LifeMD sells telehealth as a membership. LifeMD+ costs $19 a month with no commitment, and members pay $50 cash or their copay for a video visit and $20 for a message consult. LifeMD says video visits are available within an hour of request and that providers can be reached 24/7, including weekends and holidays, for colds, flu, rashes and same-day prescription refills. The service is available in all 50 states, and beyond urgent care it runs programs for mental health, weight loss with GLP-1 drugs such as Wegovy and Zepbound, sexual health, hair loss and menopause. At-home lab testing runs through Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp, but lab costs fall to the patient or their insurance. The math is the key question: one $50 visit plus a month of membership is $69, which beats Teladoc's cash price, but people who see a doctor online once a year will pay more over time than with a pay-per-visit service.
