If you have Medicaid, the coverage on this page is the route to use first: it costs you nothing and it is what these programs exist for. If you are not covered yet, there is still a free option. Our directory of free and charitable clinics lists verified centers by state. The option below is self-pay and is not billed to Medicaid. It is here for readers who are between coverage or who prefer to pay out of pocket:

A same-day online visit with a licensed clinician for common health concerns, starting as low as $34. Prices are shown before you book; visits start at $34 and vary by clinician and location (checked August 2026).
