Bidwell Health offers $45 online assessments for vaginal yeast infection symptoms throughout Florida, including Orlando, Gainesville and Tallahassee. Students and other adults can get a Florida-licensed clinician's review without a subscription or scheduled video call. If medication is appropriate, you choose the pharmacy and pay its medication charge separately.
For adults 18 and older physically in Florida. First-time symptoms can be evaluated through a Bidwell online visit. A licensed clinician reviews your answers and determines whether online treatment is appropriate.
Service and campus information updated .
You can choose campus care, a community clinician or an independent online service. Bidwell's $45 visit is available to clinically eligible adults 18 and older physically in Florida; enrollment at a particular school is not required. Clinical visits and messages are in English.
UCF Student Health Services offers acute and preventive gynecological care. Its student health fee covers most gynecological services, while tests, procedures and treatments can have additional charges. If you want to use that benefit or need testing, contact UCF about the appropriate appointment. Bidwell is another option when you prefer a message-based assessment for symptoms suitable for online care.
UF's Student Health Care Center lists a dedicated Gynecology & Sexual Health service and a pharmacy. The center can direct students to an appointment for vaginal symptoms. With Bidwell, you select your own local or compatible mail-order pharmacy if a prescription is appropriate; confirm any campus pharmacy's eligibility and ability to fill an outside prescription directly with that pharmacy.
The FSU Women's Clinic lists evaluation and treatment for vaginitis, UTIs and sexually transmitted infections. It is a useful campus route when you want an examination or testing. Bidwell offers clinician review seven days a week for eligible yeast visits, including weekends; this is not a guarantee of an immediate prescription or a pharmacy's opening hours.
Campus services checked September 28, 2026. Use the official links for current appointments, eligibility and charges. Bidwell Health is independent of UCF, UF and FSU.
Bidwell Health's Florida yeast infection visit is designed for adults ages 18 and older who are physically located in Florida at the time of the visit, who are not pregnant, not immunosuppressed, and whose symptoms fit an uncomplicated episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis: vulvar itching, thick white discharge, and external burning, typically with no fever and no pelvic or abdominal pain. If that fits your situation, the intake takes a few minutes and a clinician licensed in Florida reviews it 7 days a week, including weekends.
Classic uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis presents with some combination of vulvar itching, thick white curd-like discharge, vulvar burning, external redness and swelling, and pain with intercourse. These symptoms can also occur with other conditions; a clinician evaluates the pattern and decides whether treatment or testing is appropriate. Typical symptoms include:
No pelvic exam is performed during your online visit. A licensed clinician reviews your symptoms and health information and determines whether online treatment is appropriate. If testing or an in-person examination is needed, we explain the next step. Symptoms are not specific to yeast; the CDC STI Treatment Guidelines discuss diagnostic testing and treatment.
Not every vaginal-irritation pattern is yeast, and not every yeast infection is uncomplicated. Contact dermatitis from new products, bacterial vaginosis, and trichomoniasis all mimic yeast symptoms. Pregnancy and immunosuppression change the care needed. Don't use this online yeast infection visit if any of the following applies:
If any of those apply, your primary provider, an OB/GYN, or urgent care in Florida is the right path.
Vulvovaginal itching has several possible causes beyond yeast, and each responds to different treatment. Yeast, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis, contact dermatitis from products, and postmenopausal atrophic vaginitis can all present with overlapping symptoms. The distinguishing features are discharge character, odor, and recent product or partner exposure. Here's how they typically differ:
| Condition | Telltale feature | Primary treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Yeast infection (VVC) | Vulvar itching, thick white cottage-cheese discharge, no strong odor | Oral fluconazole or topical azole |
| Bacterial vaginosis | Thin grayish discharge, fishy odor (especially after sex), minimal itching | Metronidazole or clindamycin |
| Trichomoniasis | Yellow-green frothy discharge, often sexually transmitted | Metronidazole or tinidazole, partner treatment required |
| UTI | Burning during urination, urgency, frequency — no discharge | Short antibiotic course |
| Contact/allergic vulvovaginitis | Itching after new soap, detergent, lubricant, or product — no discharge | Remove trigger, consider topical steroid briefly |
| Lichen sclerosus or atrophic vaginitis | Chronic itching, thinning or white patches on vulva, postmenopausal | Topical steroid or local estrogen — in-person evaluation |
Our intake asks about symptoms, pregnancy, fever, pelvic pain, severe symptoms and STI concerns. Your clinician reviews the answers and determines whether online care is appropriate. If your clinician determines online care is not appropriate, we explain the next step and refund the visit fee. For BV specifically, we have a dedicated BV visit in Florida.
CDC and ACOG support two first-line treatment patterns for uncomplicated yeast infection — oral fluconazole 150 mg as a single dose, or topical clotrimazole or miconazole for 1, 3, or 7 days. Your provider picks based on your preference for oral vs topical, pregnancy status, and any drug interactions (warfarin, certain statins):
| Medication | Typical dose | Duration | Common side effects | Cash price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fluconazole (Diflucan) | 150 mg oral, single dose | 1 dose | Nausea, headache, abdominal discomfort | Paid separately at pharmacy |
| Clotrimazole (topical) | 1%, 2%, or 10% cream / suppository | 1, 3, or 7 days | Mild burning, local irritation | Varies by product and pharmacy |
| Miconazole (topical) | 2% or 4% cream / suppository | 1, 3, or 7 days | Mild burning | $8–18 OTC |
| Terconazole (topical, Rx) | 0.4% or 0.8% cream / suppository | 3 or 7 days | Local irritation | $30–60 |
Over-the-counter topicals are effective for uncomplicated candidiasis; many patients prefer the convenience of a single oral dose of fluconazole.
Start with the kind of evaluation you need and the services you already have access to. A campus health fee may cover part of a visit; Bidwell is a separate self-pay assessment. A test, medication or pharmacy delivery charge should not be mistaken for the clinician's visit fee.
For uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis in non-pregnant women, our clinicians typically offer oral fluconazole 150 mg single-dose as first-line when the patient prefers oral therapy and has no contraindications (liver disease, significant drug interactions like warfarin or certain statins). The rationale: one dose, high resolution rate, convenient adherence. For patients who prefer topical therapy, clotrimazole or miconazole are equally effective and available over-the-counter. First-time symptoms can be evaluated through a Bidwell online visit. A licensed clinician reviews your answers and determines whether online treatment is appropriate.
Three or more symptomatic yeast infections in less than a year are considered recurrent. Repeated infections warrant clinical evaluation and testing and may require a longer treatment plan. Recurrent infections are considered individually by your clinician. Depending on your history and symptoms, testing, an in-person evaluation or a longer treatment plan may be recommended.
Once your Florida prescription is routed to your chosen pharmacy, pharmacy pickup timing varies. Fluconazole begins working within 24 hours — you should notice itching and burning starting to decrease within a day or two, with full symptom resolution typically in 3 to 7 days. Topical regimens are completed as directed (1, 3, or 7 days). If symptoms have not improved meaningfully within 7 days, contact your clinician for follow-up. New fever, pelvic or lower abdominal pain, severe vaginal symptoms or STI concerns need prompt in-person evaluation; do not wait for a portal reply.
If your intake shows that online care is not appropriate because of pregnancy, an unclear diagnosis or findings suggesting a different condition, we'll tell you, refund your visit fee, and direct you to the appropriate in-person option in Florida (OB/GYN, primary care, or urgent care as needed).
Our online service is available statewide to eligible adults physically in Florida. Treatment depends on clinician review, and any prescribed medication is filled through the pharmacy you choose.
Miami-Dade patients can use the online visit while physically in Florida, including when their usual clinician is elsewhere. Bidwell clinical care is in English. If you need care in another language, confirm that the service you choose can meet that need before paying. Start a Miami yeast assessment.
In Jacksonville, choose the pharmacy location you will actually use, rather than relying on the chain name alone. If treatment is appropriate, the prescription goes to that location; contact the pharmacy for readiness and cost. If symptoms began after antibiotics, our antibiotics and yeast infection guide explains the connection and when to seek assessment.
Tampa Bay patients can select a pharmacy near home, work or school, or compatible mail order. Consider whether you will still be at the delivery address when an order arrives. Shipping and medication are paid to the pharmacy separately. For treatment questions after your visit, use the Bidwell portal's 21-day messaging window. Start a Tampa yeast assessment.
A Florida school address does not determine telehealth eligibility. Be physically in Florida for a Florida visit. If you leave the state for a break, check where Bidwell currently provides care before starting another visit. Visitors and students from another state follow the same age and clinical requirements as Florida residents.
Describe your symptoms and complete the safety screening. A Florida-licensed clinician reviews the information seven days a week and may ask follow-up questions before deciding on treatment. The assessment can lead to a prescription, further advice or a recommendation for in-person care.
If a prescription is appropriate, it is sent electronically to the pharmacy you selected. Check with the pharmacy before traveling for pickup or placing a delivery order. Your $45 visit includes 21 days of messaging about your care, so you can return to the portal with questions about the plan.
Bidwell Health serves adults physically located in Florida for supported online visits. A clinician licensed for Florida reviews the intake, and treatment is offered only when the online visit fits Bidwell Health's clinical scope.
An approved prescription can go to the local pharmacy you choose in Florida or a compatible mail-order pharmacy, including Amazon Pharmacy or Cost Plus Drugs. A compounding pharmacy can be selected when appropriate for the prescription. Bidwell does not dispense or ship medication. The pharmacy controls its prices, insurance processing, stock and delivery options; confirm those details directly. Read which pharmacies you can choose.

No. You can complete the Bidwell intake from a private place in Florida without a scheduled video appointment. A clinician reviews it and decides whether online treatment fits. If you need an examination or testing, use an appropriate in-person service.

Only while physically in Florida. If you travel outside Florida, check Bidwell's current state availability before starting a visit. Having a Florida college address does not establish your location at the time of care.
First-time symptoms can be evaluated through a Bidwell online visit. A licensed clinician reviews your answers and determines whether online treatment is appropriate.
Three or more symptomatic yeast infections in less than a year are considered recurrent. Repeated infections warrant clinical evaluation and testing and may require a longer treatment plan. Recurrent infections are considered individually by your clinician. Depending on your history and symptoms, testing, an in-person evaluation or a longer treatment plan may be recommended.

Pregnancy, immunosuppression or poorly controlled diabetes, fever or pelvic pain, severe symptoms, STI concerns, and discharge suggesting a different infection need in-person evaluation or testing rather than this yeast visit. A first episode is eligible for clinician assessment, and recurrent infections are reviewed individually.
The fee covers clinician assessment, a prescription when clinically appropriate, and 21 days of messaging about your visit. Medication and any pharmacy shipping charges are separate. There is no required subscription. If your clinician decides online care is not appropriate, the visit fee is refunded.
We do not bill insurance for your Bidwell visit. Medication is purchased separately. If you use insurance at your pharmacy, the pharmacy may submit a medication claim to your insurer.
Symptoms often begin improving within a few days, but timing varies. Follow the treatment instructions and contact your clinician if symptoms persist or worsen. New fever, pelvic pain or severe symptoms warrant prompt in-person care.
These short guides explain how no-video visits, pharmacy pickup, and state availability work for Bidwell Health patients.
