Chronic care in Maryland.
Company statements checked September 13, 2026: 2 covered companies — LifeMD and PlushCare — advertise online chronic care services to patients in Maryland. Confirm eligibility and total charges with the provider.
Two selected online chronic-care options whose company statements name Maryland, separating repeat-visit condition management from a membership that gives repeat provider access.
For patients in Maryland. These are advertised online services, not verified local offices, appointment slots or prescription guarantees.
A Maryland reader comparing PlushCare and LifeMD for an ongoing condition is comparing two ways of paying for repeat visits, not two programmes. The summary below keeps to what the cited pages establish, item by item, and flags where each company’s nationwide statement stops.
What reaches Maryland
PlushCare’s primary-care page FAQ: patients in all 50 states can book appointments to discuss their health concerns with a board-certified physician. LifeMD’s LifeMD+ page: the membership is available in all 50 states. Both include Maryland; neither names it, an office there, a clinician or an appointment time.
What is sold
- PlushCare sells visits. Chronic care management is one of its primary-care services, described as collaborative care plans for diabetes, hypertension, asthma, thyroid disorders and more. The same clinicians who handle primary care provide it; there is no dedicated chronic-care team.
- LifeMD sells a membership. It gives repeat access to board-certified providers for ongoing needs; a dedicated chronic-condition team is not established, so confirm the clinician at booking.
What it costs
- PlushCare: self-pay initial visits at $129; an optional membership at $19.99 a month that the terms say is not required to receive medical services; no chronic-care price of its own.
- LifeMD: $19 a month with no commitment and cancellation at any time; visits and messaging charged separately; no programme price.
Labs
- PlushCare: its cited primary-care page says medication and lab costs are not included in the visit price and advertises lab discounts for members.
- LifeMD: provider-ordered specialty-programme labs completed at Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp are at no cost to the member; other labs are paid through insurance or out of pocket; members should check their own lab quote.
What neither page describes
An enrolment step, monitoring devices, a supplied-device programme or a care team. For PlushCare that is an absence of published detail rather than confirmation that no such option exists.
Company-reported, not verified. Background is on the PlushCare profile and the LifeMD profile; the chronic-care overview explains the structured-programme model reached through an employer or health plan, which is not listed for Maryland. Confirm the clinician and the annual total with the company before relying on either.

Selected providers
Which providers serve Maryland?
2 companies with published profiles and service-specific source records. Listed alphabetically, not ranked. This is selected coverage—not every provider in the market.
Formats describe the program, not a guaranteed first-visit option in every state. A messaging or questionnaire option does not promise an initial evaluation without a live appointment. Read each provider’s service and state access notes.
| Company & service | Program formats & clinicians | Payment & advertised charges | Access & evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| LifeMD LifeMD+ membership giving repeat access to providers for ongoing needs, with visits and messaging charged separately from the membership Official website ↗ |
Company-described board-certified providers. The cited pages establish repeat access to providers rather than a dedicated chronic-condition care team, so the clinician seen for ongoing needs should be confirmed at booking. Access channel: Direct to consumer | Cash pay · Insurance The LifeMD+ membership is advertised at $19 a month with no commitment and cancellation at any time. Membership and care are separate charges. Laboratory testing is a further cost except provider-ordered specialty-programme labs completed at Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp, which the page says are at no cost to the member; it also says it cannot cover lab charges for members in New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island, who are billed by the lab directly. No price specific to a chronic-condition programme is published, because the offering is membership plus visits rather than a named programme. | LifeMD's LifeMD+ page states the membership is available in all 50 states, Maryland among them. That covers the membership giving repeat provider access, not a structured chronic-condition programme with enrolment, devices or a dedicated care team; visits and messaging are charged separately, and lab charges are the member's except provider-ordered specialty-programme labs at Quest or Labcorp, which the page says are covered. The LifeMD+ membership page carries the statement "Available in all 50 states" at the top of the page, beside the $19 a month membership price. That speaks for the membership that gives repeat access to providers, which is the chronic-care service recorded for this company, not for a structured chronic-condition programme with enrolment, monitoring devices or a dedicated care team, none of which the page describes. Visits and messaging are charged separately from the membership. On laboratory testing, the page says provider-ordered specialty-programme labs completed at Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp are at no cost to the member, that because of state regulations it cannot cover lab charges for members in New York, New Jersey or Rhode Island, who are billed by the lab directly, and that other labs are paid through insurance or out of pocket; members should check their own lab quote. The District of Columbia is not named, so the record enumerates the fifty states only. State evidence checked · State availability source The LifeMD+ page states the membership is available in all fifty states. The cited pages describe repeat access to providers for ongoing needs; they do not establish a structured chronic-condition programme with enrolment, monitoring devices or a dedicated care team.

| PlushCare Ongoing condition management delivered through repeat physician visits rather than a separate programme Official website ↗ |
The membership pages describe the nation's top doctors and do not establish a guaranteed assigned-clinician credential for ongoing condition management. The same clinicians who handle primary care, rather than a dedicated chronic-care team. Access channel: Direct to consumer, Health plan | Cash pay · Insurance There is no separate chronic-care price. Care is billed as ordinary visits, with self-pay initial visits listed at $129 and an optional membership at $19.99 a month. The terms state in capitals that paying the membership fee is not a requirement to receive medical services. | PlushCare's primary-care FAQ says patients in all 50 states can book appointments with a board-certified physician, which takes in Maryland. That is where its repeat-visit condition management is offered, not a Maryland office, a reserved appointment or a separate monitoring programme; the District of Columbia is not named. PlushCare's primary-care page lists chronic care management, described as collaborative care plans for diabetes, hypertension, asthma, thyroid disorders and more, among its primary-care services, and its FAQ answer naming chronic conditions among the services offered states in the same paragraph that patients in all 50 states can easily book appointments to discuss their health concerns with a board-certified physician. That is a statement about where appointments can be booked, not a state-by-service table, so it says the ongoing-condition service is offered from anywhere in the country rather than which clinician or appointment time is available to a particular patient. It does not establish a separate monitoring programme, enrolment step or supplied devices; the page describes ongoing care delivered through repeat visits. The District of Columbia is not named, so the record enumerates the fifty states only. The membership and terms pages cited on the hub row make no state statement. State evidence checked · State availability source The cited pages describe ongoing primary-care visits and do not establish a separate monitoring programme, enrolment step or supplied devices. That is an absence of published detail rather than confirmation that no such option exists. Company-reported. Company-reported · Checked |

How companies enter this list
Each selected company has a published profile, a maintained service row and a separately reviewed match to current evidence for this state. A general national footprint is insufficient. The list is selective; an omitted provider is not necessarily unavailable. Inclusion does not establish clinical suitability, state licensure or a currently available appointment.
Smaller and larger providers use the same source requirements and alphabetical ordering. Visit each profile for company history and wider context, or suggest another provider.
