A $19.99 membership and a $129 first visit buy you a doctor, not a drug, and eight screens of intake produced no dollar figure at all before the account wall.

Our finding
Eight screens, no dollar figure
No plan ladder is published, so there is nothing below to show its working.
PlushCare is a primary care practice that happens to prescribe GLP-1s, not a GLP-1 seller. You book a real appointment with a named doctor, and the prescription goes to your own pharmacy.
That makes it a different product from the other companies on this site, and it's why the numbers don't line up with theirs. What you pay PlushCare is for the doctor. What you pay for the drug is between you, your pharmacy and your insurer.

Medication prices. The required $19.99/mo membership is billed on top.
The published numbers are $19.99 a month with the first month free, plus $129 for the initial visit if you have no insurance. With insurance it's $19.99 plus a copay, and PlushCare says "Most patients with in-network insurance pay $30 or less". So month one without insurance is $129, and the months after that are $19.99 while you stay a member.
None of that includes medication, and PlushCare doesn't sell any. It prescribes FDA-approved brands (Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Mounjaro, Ozempic and others) to the pharmacy you name. Whatever that pharmacy charges is your real cost, and it isn't a number PlushCare publishes or controls. That's why the figure at the top isn't a monthly treatment price: there isn't one to quote.
The funnel never produces one either. Eight screens, no price. The intake asks your state explicitly, which is the right question, then puts a named doctor, a star rating and an appointment time in front of you. "We're holding your appointment: 4:43" ran in the header while "This appointment is reserved for you. Complete your profile below to confirm the booking" sat beneath it. Next it asks for a profile with a login. No dollar figure appears at any point, and the pricing block quoted above lives on a marketing page the funnel never links to.
One more thing doesn't reconcile. A widget on the way through showed three different weight-loss percentages in the same session: 22% as a generic figure, 7.9% as the personalized result, and roughly 15% in the footnote underneath. There's no telling which is right, and the widget doesn't seem to know either.
Who it's wrong for
Comparing monthly all-in costs? PlushCare's fee buys the appointment; the drug is a separate bill from a pharmacy, and brand GLP-1 list prices are an order of magnitude above the compounded prices elsewhere on this site.
If you want a compounded GLP-1, look elsewhere. PlushCare prescribes FDA-approved brands only.
Not a fit if you want a price before booking. Eight screens of intake produced none, and the appointment is held on a countdown while you fill in the profile.
Uninsured and hoping the $19.99 is the whole story? The first visit is $129 on top of it.

Questions people ask about PlushCare
How much does PlushCare cost a month?Priced only after the intake.
Does PlushCare charge a membership fee?Yes, and it isn't optional. PlushCare's weight-loss page prices both routes the same way: "Paying without insurance $19.99 First month free + $129", with "Visit price without insurance: Initial visits are $129." The membership carries "Same-day appointments 7 days a week · Unlimited messages with your Care Team · Exclusive discounts on lab tests · Free memberships for your family · Cancel anytime". It buys care, not medication.
Does PlushCare sell compounded or brand-name GLP-1s?FDA-approved brand medication prescribed to a pharmacy of your choice — PlushCare lists Zepbound, Wegovy, Saxenda, Contrave and Xenical for weight loss and Mounjaro, Ozempic, Victoza, Rybelsus and metformin for type-2 diabetes. Nothing compounded. It names no pharmacy.
Does GLP America earn money from PlushCare?No, it pays us nothing.
On the record5 sourcing notes: every price with the page it came from, and what the company doesn't publish
Eight screens from the "Am I a Candidate?" entry to the profile screen, stopping at account creation. No price appeared on any of them. Screenshot on file.
The prices here come from PlushCare's weight loss page, which the funnel does not link to. Verbatim: "Paying without insurance · $19.99 · First month free · + · $129 · Visit price without insurance · Initial visits are $129." and "Paying with insurance · $19.99 · First month free · + · Copay · Visit price with insurance · Often the same as an office visit. Most patients with in-network insurance pay $30 or less!" The membership list on the same page: "Same-day appointments 7 days a week · Unlimited messages with your Care Team · Exclusive discounts on lab tests · Free memberships for your family · Cancel anytime".
The medication list, from the same page: "FDA-approved weight loss medications Zepbound™ Wegovy® Saxenda® Contrave® Xenical®" and "Type-2 diabetes medications Mounjaro® Ozempic® Victoza® GLP-1s", with "Rybelsus®" and "Metformin" added lower down. The page also says PlushCare's "care team can help with prior authorizations if needed", which is a service, not a price.
The funnel screen, verbatim: "We're holding your appointment: 4:43", "Dr. Rajat Lamington · 4.8 · Monday, August 31, 2026 · 4:15 PM CDT", "This appointment is reserved for you. Complete your profile below to confirm the booking", "Create profile. If you are booking for someone else, please have that person create an account."
State licensure reads Stated because the intake asks which state you are in as a gating question before offering appointment times, which is what determines who may prescribe to you. No sentence names a pharmacy, because there is nothing to name: PlushCare sends the prescription to a pharmacy the patient chooses, which it says on the page. Nothing on the pages cited here addresses fulfillment outside the United States; brand medication dispensed by a US retail pharmacy is why that row reads None disclosed rather than Not stated. No support hours appear beside the phone number.
What PlushCare sells, priced across the market
The same molecules at every other company we have reviewed, with the range each one falls in.
PlushCare's record is one of the inputs to these pieces, so a correction here moves their numbers too.
Do they say which state your prescriber is licensed in?The single most American question this site asks, counted across the roster: who says the clinician treating you is licensed where you are, and what the rest say instead.
Does the GLP-1 price change after the first month?Every price in this roster cheaper in month one than in month two, what the standing rate becomes, and what a one-off introductory discount is really worth across a year.
How many of these companies will sell you one month?Cancel-after-one-month availability across every company we have priced, and what the exceptions are actually doing, from a two-month minimum in the terms to a twelve-week block.
What the checkout shows you that the home page doesn'tInside sixteen GLP-1 intakes: the countdowns, the counters that fall while you read, the plan already chosen for you, and the three funnels that carried none of it.
