling across country.

It's a wonderful service! It's very difficult to schedule a visit with a primary care doctor in my area, everyone is booked out months. Waiting months is difficult if your doc wants to meet in person to prescribe you your daily meds! For me it's depression meds which are critical for my functioning. Having a PlushCare doc meet you at your convenience virtually for 5 minutes to simply send a prescription to your pharmacy is a godsend!

This is my second time using PlusCare in the past 10 months and it has been a very easy process and both Drs were very responsive and easy to work with. Sure beats waiting in long lines at a local facility!

Common questions. Reliable answers.

Find clear answers to common questions about online doctor costs, insurance, prescriptions, mental health support, and more in our FAQ section. Learn what to expect before booking care.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
