A urinary tract infection shouldn't require a half-day of your time and hundreds of dollars to treat. CodyMD offers a flat $49 visit — no hidden fees, no surprise bills, no insurance required — with a prescription sent to your pharmacy in about an hour.

What the $49 covers

Physician consultation. A US-licensed, board-certified doctor reviews your symptoms, medical history, allergies, and current medications via text. This isn't a chatbot — it's a real physician making a real clinical decision.

Diagnosis. Your doctor evaluates your symptoms against established clinical guidelines (AUA/ACOG) to determine whether your presentation is consistent with an uncomplicated UTI.

Electronic prescription. If treatment is indicated, your doctor sends a prescription directly to the pharmacy of your choice.

Follow-up care. If symptoms haven't improved within 48 hours, text your doctor back at no additional charge. Adjustment, urine culture, or referral — all included in the original $49.

How $49 compares to your other options

Urgent care: $50–150+ with insurance. Copay of $50–75, plus potential urinalysis charges. Without insurance, $150–250. Plus 30–90 minutes in a waiting room.

Primary care: $150–300 without insurance. Assuming you can get a same-day appointment — increasingly rare. With insurance, your copay might be $25–50, but high deductibles mean many patients pay full price.

Emergency room: $500–2,000+. No one should go to the ER for an uncomplicated UTI, but it happens on nights and weekends when other options are closed. Average ER visit costs over $1,400 before insurance.

CodyMD: $49, flat. No waiting room, no drive, no time off work. Text from wherever you are, prescription ready in about an hour.

No insurance required (but your HSA/FSA may cover it)

CodyMD operates outside the insurance system by design — no billing department, no prior authorization, no claim denials. If you have an HSA or FSA, CodyMD visits are generally eligible expenses under IRS guidelines for telehealth consultations.

The UTI comfort kit: a bundled option

In addition to your prescription antibiotic, the comfort kit includes OTC urinary pain relief (phenazopyridine) and a preventive supplement (D-mannose or cranberry extract). Costs more than the base $49 but still significantly less than urgent care plus separate OTC purchases.

Why transparent pricing matters

CodyMD was built by physicians — the same team behind ZoomCare — who believe pricing should be clear before you commit. Forty-nine dollars means forty-nine dollars. No asterisks, no surprises. For a condition as straightforward as an uncomplicated UTI, you deserve a straightforward experience.
