Pink eye treatment for patients in New Mexico
Red, itchy, crusted eyes are hard to ignore and easy to describe. Patients in New Mexico submit a secure request with their symptoms; a clinician licensed in New Mexico decides whether bacterial pink eye is likely and whether antibiotic drops are appropriate.
Every clinician who reviews a New Mexico request holds an active license issued by the New Mexico Medical Board or the New Mexico Board of Nursing, and your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in New Mexico.
If a prescription is appropriate, it is sent electronically to the New Mexico pharmacy you choose, whether that is a chain, a supermarket pharmacy or an independent near you. Medication is billed by the pharmacy, not by Plunge Care.
Care is available today in Texas, Florida, Arizona, New Mexico, Maryland and New York. Your request is only routed to a clinician licensed in the state you are in.
