PlushCare

PlushCare is a direct-to-consumer telehealth and virtual primary care service that connects patients with board-certified physicians for online doctor visits, available 24/7 across all 50 US states. Services include online prescriptions and refills, urgent care video visits, mental health care and therapy, weight-loss management including GLP-1 medications, chronic disease management, pediatric and preventive care, and sexual health. Founded in 2014 in San Francisco by Dr. James Wantuck and Ryan McQuaid, PlushCare accepts most major insurance and sells a $19.99/month patient membership. Ownership has changed three times: Accolade acquired PlushCare in 2021, Transcarent acquired Accolade in 2025, and effective 2026-07-31 PlushCare, Inc. became a subsidiary of Fabric Labs, Inc. As a consumer telehealth service, PlushCare publishes no public developer API, developer portal, API reference, SDK, MCP server or agent card; its one live API host, api.plushcare.com, is the patient app's own private Django REST Framework backend and returns 403 anonymously. This profile captures its public web, pricing, compliance and domain-security surface.

PlushCare is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Health, Telehealth, Telemedicine, and Healthcare.

PlushCare’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, pricing, and 10 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.

  note: accessModel describes how a DEVELOPER gets in. PlushCare publishes no API, so there is no developer access model to
    derive — it stays unknown deliberately. The $19.99/month figure in plans/plushcare-plans-pricing.yml is a PATIENT membership
    price, not an API plan, and must not be read as one.

  detail: PlushCare ships only an end-user telehealth product; the single live API host, api.plushcare.com, is the patient
    app's own Django REST Framework backend whose router root advertises one collection (/users/) that returns 403 anonymously,
    and every schema path on it (/openapi.json, /swagger.json, /schema/, /docs, /redoc) returns 404, with no developer portal,
    docs host, SDK or package anywhere.
