PlushCare
What we like
- Shows its price before the medical questionnaire, so you can compare it without handing over health information
- Serves all 50 states
- We found no FDA warning letters issued to PlushCare
- A live video visit with a clinician is required before a prescription, which is slower than a form and is the more careful intake
- Baseline bloodwork is required before a prescription
Watch-outs
- Not included in the monthly price: medication, clinician visits, lab work
- Ask which pharmacy fills the prescription before you pay, so you can check its license
- Its semaglutide and tirzepatide are compounded rather than FDA-approved, so they have not been reviewed by the agency for safety, effectiveness or manufacturing quality
Our Verdict
PlushCare wins this one, 6.4 to 6.1, above all for coverage in all 50 states, which most sellers will not confirm. Allara Health fits better if coaching bundled into the price rather than sold separately is your priority.
