Better healthcare through telehealth visits

Telehealth connects you with licensed healthcare providers through your computer or tablet, delivering both convenience and medical excellence. Our doctors in Escondido coordinate specialist referrals through your insurance network using our HIPAA-compliant platform with bank-level security. Quality care means getting the right specialist at the right time through the right insurance coverage. Your care plans are delivered digitally with step-by-step instructions, ensuring you understand every aspect of your treatment. Excellence in telehealth means getting doctor notes signed the same day you need them. Quality telehealth provides better coordination than typical office visits while maintaining the highest medical standards. For example, if you need both a cardiologist referral and diabetes management, our doctors handle both seamlessly through secure video consultations. You receive comprehensive care plans that guide you through each step of your treatment, from medication schedules to specialist appointments. Quality care means never having to chase down paperwork or wonder about your next steps in treatment.

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!

Questions about virtual care services

Our FAQ covers everything you need to know about virtual primary care, from appointment costs and insurance to prescriptions, diagnoses, and mental health services.
  • While urgent care visits can cost hundreds of dollars, our online doctor consultations are far more affordable. Most insured patients pay under $25 or their copay to see our doctors. Without insurance, visits cost $129, much less than typical clinics charge. Why pay more when you can get quality healthcare for less?
  • To see a doctor online, book an appointment, then meet with one of our licensed doctors through a secure virtual session on your computer or tablet. Our doctors can answer questions, diagnose health concerns, and prescribe medication. We offer care across all 50 states, including California, and are available every day, all year. The process is direct and built to fit your schedule.
  • Our online doctors can diagnose you for over 3,500 conditions. That includes care for respiratory infections, skin problems, mental health symptoms, and chronic illnesses. We handle bacterial infections, cold and flu, and help manage prescriptions and refills. Women’s health care is part of the service, including support for birth control, hormone shifts, and reproductive needs. A doctor’s note can be provided when needed.
  • You don't need insurance to see our doctors online. We accept both insured and uninsured patients. Most insured patients pay under $25 or just a copay. If you're uninsured, it’s $129 per visit, which is lower than most walk-in clinics. We're in-network with major plans and show costs upfront, unlike other platforms with higher fees or limited insurance options.
  • While prescriptions require a doctor consultation by law, this happens easily through our online platform via secure virtual visits. Our experienced physicians handle prescription refills for medications like antidepressants and birth control, then send them straight to your pharmacy. Same-day appointments are available including holidays, with visits lasting just 15 minutes and savings up to 80% on medications.
  • Yes, you can get mental health care online through PlushCare. Our primary doctors handle medication, and licensed therapists provide video sessions. Appointments are done from home, often cost less, and prescriptions go to your Escondido pharmacy. We offer full support with care that works for your schedule and your wallet.
