Sesame Care
A direct-pay telehealth marketplace — search providers by specialty and price, see the cost before booking, and skip insurance billing.
Key features
- Visit prices start at $34 for telehealth appointments — all posted on provider profiles before you book, with no bill arriving afterward
- Same-day and next-day appointment slots across urgent care, primary care, mental health, and specialist visits — no referral required to access specialists directly
- 10,000+ independently licensed, board-certified providers across 383 service types — urgent care, primary care, mental health, dermatology, cardiology, women's health, and weight management among them
- Labs, imaging, and specialist referrals at transparent cash prices — typically a fraction of what insurance-billed rates run
- SesamePlus membership ($14.99/month) reduces per-visit costs further — 200+ common generics at $0 per fill, including blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes medications
- No insurance account required and no prior authorization
Best for
Seniors who want a quick visit with a licensed provider at a price posted before booking, with or without insurance.
Worth knowing
Cash-pay visits are not billed to insurance, so they do not count toward any deductible or out-of-pocket limit. For expensive or ongoing care, check what your own coverage would pay first. Sesame is most cost-effective for single, episodic visits, not as a substitute for long-term care management.
