Chronic care in Michigan.

Company statements checked September 13, 2026: 2 covered companies — LifeMD and PlushCare — advertise online chronic care services to patients in Michigan. Confirm eligibility and total charges with the provider.

Two selected online chronic-care options whose company statements name Michigan, separating repeat-visit condition management from a membership that gives repeat provider access.

For patients in Michigan. These are advertised online services, not verified local offices, appointment slots or prescription guarantees.

The cheapest number on each company’s page is not the cost of a year of chronic care from Michigan. PlushCare’s $129 self-pay visit and LifeMD’s $19 a month membership are both real published figures, but the first is a single appointment and the second buys access rather than care. This page sets out the pieces so the total can be worked out, and records what the two nationwide statements do not cover.

What Michigan is included in

Both companies reach Michigan through a statement naming all fifty states rather than a Michigan-specific page. On PlushCare’s primary-care page, the FAQ says patients in all 50 states can book appointments to discuss their health concerns with a board-certified physician, and chronic care management, described as collaborative care plans for diabetes, hypertension, asthma, thyroid disorders and more, is listed among the services. On the LifeMD+ page, “Available in all 50 states” sits at the top beside the membership price. Neither statement is a state-by-service table, names an office in Michigan or reserves a clinician or appointment time.

Adding up PlushCare

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 that paying the membership fee is not a requirement to receive medical services. The clinicians are the same ones who handle primary care, not a dedicated chronic-care team, and the cited pages describe no monitoring programme, enrolment step or supplied devices. For company background, see the PlushCare profile.

Adding up LifeMD

The membership is $19 a month with no commitment and cancellation at any time. Visits and messaging are charged separately, which is why no programme price exists: the offering is membership plus visits. Laboratory testing is another separate cost, with an exception the page states: 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, and members should check their own lab quote. The LifeMD profile covers the company.

The comparison that matters

Visit price times the number of reviews a condition needs in a year, plus membership, plus pharmacy and lab charges, is the figure to compare, and it can exceed what the headline prices suggest. Everything here is company-reported rather than verified. A structured programme with enrolment and monitoring is a different model, explained on the chronic-care overview; the ones covered there run through an employer or health plan and none is listed for Michigan on this page. Confirm the clinician and the annual total with the company first.

Which providers serve Michigan?

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.

LifeMD

LifeMD+ membership giving repeat access to providers for ongoing needs, with visits and messaging charged separately from the membership

Official website ↗
  • Live visit

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, Michigan 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.

PlushCare

Ongoing condition management delivered through repeat physician visits rather than a separate programme

Official website ↗
  • Live visit

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.

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 Michigan. That is where its repeat-visit condition management is offered, not a Michigan 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.

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.

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.
