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: specific detail for Iowa's largest metros. Our online yeast infection treatment is available to residents statewide, but patients in these cities most often ask how the pharmacy pickup and provider licensing works locally.
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. In Des Moines, we prescribe oral fluconazole (Diflucan) or topical antifungals as appropriate — usually filled the same day at any Polk County pharmacy. Our intake distinguishes yeast infection from bacterial vaginosis, which we don't treat online but will redirect you for in-person care. Start a Des Moines yeast visit →
Cedar Rapids and Marion patients fill at Hy-Vee, Walgreens, or Target Pharmacy. Iowa allows full practice authority for qualified APRNs — our providers can treat you independently. In Cedar Rapids, we prescribe oral fluconazole (Diflucan) or topical antifungals as appropriate — usually filled the same day at any Linn County pharmacy. Our intake distinguishes yeast infection from bacterial vaginosis, which we don't treat online but will redirect you for in-person care. Start a Cedar Rapids yeast visit →
Davenport, Bettendorf, and the broader Quad Cities area have Hy-Vee, Walgreens, and CVS coverage. We prescribe to any Iowa pharmacy regardless of chain. In Davenport, we prescribe oral fluconazole (Diflucan) or topical antifungals as appropriate — usually filled the same day at any Quad Cities pharmacy. Our intake distinguishes yeast infection from bacterial vaginosis, which we don't treat online but will redirect you for in-person care. Start a Davenport yeast visit →

If your symptoms suggest something more serious, or if our intake identifies a contraindication, we'll let you know and refund your visit — no questions asked.
Fluconazole (Diflucan) 150 mg single dose, or topical miconazole if pregnant — prescribed by your provider based on your history.
Your provider will select the right medication based on your history, allergies, current medications, and (where relevant) pregnancy status.
Iowa is a full-practice authority state — ARNPs evaluate, diagnose, and prescribe independently. Bidwell Health's providers hold active Iowa licensure — verifiable through the state Board of Nursing's online lookup. All patient information is encrypted end-to-end and handled under HIPAA-compliant infrastructure (Supabase + Resend + Twilio, all with signed Business Associate Agreements). Your medical record is never sold, shared, or used for advertising.
We send prescriptions to any licensed pharmacy in Iowa, including Hy-Vee (based in Iowa), CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Costco locations in the Des Moines and Cedar Rapids metros. Pick whichever is most convenient — we don't steer you to a particular one.
Between primary care providers? We also offer 90-day bridge refills for chronic medications in Iowa — SSRIs, blood pressure meds, thyroid, inhalers, and more. Same $45 flat fee, one medication per visit. No controlled substances.

Yes — Iowa residents can complete a short online intake. Our licensed provider reviews symptoms and history, and if a diagnosis of uncomplicated vulvovaginal candidiasis is appropriate, prescribes oral fluconazole to your Iowa pharmacy.
If you're pregnant, have recurrent yeast infections (four or more in a year), have diabetes with poor glycemic control, are immunocompromised, or have symptoms inconsistent with yeast (fever, pelvic pain, unusual discharge), our Iowa provider will refer you to in-person care.
Most people with uncomplicated yeast feel improvement within 24–48 hours of a single oral fluconazole dose. If symptoms persist beyond 7 days, follow-up is needed — we can help coordinate in-person care in Iowa if that becomes necessary.
$45 flat. Fluconazole itself typically runs $5–20 at Iowa pharmacies (Hy-Vee, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and Target (CVS inside), and most local independents) with GoodRx pricing. No subscription, no hidden fees.
Yes — our clinicians hold active Iowa nursing licensure with autonomous-practice privileges, verifiable through the Iowa Board of Nursing. We follow CDC and ACOG guidelines for vulvovaginal candidiasis.
