Primary care in Louisiana.
Company statements checked between September 10, 2026 and September 15, 2026: 3 covered companies — FOLX Health, MDLIVE and PlushCare — advertise online primary care services to patients in Louisiana. Confirm eligibility and total charges with the provider.
Three selected online primary-care options with service-level evidence for Louisiana, separating membership, visit charges and insurance checks.
For patients in Louisiana. These are advertised online services, not verified local offices, appointment slots or prescription guarantees.
Read Louisiana’s primary-care entry separately
The FOLX table marks Louisiana available for Primary & Mental Health Care. This guide selects adult primary care, not the table’s separate hormone and therapy offerings. The state entry cannot establish a particular prescription or clinician’s availability.
Membership features versus a limited-access visit
FOLX’s full membership includes online booking and care-team messaging. A limited-access visit is arranged through Member Operations without those platform features. Ask what that route costs and how follow-up contact works before choosing it.
Membership does not cover the separate charges for visits, labs or medication. The insurance guide distinguishes the patient’s plan and service. FOLX says Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted for service payment; its Medicare FAQ allows care for enrollees who agree not to submit claims.
PlushCare’s fifty-state sentence
PlushCare states that patients in all 50 states can easily book appointments with a board-certified physician, and Louisiana is included. The sentence answers a question about primary versus urgent care on the service page; it is the company’s account of who may book, not a Louisiana service record.
Two charges follow: membership at $19.99 a month after a 30-day free period, then the visit at $129 for self-pay. The company reports most in-network patients pay $30 or less. Medicaid is not currently accepted.
Confirm your location and the clinician’s role when booking. No online listing here establishes a Louisiana office. For further context, use the FOLX and PlushCare profiles and the national primary-care overview.

Selected providers
Which providers serve Louisiana?
3 companies with published profiles and service-specific source records. Listed alphabetically, not ranked. This is selected coverage—not every provider in the market.
Formats describe the program, not a guaranteed first-visit option in every state. A messaging or questionnaire option does not promise an initial evaluation without a live appointment. Read each provider’s service and state access notes.
| Company & service | Program formats & clinicians | Payment & advertised charges | Access & evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| FOLX Health FOLX adult primary-care visits, with full-platform membership or a separately arranged limited-access booking route. Official website ↗ |
The primary-care page describes choosing a clinician for a scheduled virtual visit and messaging the care team through full membership. Check the assigned clinician's professional credential rather than assuming every visit is with a physician. Access channel: Direct to consumer | Cash pay · Insurance The cash list puts a 30-minute initial primary-care visit at $159 and a 15-minute follow-up at $79. Full membership is separate: $43.99 monthly or $349 paid annually. Visits, labs and medication are not included in that membership fee. The limited-access route omits full-platform benefits; the reviewed page does not give a separate complete price schedule for it. | FOLX's state-service table lists its Primary & Mental Health Care column as available in Louisiana. This row covers adult primary-care visits, not every separately listed FOLX service or medication. The company state table lists its combined primary and mental health care service as available here. Read from the company own state-by-service table rather than a nationwide statement. It does not establish patient eligibility, clinician availability, insurance coverage, or that any particular medication is offered. State evidence checked · State availability source The service is presented for adults and designed around LGBTQIA+ care. Its state table separately lists primary/mental health care in all 50 states and DC; that is not a guarantee for other FOLX services or a particular prescription. Insurance participation varies by plan and service. FOLX says it does not accept Medicare or Medicaid to pay for its own services and is not a Medicare provider, but its Medicare/Medicaid FAQ states that a Medicare-enrolled person may still receive care if they agree that neither they nor FOLX will bill Medicare for it. The same FAQ says a person on Medicaid in Kentucky or Colorado cannot receive clinical services through FOLX, though they may still join for the referral network and community platform; that is the company's policy tied to Medicaid enrollment, not a state law and not a withdrawal from either state.

| MDLIVE Scheduled adult primary care by phone or video, covering wellness screenings, routine care and support for ongoing conditions Official website ↗ |
A primary-care doctor seen by appointment rather than on demand, so availability depends on provider schedules. Access channel: Health plan | Insurance · Employer or plan benefit The copay may be as low as $0, but only through a participating plan; MDLIVE states that not all plans include primary care benefits. No self-pay price is published for primary care, which is the notable exception to the self-pay options offered for some other MDLIVE services. | MDLIVE's all-fifty-states statement includes Louisiana. What that statement does not do is open the service: primary care is sold only through select health insurance plans, and no self-pay price is published for it, so a Louisiana reader paying out of pocket has no listed way in. Phone-visit availability follows Louisiana regulation. MDLIVE's primary-care page says MDLIVE is available anywhere in the United States and Puerto Rico, and that MDLIVE has a vast, nationwide network of board-certified, licensed doctors in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. The same page limits who can use the service: "Primary Care is only available through select health insurance plans", and it adds that because not all plans include primary care benefits, the easiest way to determine if MDLIVE Primary Care is included in your plan is to create a secure MDLIVE account. Being in a covered state therefore does not mean primary care is open to you; it depends on the participating plan. It also does not establish appointment availability, which visit mode is permitted where you are, what you would pay, or that any particular treatment or prescription will be provided. State evidence checked · State availability source This service is available only through select participating health plans and is for adults, so an MDLIVE account alone does not provide access. Phone-visit availability varies under state rules. A prescription is not guaranteed and the service does not prescribe controlled substances. Company-reported. Company-reported · Checked |
| PlushCare Membership-based virtual primary care with per-visit charges, including ongoing care and prescription management Official website ↗ |
The cited pages describe the nation's top doctors and refer to physicians and other medical providers, without establishing a credential for any particular visit. The company states its therapists do not prescribe and that it has no psychiatrists, which matters when primary care is used as the prescribing route for mental-health medication. Access channel: Direct to consumer, Health plan | Cash pay · Insurance Membership is advertised at $19.99 a month with a 30-day free period, and the membership and the visit are separate charges. Self-pay initial visits are listed at $129. The company says most patients with in-network insurance pay $30 or less, which is a company-reported typical figure rather than a quote. The terms state in capitals that payment of the membership fee is not a requirement to receive medical services. | PlushCare's primary-care page includes Louisiana in its statement that patients in all 50 states can book an appointment with a board-certified physician. That is where the service is offered, not a Louisiana office, a reserved appointment or a promise that every service the page lists suits your visit. PlushCare's primary-care page states that patients in all 50 states can book appointments to discuss their health concerns with a board-certified physician, so a visit can be arranged from anywhere in the country. That sentence describes the company's service range in general and sits in the page's FAQ rather than in a state-by-state service table, so it says where the service is offered, not which clinician, appointment time or individually listed service is available to a particular patient. Access is membership-based with the visit charged separately, and the same page states that Medicaid is not currently accepted. State evidence checked · State availability source The company describes itself as in network with most major health plans, and its terms note some members receive services through employer coverage in which case membership fees may not apply. A separate limited-access route is documented for booking by phone without the membership tools, with its pricing not fully published. Cancelling a membership and being refunded for visits already taken are separate questions. Company-reported. Company-reported · Checked |

How companies enter this list
Each selected company has a published profile, a maintained service row and a separately reviewed match to current evidence for this state. A general national footprint is insufficient. The list is selective; an omitted provider is not necessarily unavailable. Inclusion does not establish clinical suitability, state licensure or a currently available appointment.
Smaller and larger providers use the same source requirements and alphabetical ordering. Visit each profile for company history and wider context, or suggest another provider.
