Doctronic vs PlushCare

Compare pricing, features, and medications to find the best GLP-1 provider for your weight loss journey

These two prices are not directly comparable

Doctronic: the $39 figure is a per-visit consultation fee, not a month of treatment - the medication is billed separately.

Pros

✓A $39 video visit with a licensed doctor is one of the cheapest prescribing consultations available anywhere on this site
✓The AI symptom chat is free and unlimited before you spend anything, so you can work out whether you want a visit at all
✓Doctors are licensed in all 50 states plus DC and can write prescriptions, review cases, order tests and provide referrals
✓Insurance is accepted, and FSA and HSA payment is accepted
✓Prescription refills advertised as starting as low as $0
✓No membership fee and no subscription commitment
✓The GLP-1 content is educational rather than promotional, and it names Ozempic, Wegovy and Saxenda specifically
✓It states plainly that GLP-1 medications require proper medical supervision and prescription

Cons

✗The $39 covers the visit, not the medication. There is no bundled medication price anywhere on the site, so your real monthly cost is unknown up front
✗Doctronic does not publish whether it prescribes compounded GLP-1s or only brand-name products
✗No pharmacy fulfilment, shipping or cold-chain handling is described - this is a consultation service
✗No phone number, support email or business address is published
✗The headline claim - "The world's #1 Medical AI platform with 25.5M+ AI consults" - is a self-assessment with no independent verification offered
✗An AI-first funnel means the first thing assessing your weight-loss question is software, not a clinician
✗No coaching, dietitian, app-based programme or structured follow-up around the prescription

Medications

Pros

✓Accepts insurance, which almost nothing else on this site does. Most in-network patients pay a copay of $30 or less for a visit
✓Membership is $19.99/month with the first month free, and there is no minimum commitment
✓Prescribes only FDA-approved medications - Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical - so no compounded product is involved
✓Care comes from board-certified primary care physicians rather than an asynchronous questionnaire review
✓A full refund is offered if the doctor is unable to treat you
✓Membership includes far more than weight care: 24/7 urgent care video visits, mental health support, discounted lab tests and free memberships for family
✓An in-app prescription discount card and HSA/FSA eligibility can reduce medication costs further
✓The site is candid that GLP-1s 'usually cost about $1000 per month out of pocket' and advises checking insurance coverage first, rather than hiding the real figure

Cons

✗The $19.99 membership buys access, not medication. Without insurance coverage the GLP-1 itself can run about $1,000 a month, which PlushCare states openly but which makes the headline price misleading if read as a treatment cost
✗Visits are charged on top of membership - $129 for an initial visit without in-network insurance
✗Trustpilot sits at 3.4 out of 5 across 2,735 reviews, the weakest score of any established provider we have reviewed here
✗Prescriptions are explicitly at the doctor's discretion, so paying for membership and a visit does not guarantee you leave with a GLP-1
✗This is a general telehealth service, so the weight-loss programme has less dedicated structure - no built-in coaching, food tracking or dose-titration support
✗Medication and lab costs are excluded from every advertised price, so your real monthly outlay depends entirely on your insurer
✗Contrave is offered as a $99 cash-pay alternative, but the cash cost of the GLP-1s themselves is not published
✗If you have no insurance and want a GLP-1, this route is likely to cost far more than the compounded providers listed elsewhere on this site
