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!

Virtual primary care questions explained

Find answers about how to see doctors online, what insurance covers, prescription availability, diagnosis capabilities, and mental health services through our virtual care platform.

What do telehealth doctor visits charge in Bakersfield?
With insurance, most patients pay under $25 or just their copay for a visit. Without insurance, it's $129 per appointment. Compared to urgent care or walk-in clinics, our pricing is lower and includes access to top licensed doctors in all 50 states. You save time and money while getting full medical support online, anytime you need it.
How do I access online primary care services?
Seeing a doctor online is simple. Choose a time that works for you, then meet with one of our licensed doctors by secure video. They can answer your questions, provide a diagnosis, and send prescriptions to your pharmacy. Our doctors treat patients in all 50 states and are available every day, so getting care when you need it is easy.
Can virtual care doctors diagnose health conditions?

Our virtual primary care doctors know what to look for and how to help.
Can I get virtual primary care without coverage?
You can see our doctors online with or without insurance. PlushCare works with most major health plans, so insured patients usually pay only their copay or less than $25.

Our comprehensive insurance acceptance and fair pricing make quality healthcare accessible to everyone, unlike some platforms with limited options.
Can virtual physicians prescribe medications through video calls?
A medical consultation is required by law before receiving prescriptions, though you can do this online through PlushCare. Our doctors handle everything from antibiotics to blood pressure medications during virtual visits. Most appointments happen the same day, including holidays. After your consultation, prescriptions go directly to Bakersfield pharmacies.
