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!

Virtual doctor visit questions explained

Find answers to questions about virtual primary care costs, how to see doctors online, prescription availability, insurance requirements, and mental health services we provide.

  • How much are virtual primary care appointments in Riverside?

    Most patients with insurance pay less than $25 for online doctor consultations, usually their standard copay. Uninsured appointments cost $129, considerably lower than urgent care centers averaging $300 per visit. Our board-certified physicians provide comprehensive medical care at transparent rates, helping you avoid unexpected facility charges common in traditional healthcare settings.

  • Can I book a virtual doctor visit immediately?

    Connecting with our doctors online is simple. Schedule your appointment on our platform, then meet with a licensed physician through video or phone call. Our board-certified doctors can diagnose your condition, answer medical questions, and send prescriptions to your pharmacy. This virtual care gives you professional medical treatment from home.

  • Do virtual doctors diagnose conditions through video calls?

    Our board-certified online doctors diagnose over 3,500 conditions including respiratory infections, UTIs, mental health concerns, chronic diseases, and women's health issues such as birth control, hormone support, and reproductive care. Our virtual primary care doctors conduct assessments via video consultations, prescribe medications, provide doctors note documentation, and create treatment plans based on your symptoms.

  • Is coverage required for virtual doctor visits?

    No insurance is needed to see our doctors online. PlushCare accepts all patients and provides transparent pricing for both scenarios. Insured patients typically pay their copay or under $25 per visit. Those without coverage pay $129, much less than clinic fees. We're in-network with major health plans, offering accessibility that sets us apart from restrictive competitors.

  • Will online primary care doctors prescribe medicines remotely?

    Yes, you need to talk to a doctor first, but PlushCare makes it easy. You can book a phone or video visit without leaving home. Our doctors send prescriptions straight to your local pharmacy and help with everything from refills to follow-ups. Many patients get same-day care, even on weekends, and save money with our discount card.

  • Is emotional support included in telehealth visits?

    Absolutely. PlushCare connects you with licensed therapists for online counseling and board-certified physicians for mental health medications. This combination approach treats both therapy needs and medication management from your home. It typically costs less than in-person visits while offering complete privacy. Prescriptions reach Riverside pharmacies within hours, so you can begin treatment immediately.
