Telehealth versus traditional primary care

Traditional primary care forces you into crowded offices with unpredictable costs, but telehealth connects you with board-certified healthcare providers through your computer or tablet. Our doctors in Hayward deliver the same clinical outcomes as in-person visits for over 90% of common conditions while managing chronic conditions without office visits. You pay predictable costs instead of surprise medical bills that arrive weeks later, and medication reminders come through our integrated pharmacy network. Board-certified physicians bring their medical training and expertise directly to your device, treating everything from diabetes management to acute infections. Behind the scenes, our doctors review your complete medical history before each appointment, coordinate with specialists when needed, and maintain detailed records of your care. For example, if you have both high blood pressure and diabetes, your PlushCare doctor monitors both conditions during single appointments, adjusts medications as needed, and sends prescription refills to your pharmacy automatically.

Complete healthcare for Hayward families

Other telehealth platforms charge per message and abandon you between visits. PlushCare provides unlimited in-app messaging with flat-rate visits for uninsured patients, building from basic consultations to comprehensive health management. Hayward patients access electronic health records anytime while we complete medical history reviews before first appointments, getting forms signed the same day they need them.

Your telehealth medical team

Our board-certified doctors in Hayward can see you within 15 minutes and sign doctor notes today. They provide careful treatment and genuinely care about getting you the help you need.

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!

Answers to your virtual visit questions

Our FAQ covers key questions about seeing an online doctor, including cost, insurance use, prescription support, mental health care, and how our doctors diagnose and treat common conditions.
  • Our online doctor costs are designed to be budget-friendly. With insurance, most patients pay less than $25 or their standard copay for consultations. Uninsured patients pay $129 per visit, considerably lower than average clinic prices. This transparent pricing saves you money while providing the same quality care you'd receive in person.
  • Book a visit, connect through a private online session, and talk to one of our licensed primary care doctors. Our doctors diagnose conditions, write prescriptions, and create treatment plans. We provide care in every state, including California, and offer appointments any time, day or night. The process is reliable and easy to follow from home.
  • Yes, our online doctors can diagnose many common health issues like sore throats, ear infections, anxiety, and eczema. Virtual visits also help with prescriptions and chronic care. Our doctors treat over 3,500 conditions and create care plans with follow-up. Women's health support is available too, including birth control, hormone questions, and reproductive concerns. Doctor’s notes can be shared during your visit if needed.
  • You can see our doctors online whether you have insurance or not. Most patients with insurance pay less than $25 or just a copay. If you're uninsured, the cost is $129, often below what urgent care would charge. We work with most major insurance plans and provide clear pricing before your visit, something many telehealth services don't always offer.
  • Yes, you can get prescriptions online, but a doctor consultation is required by law first. Our board-certified physicians with 15 years experience handle this through quick virtual appointments. We write prescriptions for antibiotics, birth control, and chronic medications, then send them directly to your pharmacy. Same-day appointments available evenings and weekends, plus save 80% with our discount card.
  • Mental health support is available online through PlushCare. Our board-certified primary care doctors handle medication management for depression, anxiety, and other conditions, while licensed therapists offer counseling sessions. You get personalized treatment from home with prescriptions delivered to your Hayward pharmacy. This approach provides comfort and affordability.
