The short answer

You can see a licensed FutureClinic physician through your AI app in 33 states and Washington, D.C., with additional states added regularly. Because US medical licensing works state by state, the doctor who takes your case must hold an active license where you are physically located when you send your visit. Visits happen by message with no insurance needed and no subscription required, priced at $40 for the best-fit doctor or typically $20 to $100 if you choose a specific recommended physician.

Key facts

  • FutureClinic physicians currently take patients in 33 states and Washington, D.C., matching you with a doctor licensed in the state where you are located.
  • Every clinician is a physician holding an MD, DO, or MBBS degree, verified and vetted by FutureClinic before seeing a patient, never a nurse practitioner or physician assistant.
  • Care requires no insurance and no subscription: pay $40 for the best-fit doctor from the clinic, or pick a recommended doctor at their listed price, typically $20 to $100.

You can see a licensed physician on FutureClinic through your AI app in 33 states and Washington, D.C. Whether you use Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Meta Muse, Instinct, or another personal AI assistant, every app connects to the same medical clinic. Because they all share the same physician network, one question determines whether a doctor can take your case today: which state are you physically in when you submit your visit?

Getting medical care in your state the usual way often means waiting weeks for an open clinic appointment, sorting through state-locked insurance directories, or sitting in a telehealth video queue for whichever random clinician happens to be on shift. Chatting with an AI on its own gives you quick background, yet a chatbot cannot diagnose you, order labs, or send a prescription to your pharmacy. Connecting your AI to FutureClinic lets you get medical care through your agent by message, pairing the context your AI already knows about you with a real physician licensed where you are.

Which 33 states and Washington, D.C. are covered right now?

FutureClinic doctors currently treat new patients across 33 states and Washington, D.C., organized here by region:

  • Northeast: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
  • South: Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas.
  • Midwest: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and North Dakota.
  • West: Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, California, and Hawaii.
  • District of Columbia: Washington, D.C.

Both Washington state on the Pacific coast and Washington, D.C. are covered. Because the states where FutureClinic operates are updated regularly, a missing state is still worth a try: if you do not see yours listed here, give it a try anyway, as FutureClinic may have come online in your state after this article was published.

Why does my physical location matter?

In the United States, medical licensing is regulated state by state. For a physician to evaluate your symptoms, make a diagnosis, or send a prescription to a pharmacy, they must hold an active license in the state where you are sitting when you send your visit. The doctor reviewing your case on FutureClinic carries the same state credential as a physician in a neighborhood office down the road.

On FutureClinic, you never see a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. We believe people's health deserves expert-level care, which is why every FutureClinic clinician is a licensed physician holding an MD, DO, or MBBS degree. Before any physician can take a patient case in any state, they are verified and vetted by FutureClinic.

What kind of care and specialists can I reach?

On FutureClinic, more than 280 doctors have signed on across 63 specialties, bringing together generalists and specialists alike.

Because visits run by message, there is no appointment to schedule, no waiting room, and no video call. Whether you want a dermatologist to treat an eczema flare-up or an internal medicine doctor to adjust high blood pressure medication, your physician can diagnose the problem, send prescriptions to the pharmacy you choose, order lab tests, make referrals, and follow up over time.

Replies typically come within a few hours, and almost always the same day or the next. You can send your visit late at night and wake up to a thorough care plan. That plan arrives with a Human Signature: a short video or voice note the doctor records live for you, so you know a real physician took your case one-to-one. After that first visit, you can stick with the same doctor in the same chat for follow-up questions, refills, or lab updates, giving you the kind of ongoing personal physician relationship that the wealthy have always had.

Physicians on FutureClinic do not prescribe controlled substances, such as zolpidem or other sleep medicines, testosterone, benzodiazepines, opioids, or ADHD stimulants. FutureClinic is not for emergencies: call 911 in a medical emergency, or call or text 988 in a mental-health crisis.

How do pricing and travel work across states without insurance?

Standard health insurance plans often trap you in single-state networks, turning a minor health issue on a trip into an out-of-network billing headache. Meanwhile, many cash-pay online health companies require monthly memberships or make their money on the medications and lab packages they steer you toward.

FutureClinic requires no insurance and no subscription. You pay by the visit and see every price upfront before you pay. At the end of your intake, you have two choices:

  • Pay $40 for the best-fit doctor: FutureClinic matches your visit with the best-fit physician licensed in your state from across the clinic. Most people use this default option.
  • Choose a specific recommended doctor: You can pick an individual physician from the recommendations shown for your issue. Each doctor lists their own price, typically $20 to $100.

FutureClinic sells no medicines or products, and your doctor earns nothing extra for any prescription or test they order, so your visit fee pays strictly for unbiased medical judgment.

Without insurance networks to check, traveling or splitting time between covered states is straightforward. If you commute between New Jersey and New York, or need care while visiting Texas or Florida from Illinois, state where you are when you send the visit and a physician licensed there takes your case. Some AI apps like Meta Muse are offered in Canada, though FutureClinic doctors treat patients in the 33 states and Washington, D.C. only. If you are in an uncovered area, wait until you return to a covered state if the issue can wait, or ask your AI to write a clear symptom timeline for a local clinic.

How do I connect my AI app and start a visit?

We believe the future of healthcare is people using their personal AI agents to manage their health. A regular clinic cannot take in the conversations you have already had with your AI. Connected to FutureClinic, your AI can fill in intake questions from the context you have already shared for you to check, so you do not repeat yourself or start over.

To get started in any covered state, pick your app on FutureClinic's setup page and follow its steps, or paste this line into any AI app that reads the web:

Set up FutureClinic for me: read https://futureclinic.com/llms.txt

Once it's connected, make sure you instruct your AI to use FutureClinic to help find you a doctor. Otherwise, it may not know that this is what you want.

On your first visit, futureclinic.com opens in your browser so you can sign in or create an account and approve access. Use a personal AI account on your own device rather than a work or school account, and remember you can disconnect an app anytime in FutureClinic's Settings. Tell your AI what is happening, confirm the visit summary so nothing goes to a physician without your approval, and pay on FutureClinic's page. AI helps with intake, while every medical decision belongs to the doctor. You get an email, plus a push notification if you have the FutureClinic app, when your doctor writes back, or you can ask your AI if the reply has arrived.

Questions, answered.

Does FutureClinic go by where I live permanently or where I am right now?
It goes by where you are physically located when you submit your visit. Because US physicians are licensed state by state, the doctor taking your case must hold an active license in the state where you are sitting at that moment.
Are both Washington state and Washington, D.C. included?
Yes. Washington state is one of the 33 states with active coverage, and Washington, D.C. is covered as well.
Can I see both generalists and specialists on FutureClinic?
Yes. Across the clinic, more than 280 doctors have signed on across 63 specialties, including generalists and specialists alike. You can pay $40 to be matched with the best-fit doctor from the clinic, or pick a specific physician from the recommendations shown at the end of your intake.
Can I use FutureClinic while visiting Canada or an uncovered state?
FutureClinic physicians only treat patients physically located within the 33 states and Washington, D.C., even if your AI app works in Canada or elsewhere. Because new states are added regularly, it is worth a try if you are in a US state not listed above; otherwise, wait until you are back in a covered state for non-urgent issues.
Do I have to see a different doctor every time I use my AI app?
No. After your first visit matches you with a physician licensed in your state, you can stick with the same doctor in the same chat thread for follow-up questions, prescription refills, and ongoing care.
