LifeMD Weight Management

LifeMD

LifeMD is a broad primary-care telehealth subscription rather than a weight-loss-only service, with weight management as one programme among several. It publishes a low base membership and prices video visits and medication separately.

What stands out

  • The $19 base membership is the lowest published in this directory, but it is a general telehealth subscription rather than a weight programme.
  • Multiple plan tiers are published, so the tier that includes weight management may not be the $19 one.
  • Visits are charged separately from membership, which is a third cost line most competitors do not have.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

  • Establish which tier actually covers weight management — the headline $19 may not.
  • Membership, visits and medication are three separate charges. Add all three.
  • The subscription auto-renews; confirm the cancellation route before signing up.

May suit

People who want general telehealth access with weight management as one part of it.

Limitations

  • Tier structure is complex and the weight-management tier is not clearly the headline price.
  • Medication type was not stated on the page we captured.

Frequently asked

Is $19 the total cost?

No. Their published membership page shows $19 as a base subscription charged each billing cycle, with video visits at $50 cash (or your co-pay with insurance) and medication published from $149/month.
