How the program is structured

A general primary-care telehealth service where a board-certified physician can evaluate, prescribe, and monitor FDA-approved weight-management medications. Membership, visits, medication, and labs are separate cost layers.

GLP.directory checked the cited public sources on Sep 13, 2026. We reviewed published access, cost, care, fulfilment, funding, cancellation, monitoring, and switching details; we have not audited individual clinical encounters, prescriptions, pharmacy operations, or outcomes.

Availability can change by state, clinician, medical history, product, pharmacy, inventory, and insurance plan. “Not publicly confirmed” means we did not find a sufficiently specific answer in the cited public material. Confirm the current patient-specific answer before paying or changing care.

Research confidence Medium Confidence reflects public-source specificity, not clinical quality.

Important: “Compounded” means the product is not FDA approved. A brand approved for one condition is not automatically approved for another. The treating clinician determines whether any prescription is appropriate.

State-by-state availability

  • Same-day virtual appointments are advertised seven days a week across a broad US footprint.
  • Clinician licensure and medication access remain state-specific.

Clinician access and follow-up cadence

  • Board-certified primary-care physicians conduct visits and ongoing medication management.
  • Follow-up frequency is determined by the physician and prescription needs, not a bundled fixed program calendar.

Pharmacy and fulfillment

  • Prescriptions are sent to the patient’s chosen or covered retail pharmacy.
  • Medication is not represented as a PlushCare-bundled shipment.

Insurance and prior authorization

  • PlushCare accepts many insurance plans for visits and can support prescriptions.
  • Medical-visit network status does not establish pharmacy-benefit coverage; prior authorization and copay are separate.

Cancellation, refund, and commitment

  • Membership cancellation does not cancel scheduled visits or pharmacy prescriptions automatically.
  • Confirm visit cancellation windows and membership renewal separately.

Labs, monitoring, and dose management

  • A physician may order labs through ordinary laboratory channels.
  • Labs are separate from membership and medication price.

Maintenance and switching

  • Primary-care clinicians may consider refills or continuation after evaluating records.
  • Send the medication, dose, indication, last fill, and recent labs before assuming continuity.

Open evidence gaps

  • Guaranteed prior-authorization timeline
  • State-by-product table
  • Fixed follow-up cadence

Questions to ask before paying

  1. What is the ordinary recurring total after any introductory period?
  2. Does that total include clinician care, medication, supplies, labs, and shipping?
  3. Which clinician group and dispensing pharmacy will be responsible for my care?
  4. What happens to billing if I am not prescribed the advertised treatment?
  5. What records and timing do you require if I am switching from another provider?
