How telehealth puts quality care within reach anytime, anywhere

Getting care from a doctor doesn't have to mean sitting in traffic or a waiting room. With telehealth, you can talk to a licensed doctor from your home using your phone, tablet, or computer. This is especially helpful for annual wellness exams that can now be done virtually, saving you time and hassle. You book a visit online, meet with your doctor over secure video, and get help with everything from infections to managing chronic conditions. In San Jose, California, patients benefit from transparent pricing upfront, so there are no surprise bills after your visit. Telehealth combines trusted medical care with real-world convenience. Doctors can send prescriptions straight to your pharmacy, and you can message your Care Team anytime between visits if questions come up. If you need a doctors note for work or school, they can send it to you the same day. It’s all part of a healthcare experience that fits your schedule. With board-certified physicians leading each visit, patients get quality care that feels both personal and practical.

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!

Frequently asked questions

We answer your most pressing questions about online doctor costs, insurance coverage, prescription services, and how virtual primary care appointments work from start to finish.
  • Most insured patients pay less than $25 or just their regular copay to see our online doctors. Without insurance, our virtual appointments cost $129, which is significantly less than urgent care visits that can run $200-400. This transparent pricing includes your full consultation, diagnosis, treatment plan, and prescription services. You get quality primary care at a fraction of traditional healthcare costs.
  • Start by picking a time that fits your schedule. Then meet with one of our licensed doctors through your smartphone or computer. They're trained to diagnose conditions, give advice, and prescribe medications online. PlushCare doctors provide care in all 50 states and are available every day, including weekends and holidays.
  • Yes, an online doctor can diagnose many common conditions. PlushCare physicians are board-certified and can assess over 3,500 issues, including respiratory infections, UTIs, skin concerns, anxiety, and chronic illnesses. They provide full primary care virtually including treatment plans, prescriptions, doctors note for work or school, and follow-ups. You don't need an office visit for thorough, professional care.
  • No insurance? No problem. PlushCare works for both insured and uninsured patients. If you have insurance, your visit usually costs less than $25. Without insurance, it’s a flat $129 per visit. We're in-network with most major plans and more flexible than many platforms that limit coverage or charge more.
  • You must speak with a doctor before getting a prescription, but that can happen quickly online. In San Jose, PlushCare offers same-day virtual visits with board-certified doctors who can prescribe antibiotics, birth control, antidepressants, and more. We send prescriptions to your pharmacy and offer refill support, a discount card, and 15-minute visits, including nights, weekends, and holidays.
  • Yes, you can get mental health support virtually with PlushCare. Our board-certified doctors prescribe medication for anxiety, depression, and more, while licensed therapists offer virtual therapy sessions from the comfort of your home. It’s often more affordable than in-person care, with personalized plans and pharmacy support in San Jose. Getting help is easier than you think, and you don't have to go through it alone.
