Full Review
Founded in 2014 and headquartered in San Francisco, PlushCare is a virtual primary-care platform offering same-day appointments across a broad range of conditions, including weight management. Its $19.99/month membership (first month free) covers physician access, with visits costing about $30 with insurance or $129 cash-pay; medication itself — including branded GLP-1s like Zepbound and Wegovy — is billed separately at the pharmacy and not discounted through PlushCare. This structure makes PlushCare a reasonable low-cost entry point for patients who already have insurance coverage for GLP-1s, but a weaker fit for cash-pay patients seeking the lowest all-in monthly cost. Trustpilot reviews are polarized, with recurring-billing and cancellation complaints offset by praise for physician quality. PlushCare was acquired by Accolade in 2022; more recent parent-company structure was not independently confirmed.
