Telehealth questions and answers

Browse our FAQ for complete information about telehealth services. We cover online doctor costs, insurance requirements, prescription availability, and mental health care to help you choose confidently.

  • How much do telehealth appointments cost?

    Online doctor prices vary widely, but PlushCare keeps pricing simple and fair. With insurance, most patients pay just $25 or their regular copay to see our doctors. Without insurance, appointments cost $129, which saves you money compared to urgent care or clinic visits that can run $200-400. You get quality care from licensed physicians at a fraction of traditional healthcare costs.
  • How do I schedule remote doctor visits?

    Connecting with our virtual primary care doctors takes three simple steps. Create your account, share your symptoms through our secure platform, then meet with one of our licensed general practitioners via video call. Our doctors evaluate your condition, provide professional medical advice, and prescribe treatment when appropriate. With 24/7 availability across all 50 states, quality healthcare fits your schedule, not the other way around.
  • Can telehealth doctors provide a diagnosis?

    Yes, our online doctors provide medical diagnoses through virtual consultations. You get the same care from physicians who can diagnose and treat over 3,500 conditions remotely. Whether you need help with bacterial infections, chronic disease management, mental health support, or women's health concerns like family planning, our virtual primary care doctors deliver diagnosis and treatment services including prescriptions and doctor notes for school or work.
  • Is insurance required to see a doctor online?

    Insurance isn't required to see our virtual doctors. We accept both insured and uninsured patients. With most major insurance plans, you pay $25 or your copay. Without insurance, visits cost $129. This pricing is lower than most traditional medical offices while providing the same quality care from our doctors.
  • Do online doctors provide prescription services during video calls?

    You can't get prescription medication online without a doctor consultation. Millions of people use our virtual appointments instead of visiting clinics though. Our doctors talk with you by video, write your prescription, and send it to your pharmacy. Same-day appointments available evenings and weekends, plus save up to 80% on medications.
  • Can virtual doctors handle both counseling and prescriptions?

    Yes, getting mental health care online creates a great experience where healing happens in your most comfortable space. Our board-certified doctors prescribe antidepressants and anxiety medications while our licensed therapists provide counseling sessions surrounded by your favorite things. You'll receive personalized treatment plans and get medications delivered to your local pharmacy affordably.
