-- Extra Health, a subscription-based telemedicine service offering 24/7 access to board-certified physicians, announced today that it has expanded its affordable virtual care services to nearly all U.S. states. The platform provides medical consultations, prescription services, and discounted healthcare support without requiring health insurance, Social Security numbers, or immigration documentation.
The expansion responds to growing demand for accessible healthcare options among uninsured individuals, underinsured families, contract workers, and residents in rural areas with limited access to clinics or urgent care centers. According to recent U.S. Census data, approximately 30 million Americans lack health insurance, and many more face deductibles or out-of-pocket costs that make routine medical care difficult to obtain. Extra Health’s service model focuses on removing these financial and administrative barriers.
Extra Health offers 24/7 virtual access to board-certified physicians through video, voice, or chat, allowing users to receive care from home or any location. Doctors on the platform can provide medical guidance, issue prescriptions, and send them to the patient's preferred pharmacy. Members also receive reduced pricing on prescriptions and laboratory testing through partner networks.
A distinguishing feature of Extra Health’s service is household-based coverage. For a flat monthly fee, the subscription covers all members of a household under a single account. The most widely used plan is priced at $79.99 per month with a one-time enrollment fee. This plan includes virtual primary and urgent care consultations, basic mental health support via phone, lab savings, prescription discounts, and support in reviewing and negotiating hospital bills after emergency visits.
The company states that its model is especially relevant for communities that traditionally experience difficulty accessing healthcare due to cost, location, employment status, or immigration-related barriers. Extra Health does not require users to provide insurance information or government identification to access care. This enables individuals who are uninsured or who have recently lost coverage to obtain medical support promptly.
Extra Health is currently operating nationwide except in Alaska, Montana, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, with plans to expand to these remaining states in the near future.
“Expanding coverage gives more households the ability to speak to a licensed doctor whenever medical concerns arise,” said a spokesperson for Extra Health. “The goal is to make care available at any time without complicated intake processes or cost uncertainty.”
Extra Health reports that adoption has been especially strong among families in states where public health benefits are limited, as well as in rural communities where travel to a clinic or urgent care may be difficult. The company plans to continue scaling provider capacity and network partnerships to support future growth and extension of services.
