Get evaluated and prescribed by a Iowa-licensed provider — without the waiting room, the $180 urgent-care visit, or the insurance headache. Bidwell Health is a flat $45, same-day service available to Iowa residents across the Midwest corn belt.
We treat Iowa residents in every ZIP code — urban, suburban, and rural. Your pharmacy is any licensed pharmacy in the state, so you fill the prescription wherever is closest.
Below: quick detail on how our service fits the top population centers in Iowa. Our online UTI treatment reaches every ZIP code in the state — urban, suburban, and rural — but here's what patients in these metros typically ask about.
Des Moines, West Des Moines, and Ankeny patients use Hy-Vee, Walgreens, CVS, or Costco pharmacy. Hy-Vee is particularly strong in Iowa and often has the fastest same-day turnaround. An uncomplicated UTI in Des Moines is treated the same way we treat one anywhere else in Iowa: a 5-minute intake form, provider review within hours, and a prescription (usually nitrofurantoin, cephalexin, or TMP-SMX) sent directly to your Polk County pharmacy.
