How does PlushCare work?
Unlike many other hair loss treatment providers that require you to fill out an online health questionnaire, you skip that step and book a same-day online appointment with a doctor on PlusCare’s network instead. During your visit, your doctor will learn about your health and hair loss experience. If deemed eligible, the doctor will prescribe the right treatment for you and send your prescription to a local pharmacy. Once your prescription is ready, you pick it up or have it delivered to your door as you would with any other prescription.
How much does PlushCare cost?
PlushCare offers some of the most common treatments for hair loss, but their cost will depend on whether you have insurance, plus the cost of a PlushCare membership. PlushCare’s price structure is similar to a traditional doctor’s office and pharmacy visit. With insurance, you’ll pay a membership fee (free the first month) and a copay. Without insurance, you’ll pay a membership fee (free the first month) and $129 per visit. Membership includes a prescription discount card that can reduce the cost of your prescription up to 80%, according to PlushCare. PushCare accepts most major health insurance plans. Detailed pricing information is available on its website.
*Copay cost is similar to an office visit.
Is PlushCare reliable and safe?
Yes, PlushCare doctors prescribe clinically proven medications that are considered reliable and safe. You book an online appointment with a doctor to discuss your hair loss treatment options. If eligible, the right treatment is prescribed to you.
Customer Support
Customer support is available by email or phone. Your PlushCare membership includes unlimited messages with the Care team.
What makes PlushCare stand out?
Unlike other hair loss treatment providers that sometimes let you choose your treatment, PlushCare works similarly to a telemedicine provider where you see a doctor first – without having to complete an online questionnaire. The doctor discusses your treatment options and, if eligible, prescribes the right treatment to you. Then your doctor sends your prescription to your local pharmacy, where you can pick it up at your own convenience or have it delivered to your door. PlushCare’s service is membership-based and offers a wide variety of commonly prescribed medications, including antibiotics, antivirals, and muscle relaxers. It also offers weight loss and ED treatments.
