Read from plushcare.com on 30 August 2026. PlushCare publishes three separate figures and no total: membership is free for thirty days and $19.99 a month after, a first visit without insurance is $129, and with in-network insurance most patients pay a copay of $30 or less. The medication is not included — PlushCare's own page says GLP-1 drugs usually run about $1,000 a month out of pocket — so no all-in monthly price exists to record.

What this page used to say

2026-09-14 — The membership-fee answer on the PlushCare page said the price here adds the fee and the medication. Now: The fee alone is not what a month costs, and no monthly total for PlushCare is recorded here.
2026-09-11 — A point in its favor that no longer stood. Was: $19.99 a month is the cheapest membership on this site by a factor of three, and the first month is free. Now: $19.99 a month, among the cheapest memberships on this site, and the first month is free.
2026-08-30 — Recorded PlushCare's published membership and visit fees. Was: No price and no verification date. Now: No total, but the membership fee, the self-pay visit fee and the insured copay are now on this page with the date they were read.

What does PlushCare actually charge?

halfrx records no verified price for PlushCare: nothing it publishes states an all-in monthly figure, so this provider carries no price here rather than a guess. What it costs once titrated is not published, which is a fact about the seller rather than a gap in the data. It runs month to month. No FTC action, state action, BBB F grade or FDA warning letter is recorded against it. It scores 6.2 out of 10 on a published formula that is arithmetic over the facts on this page, not an editor's opinion. It bills insurance first, which means the number you pay depends on your plan rather than on this page. The medication is the branded, FDA-approved product rather than a compounded copy. It supplies the prescription; sourcing the medication is left to you. The page rests on 1 cited source, at least one of them a manufacturer, regulator or journal. Molecules: semaglutide, tirzepatide.

No clinician has reviewed this page. Label and trial statements are quoted from the FDA label or the trial cited beside them. General guidance is marked as such, and every price carries the date it was verified. That is sourcing, not medical review. What we do and do not check · Who checked the price

What is good about PlushCare?

+$19.99 a month, among the cheapest memberships on this site, and the first month is free.[1]
+It prescribes to your own pharmacy rather than shipping its own supply, which is what keeps manufacturer savings programs and insurance both available to you.[1]
+Built around insurance: most in-network patients are quoted a copay of $30 or less for the visit.[1]

What are the downsides of PlushCare?

−The medication — the part that costs $349 to $1,000 a month — is not included and not priced anywhere on the page.[1]
−$129 for the initial visit if you have no insurance, on top of the membership.[1]
−No dispensing arm means the prior authorization, the pharmacy hunt and the shortage are yours to handle.[1]
