PlushCare

Evidence-sourced
Written and fact-checked to our published editorial standards.Last updated 2026-09-10. Every clinical claim on this page is sourced to a named primary authority, listed at the foot of the page — see how we research, source, and correct our work.

A general telehealth primary-care platform (urgent care, mental health, weight management) that layers weight-loss prescribing on top of ordinary insurance-based visits, rather than a single-purpose GLP-1 subscription.

This is not a review

We have not personally used PlushCare, so we are not rating quality of care, wait times, or customer service. What follows is PlushCare’s own published terms, checked against independent reporting where we found it. See our full methodology on the provider directory.

What that adds up to

Adding up what PlushCare does publish gives at least $149 a month, but that is a floor rather than a total: medication is not published as a figure, so the real monthly cost is higher.

A membership figure and a medication figure are two different numbers, and the one a provider leads with is usually the smaller of the two. We add both together for every provider in this directory and set the result beside buying direct from the manufacturer, on what the published figures do and don't add up to.

On compounding

States it prescribes FDA-approved brand-name GLP-1 medications only and does not offer compounded versions.

Questions people ask before signing up

Every answer below states only what PlushCare publishes about itself, read on 2026-09-10, plus what is on the public record. We have not used this service and we do not rate it.

Who writes the prescription at PlushCare?
Licensed physicians (MD/DO), telehealth visits. Every GLP-1 receptor agonist is prescription-only in the United States, so a service that supplies one without an assessment is not operating lawfully, whatever it calls itself. This is PlushCare's own published description of who evaluates you, read on 2026-09-10.
Does PlushCare use compounded medication?
No. Its published offer is brand-name only: Wegovy, Zepbound, Ozempic, Mounjaro. That means the medication itself is an FDA-approved product, which is the main thing a compounded route does not give you.
What does PlushCare actually cost per month?
Adding up what PlushCare does publish gives at least $149 a month, but that is a floor rather than a total: medication is not published as a figure, so the real monthly cost is higher. A membership or programme fee and a medication price are two different numbers, and the one a provider leads with is usually the smaller. We add both together for every provider in this directory rather than repeating the advertised figure.
Does PlushCare take insurance?
In-network with major insurers including Cigna, Humana, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Whether your own plan covers a GLP-1 at all is a separate question from whether a provider will bill it, and it is usually the one that decides the price — many employer plans exclude weight-management medications as a category.
Is PlushCare available in my state?
Not published in a single state-coverage list — confirm at signup. Where a provider does not publish a state list we say so rather than assume nationwide coverage, and this field is read from PlushCare's own site on 2026-09-10.
