GLP-1s without the runaround

With Teladoc on their General Medical plan, getting a GLP-1 means employer opt-in, program enrollment, and engagement milestones before you can even discuss medication. Plushcare removes every barrier.

Plushcare is how Telehealth should be. I was just about to write off telehealth as a gimmick because the only service I had experienced prior to this is Teladoc, which was practically useless. No matter how simple the issue was, they never seemed to allow their providers to treat or prescribe for it. They'd just shake down my wallet and refer me to my family physician. I have yet to experience any of this with Plushcare. Their providers are nice and service is prompt.

Booked an appointment to get a refill/dosage change for managing a chronic condition since I've moved away from my regular PCP, and the process was seamless. The doctor took a look at my recent lab results, confirmed my suspicions, and wrote me a new prescription right away. She also spent time thoroughly answering my questions in an understandable way. I probably spent more time with the Plushcare doctor than my own rather harried PCP. Plus, the labwork she ordered was extremely affordable without insurance. Would definitely use this service again!

Wow. Wow. Wow. This is so easy and quick. I had a cold virus that turned into a sinus infection. I pulled over on my way to a meeting to video chat w a doctor.

He was attentive, kind, and efficient. After a few questions, he diagnosed my ailment. The call took less than 10 mins.

Prescription was at the pharmacy later that day.

I will be a client for a long time. Thank you.
