Preview QuickMD
QuickMD offers an efficient and accessible way to get access to Suboxone for OUD, as well as primary and urgent care visits. All appointments are cash-pay, at $99 for addiction treatment and $75 for primary/urgent care. Any medications prescribed will be sent to a local pharmacy for pickup. If you have insurance, it may cover some or all of your prescription costs, but note that you can’t use insurance for appointments on QuickMD.
When using the app myself, I found it incredibly quick and easy to sign up and get started. I could see all the available providers in my state within about two minutes of downloading the app (though you can also just use the web browser on your phone or computer). Signing up for an appointment includes filling in basic contact information and adding a form of payment in order to book, but you can get started and see your appointment options in the app or on your web browser without putting in any information other than the state you’re in.
While QuickMD could be a seamless way to get Suboxone for OUD, it doesn’t offer other forms of addiction treatment, other than an option to attend 30-minute “addiction counseling” sessions for $45. For those looking for more robust, whole-person addiction treatment, we recommend Workit Health and Eleanor Health, though note that they’re both in fewer states than QuickMD. For those looking for quick access to naltrexone for AUD, one option is Oar Health.

Getting Started
The entire point of QuickMD is that it provides a quick and painless process for seeking care, and it lives up to that moniker. I signed up on my phone and within about three minutes I could see who was immediately available for a video call. In my state, I could schedule an appointment with a few different doctors for both MAT services and primary care within literal minutes, as well as one counselor who was available the next day. All I had to do to get that far was enter which state I was located in, then I could select whether I was interested in addiction treatment, weight loss, primary care, or urgent care.
Since I wasn’t ready to have a session that day, I clicked the “Not ready to book?” link at the top of the screen, which led me to sign up for an account. I entered my email and phone number, full name, DOB, sex at birth, and address, and I was all set. I didn’t need to input a credit card to set up my account, which I found to be a plus.
Once I was ready to schedule, I simply hit the “book a visit” button in the app and was prompted to choose whether I wanted an appointment for addiction treatment, weight loss, primary care, urgent care, or counseling. Before booking, you must input your credit card information and pay for the appointment up front. Note that QuickMD doesn’t take insurance, but its sessions are less costly than standard visits of this kind offered by competitors.
MAT Services
QuickMD offers same-day appointments to see a provider who can prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine-naloxone) as a Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD). Your initial appointment with a QuickMD provider is called the “induction appointment,” during which, if deemed appropriate, your provider will prescribe a 7-day supply of Suboxone that will be sent to a local pharmacy. This shorter prescription will help you and the doctor figure out your tolerance and give a chance to adjust the dosage if needed.
The initial appointment includes one free follow-up appointment, as long as it’s completed within 14 days of the first appointment. At this session, you and your provider will discuss whether this dosage is working for you, then you’ll be able to get a longer prescription. All appointments (other than the complimentary follow-up) are $99, and this does not include the cost of medication. These appointments will likely be quite short, probably about 10 minutes.
Suboxone is the typical prescription for MOUD, but if the patient presents an allergy or adverse reaction, the provider may prescribe Subutex, an alternative to Suboxone. Early refills cannot be filled for any reason, so if you’re traveling it would be a good idea to talk to your prescriber in advance—they may be able to give you a shorter prescription first and then a refill that will align with your schedule.
Note that some states require annual or semi-annual in-person visits to maintain a Suboxone prescription. If this applies to you, QuickMD does have two in-person locations: One in Birmingham, AL, and one in Rapid City, SD.
Addiction Counseling
Right now, counseling is available for $45 for a half hour session, and the counseling is only for those dealing with substance use addictions. When I looked into what counseling was available in my state of Oregon, there was one counselor available. She is a licensed doctor who is also a certified rehabilitation counselor, which gave me peace of mind that she could provide helpful care for those seeking this service.
However, I tried signing up from over a dozen other states and got the same counselor. I suspect this is why they are very careful about calling this service counseling and not therapy, as this counselor is not licensed to provide actual therapy in every state across the US. Still, it could be a good service for those looking for holistic support for addiction. It’s also clear that this is not a main offering of QuickMD, as one counselor can only provide a handful of visits per day.
Urgent Care & Primary Care
Patients can use QuickMD for a variety of medical concerns, including cold/flu symptoms, minor injuries, rashes or infections, allergies, UTIs, digestive issues, and mental health support for anxiety, depression, and stress. Providers on QuickMD can issue a doctor’s note for school or work excuses, or a return to work/school notice. These will be issued as PDFs, and will be available within 12 hours max.
Doctors may prescribe medication to be sent to your local pharmacy (including mental health medications), though note that they cannot prescribe controlled substances, like Adderall for ADHD or Xanax or Klonopin for anxiety disorders. They also won’t prescribe any narcotics, medications for acute heart problems, or hormone therapy other than birth control. All medication costs are separate from the $75 visit fee.
Cost & Insurance Coverage
QuickMD does not take any form of insurance coverage, so expect to pay the full price for each visit you attend. However, its costs per session are quite reasonable compared to its competitors.
Here’s a breakdown of session costs for QuickMD’s different services:
- MAT consultation for Suboxone: $99
- Weight loss consultation: $99
- Primary care visit: $75
- Urgent care visit: $75
- 30-minute addiction counseling: $45

Users have had over 6.5k reviews between the Apple App store and the Google Play store, an overwhelming majority of which are highly positive. Many reviewers commented on how they felt listened to and cared for by the doctors they met with on the app.
Reviews from Apple App Store - 4.8 out of 5 stars | 3.3k reviews
Positive reviews on the Apple App Store are glowing, with reviewers saying they were able to get care extremely quickly and that the doctors were affirming, kind, and matter-of-fact. Many state that their prescriptions came through within just a day.
Negative reviews focus on a few reviewers complaining about very quick meetings with docs, who didn’t take the time to appropriately explain medications. Others mentioned that they were disappointed in the “refund” process: instead of getting your money back, you get “credits” toward your next visit.
Google Play Store | 4.8 Stars out of 5 Stars | 3.2k Reviews
Positive reviews on the Google Play Store mention how quick and accessible the app makes getting treatment, for everything from urgent care to MAT services. Many reviews rave about how incredible the doctors are, mentioning several by name.
Negative reviews comment on being told they could get MAT only to discover it wasn’t available in their state, a few issues with pharmacies not filling prescriptions from QuickMD, and lack of customer support.
Alternatives & Competitors
While QuickMD could be an affordable, easy option for getting Suboxone, its other addiction resources are limited. If you’re looking for naltrexone for AUD or a more whole-person approach, you may want to look into an alternative, like Workit Health or Eleanor Health. However, note that these programs are in limited states at the moment.
Workit Health
Price: $129–$300 monthly
Insurance Accepted: Yes
Services: MAT for OUD and AUD; coaching; support groups
Available Nationwide? No; 10 states
Workit Health offers MAT programs for opioid use disorder and alcohol use disorder. Subscribers can pay a monthly fee out-of-pocket, though it’s also in-network with many insurance providers, including some Medicare plans. Regular drug testing, all done through the app, is a big part of Workit Health’s program, allowing clinicians to properly track and adjust prescriptions as necessary.
While there aren’t one-on-one therapists available through the program, Workit Health offers a large library of therapeutic courses, as well as medications for co-occurring disorders like anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

Pros & Cons
Pros - Offers MAT for multiple substance use disorders
- Treats co-occurring disorders

Eleanor Health
Cost: $249 monthly
Insurance Accepted: Yes
Services: MAT for OUD/AUD/Stimulant Abuse; Therapy; Peer support

Eleanor Health is much more whole-person-focused compared to QuickMD.

Also, unlike QuickMD which has set cash-pay rates for appointments, Eleanor Health offers a self-pay program at $249 monthly, but is also in-network with most commercial health insurance plans.

Pros & Cons
Pros - Accepts many major insurance plans
- Comes with Bluetooth breathalyzer

Why You Can Trust My Review
“After signing up for QuickMD and spending several hours researching how it works, I think it could be a decent option for folks looking for quick access to a medication prescriber. It also gives me assurance that so many reviews on the app stores mention how kind and understanding the docs were.
The name of the game with QuickMD is convenience and accessibility, not necessarily long appointments to help patients work out more complicated issues. So as long as you schedule a visit knowing what you need, it could be a great way to get care incredibly quickly and easily, all from an app on your phone. While those looking to use their insurance for treatment should look elsewhere, its cash-pay prices are quite reasonable.”
