Is PlushCare legit?
Only what PlushCare publishes and what we could check ourselves — nothing inferred. See the methodology.
- Certification
- On third-party certification, the site doesn't say.
- Where it ships
- All 50 states, as published on the site.
- Last checked
- July 2026, against PlushCare's own pages.
- Published price
- PlushCare publishes a figure for semaglutide and tirzepatide — the qualifiers are in "What does PlushCare cost?" below.
- What it sells
- Brand-name medication as well as compounded, injectable route only.
- Licensing & trust
- 58/100 on the scored dimension of that name — one of the six in our published methodology.
Checks out as far as the figures go, with one caveat: every price PlushCare publishes carries a condition, so the number on the site is not the monthly bill.
What does PlushCare cost?
Each figure exactly as PlushCare publishes it, with the condition attached to it spelled out.
Semaglutide
$149/mo (starting dose, compounded)
That is a starting figure, not the price at every dose: $149 a month is the lowest rung, and the cost rises from there.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for semaglutide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.
Tirzepatide
$399/mo (starting dose, compounded)
That is a starting figure, not the price at every dose: $399 a month is the lowest rung, and the cost rises from there.
Because that figure carries a condition, it is held out of our "cheapest" rankings and out of the median we compute for tirzepatide — only flat month-to-month rates compete there.

Desk Score breakdown
Each of the six scored dimensions. See the methodology.
What we like
- Available in all 50 states
- Appointments with US board-certified physicians, not nurse practitioners only
- Virtual primary care — the same doctor can manage GLP-1s alongside other health needs
- Owned by Transcarent, a venture-backed health platform with a named corporate parent
Where points come off
- Facing a California class action alleging deceptive subscription enrollment and unauthorized charges after cancellation
- GLP-1 prescribing is up to the clinician at the visit — not guaranteed at signup
- BBB complaints center on the membership cancellation process
The bottom line — C
Best for: Virtual primary care that can also prescribe GLP-1s.
PlushCare ranks #146 of 542 providers scored — see #1, CoreAge Rx here.

Assume any provider we list may compensate us — we may earn a referral commission at no extra cost to you, and what we write about a provider reads the same either way.
