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.

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.
