Sesame Care offers self-pay telehealth visits for people experiencing possible urinary tract infection symptoms. Patients can compare participating healthcare providers, appointment availability and upfront prices before booking an online consultation. During the visit, the provider reviews symptoms and medical history to determine whether the symptoms are consistent with a UTI and to consider other possible causes such as vaginal infections, kidney stones, yeast infections or kidney infections. Testing such as a urinalysis or urine culture may be recommended in some situations, particularly for recurrent infections, symptoms that are not improving or certain underlying medical conditions. If prescription treatment is clinically appropriate, the provider may prescribe medication and send the prescription to a local pharmacy for pickup or arrange delivery where available. Sesame advertises online UTI consultations from $34 with no insurance required. Medication and any additional testing are separate unless otherwise specified. Online care may be appropriate for many routine UTI concerns, but recurrent or potentially complicated infections may require additional testing or in-person evaluation. Severe or worsening symptoms may require urgent in-person evaluation. Sesame states that patients who are prescribed medication receive access to a prescription savings card that may help reduce out-of-pocket pharmacy costs. Payment options advertised include credit card, HSA and FSA.
