How telehealth works for you

You get immediate healthcare relief by connecting with licensed healthcare providers through your computer or tablet in just minutes. The frustration of booking appointments weeks in advance disappears when our doctors in Salinas offer same-day appointments available within 15 minutes of booking. Your electronic health records remain accessible anytime through your account, ending the anxiety of lost paperwork. You can add up to 5 family members to one plan and cancel membership anytime online. Telehealth transforms your healthcare journey from stress to confidence by letting you avoid crowded rooms and potential exposure to illness. Whether you're at home in Salinas or traveling across the country, you get consistent care from doctors who know your medical history. For example, if you develop a concerning rash while on vacation, you can video chat with your regular doctor immediately instead of finding an urgent care center. This continuity of care provides both medical accuracy and emotional reassurance.

Salinas patients get care when they need it

Book appointment
PlushCare saves you 3 weeks on average of appointment scheduling by coordinating specialist referrals through your insurance network with headache-free billing integration. Traditional healthcare systems make you feel sick while you wait, but Salinas patients get follow-up appointments scheduled automatically and stop waiting weeks when they need care today.

Our board-certified doctors help Salinas patients get specialist referrals through their insurance and sign doctor notes the same day. You'll know exactly what you'll pay upfront, no surprise bills later.

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!

  • What do virtual doctors charge in Salinas?

    Online doctor visits are more affordable than you might think. Most insured patients pay under $25 or just their regular copay to see our doctors. Without insurance, visits cost $129, which is significantly less than typical clinic fees. You get quality healthcare at a fraction of what traditional offices and urgent care centers charge.

  • What do I need for a telehealth appointment?

    To see a doctor online, choose a time, then meet with one of our licensed doctors through a secure online consultation. Our doctors can diagnose issues, prescribe medication, and answer questions. We treat patients in all 50 states, including California. Appointments are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

  • Can online doctors diagnose health problems accurately?

    Our online doctors diagnose and treat over 3,500 conditions including respiratory infections, skin problems, depression, and diabetes. Virtual care helps manage chronic health needs and prescriptions from anywhere. Our doctors provide full treatment plans and follow-up care. Women can also get support with reproductive health, hormone issues, or birth control. Doctor’s notes are available after your visit if needed.

  • Can I see online doctors without medical insurance?

    You don't need insurance to see our doctors online. We welcome all patients. Most insured patients pay under $25 or just a copay. If you don't have insurance, it’s $129 per visit, often less than a walk-in clinic. We're in-network with major plans and clearly show your cost up front, unlike platforms that charge more or limit who they'll accept.

  • Do online physicians prescribe medications during appointments?

    While you need a doctor consultation for prescription safety, you can easily complete this online through our virtual appointments. Our board-certified doctors connect with you in a secure video visit to discuss your health, then prescribe antibiotics, antidepressants, or other medications. We send prescriptions directly to Salinas pharmacies with same-day availability and prescription discounts up to 80%.

  • Is mental health care available through online doctors?

    Yes, you can get mental health support online with PlushCare. Our board-certified doctors prescribe medications for depression and anxiety, while licensed therapists provide counseling sessions. You receive care from home with prescriptions sent to your Salinas pharmacy. It's more convenient and often costs less than traditional therapy appointments.
