Why Albany patients choose telehealth for primary care

You can complete your yearly checkup without driving across town or waiting in crowded offices. Our doctors, all board-certified MDs and DOs, provide the same quality care through video calls that you would receive during an in-person visit. The process starts when you schedule your appointment online, then receive a link to join your video session at the scheduled time. During your exam, our doctors review your medical history, discuss any health concerns, and can even observe certain physical symptoms through the camera.

Managing your healthcare becomes simpler with our integrated system that connects everything you need. Your pharmacy network sends automatic medication reminders straight to your account, so you never miss important doses. All your medical records stay accessible through any device, whether you use your computer or tablet. This means our doctors can quickly review your complete health history during appointments, and you can check test results or treatment plans whenever needed. The combination of qualified medical professionals and user-friendly technology helps you stay on top of your health without the usual hassles of traditional medical appointments.

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!

Online doctor visit basics

We've gathered answers to your most common questions about online healthcare. Our FAQ covers doctor costs, insurance details, prescription services, and mental health support options available.

What's the price for virtual doctor appointments?
Insured patients typically pay $25 or just their copay. Uninsured patients pay $129 for a consultation. That's significantly less than most health clinics and way less than emergency rooms. You get the same quality care, board-certified doctors, and prescription abilities. The difference is convenience and cost savings that actually make sense for your budget.
How do I connect with doctors online?
Seeing our virtual primary care doctors works just like visiting a traditional clinic. You start by creating an account and selecting your preferred appointment time. Licensed primary care doctors then evaluate your symptoms, make professional diagnoses, and prescribe medications by computer during comprehensive online medical consultations. Our virtual doctors remain accessible every day of the year across the entire country.
Can an online doctor make a diagnosis?
Our online doctors diagnose you through virtual appointments. We handle over 3,500 medical conditions including respiratory infections, skin issues, anxiety, depression, and chronic disease management. Our board-certified physicians provide prescriptions, treatment plans, and doctor's notes for work or school. Whether you need STD testing, birth control, hormone management, or family planning services, our virtual primary care doctors deliver complete diagnosis and treatment. So yes, our general practitioners can diagnose you online effectively.
Can I see an online doctor with no insurance?
Insurance isn't required to see our online doctors. We accept all patients regardless of coverage status. With most major insurance plans, you pay $25 or your copay. Without insurance, appointments cost $129 each. This pricing beats most traditional clinic visits while giving you access to quality medical care.
Do online doctors write prescription medications during virtual visits?
You cannot bypass doctor consultations for prescription medication, but you can complete them through our online appointments. After your virtual visit, our board-certified physicians will write your prescription and electronically send it to your chosen pharmacy. This process saves you time, money, and travel while ensuring proper medical care and treatment.
What mental health services are available through telehealth?
Yes, getting therapy online changed everything for people who couldn't access traditional mental care. Our board-certified doctors prescribe antidepressants and anxiety medications while our licensed therapists provide weekly sessions from your home. You'll receive personalized treatment plans, get prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy, and pay less than office visits.
