Doctor On Demand offers 24/7 virtual urgent care, therapy, psychiatry and, for select health plans and employers, primary care. It accepts most insurance and says your visit could be $0 depending on your coverage. A useful touch is the wait estimate: you pick your state and see the average wait before you book. Urgent care covers cold and flu, COVID, sinus infections, UTIs, strep throat, pink eye and STD treatment, and ear infections can be treated if you have a digital otoscope. Board-certified doctors and nurse practitioners diagnose your symptoms and send prescriptions to your local pharmacy when needed. The mental health side is deep, with therapy for anxiety, depression and PTSD and psychiatry for ADHD and bipolar disorder. For this list, though, Doctor On Demand loses points on price clarity: the home page does not show a self-pay price, so uninsured patients only see the cost after entering details, and we could not confirm a USD cash price.
