Medical care

PlushCare is a general telehealth practice. You book a video visit with a board-certified physician, who can prescribe weight-loss medication if it's appropriate and send it to your pharmacy.

Pricing

Visits cost $129 each, and insurance may cover them. The optional membership is $19.99 a month. Medication is paid separately at the pharmacy; Wegovy starts around $199 a month. Prices were checked in September 2026; confirm current pricing on the provider's site.

Who it's best for

People who want a real doctor's appointment and plan to use insurance, and who don't need an app or coaching program.

Our verdict

Video visits with board-certified physicians licensed in all 50 states, with an optional low-cost membership and prescriptions sent to your pharmacy. A licensed clinician decides whether a GLP-1 medication is appropriate, and results vary from person to person.
