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!

Understanding online primary care

Explore our FAQ section for clear answers about virtual care pricing, insurance acceptance, prescription options, mental health services, and how our online doctor appointments work.

  • How much are telehealth appointments in Elmira?

    Healthcare costs shouldn't be a mystery. Our online doctor appointments cost insured patients $25 or their copay to meet with licensed physicians. Uninsured patients pay $129 per visit, significantly less than traditional clinic fees or urgent care centers. You get transparent pricing and quality medical care without hidden charges or billing surprises.

  • Can I see a doctor online today?

    Connecting with an online primary care doctor starts with a quick registration process. Share your symptoms and medical history, then meet with our licensed general practitioners through secure video or phone calls. Our doctors evaluate your condition, provide accurate diagnoses, and prescribe medications when needed. These board-certified physicians serve patients nationwide and remain available around the clock for your healthcare needs.

  • Do telehealth physicians offer diagnostic services?

    Our online doctors can diagnose you for most health problems that don't need hands-on exams. We treat things like UTIs, flu symptoms, anxiety, high blood pressure, and birth control needs. Our doctors handle thousands of conditions through video appointments and write prescriptions when required. You can also get a doctor's note if need for work or school.

  • Can I see a doctor online without insurance?

    Our doctors accept patients with and without health insurance coverage. If you have insurance, visits typically cost $25 or your copay amount. Patients without insurance pay $129 per appointment, which costs far less than most clinic visits. We work with major insurance providers and maintain transparent pricing to ensure healthcare remains accessible for all patients.

  • Can my doctor prescribe medications during our virtual appointment?

    Getting prescriptions online requires a medical consultation. Our board-certified physicians conduct thorough evaluations and issue prescriptions during virtual appointments. Your medication reaches your selected pharmacy within minutes of completion. We maintain availability during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Our members save up to 80% on prescription costs through our discount program.

  • Can I receive mental health care from an online doctor?

    Online mental health support is available through PlushCare's dual approach. Our board-certified primary care doctors prescribe mental health medications, and our licensed therapists conduct online counseling sessions. To recap the benefits, you get personalized treatment from home, lower costs than in-person care, and prescriptions sent to your pharmacy in Elmira. We match you with the right provider for your needs.
