Curative · Covered care
Clindle clinicians are in-network with Curative and clinicians treat strep throat over a same-day video visit. Most Curative members pay only their standard office-visit copay.
Strep throat (group A streptococcal pharyngitis) presents with sudden sore throat, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and tonsillar exudate — usually without cough. The CENTOR or McIsaac score helps decide who to test. Clindle orders a rapid strep test or throat culture at a lab near you when symptoms fit, and prescribes penicillin VK or amoxicillin (or azithromycin for penicillin allergy) for confirmed cases. Untreated strep can cause rheumatic fever — that's why we treat it. Drooling, severe one-sided pain, or trouble breathing means in-person evaluation.
Clindle accepts Curative health plans. Curative members can book video visits with Clindle clinicians under their plan's benefits. We verify your Curative coverage and quote your expected out-of-pocket cost before the appointment.
We verify your specific Curative plan before the visit and tell you the expected out-of-pocket cost up front. If your plan doesn't cover telehealth, you can use the flat $50 self-pay rate instead.
