Nearly any medication except controlled substances. A licensed clinician reviews every lab order and prescription.
Everyday care, on your insurance.
Not a storefront
Arcus isn't built around one condition or one drug. It's everyday care: the visit, the tests and the prescriptions that follow.
Not cash‑pay wellness
Arcus works with your insurance. Coverage and prior authorization are handled before you're asked to pay or pick anything up.
Questions, answered.
Do you take my insurance?
Arcus works with your insurance. Before your visit we check your eligibility and show you what your plan covers, so nothing comes as a surprise.
What can you treat by text?
Common, everyday care: colds and flu, sinus and allergies, urinary infections, skin and acne, plus ongoing care like blood pressure and birth control. If you need to be seen in person, your clinician will tell you.
Are there in-person clinics?
Not yet. Today Arcus is visits by text, with labs and pharmacies near you. Clinics come next, on the same record, so your care never starts over.
Which pharmacy do you use?
The one you already use. We send your prescription there, sort out coverage and prior authorization, and text you when it's ready.
How do lab tests work?
Your clinician orders the test during your visit. We book a lab near you, confirm your plan covers it, and put the results in your record with a note on what they mean.
Do you prescribe controlled substances?
No. Arcus prescribes nearly every other medication, but not controlled substances like opioids or ADHD stimulants.
Is Arcus for emergencies?
No. In a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
Care that holds together.
Start with a visit by text. Arcus handles the labs, the insurance and the pharmacy from there.
