Plans with required add-ons

Found, Hone Health, LifeMD Women's Health, PlushCare and Sesame publish a plan price that leaves out a required charge. We list it with the add-on, but never as the "from" price.

Not stated on their site

3 of 9
Musely, LifeMD Women's Health and Ivim Health leave at least one of consultation, membership, labs or cancellation terms off their pages. Ask before you pay.

Pro tip: ask for the total monthly cost, month to month, with everything required included, before you sign up. The advertised price is often the longest prepaid plan. Every row on our price page shows the billing term its price requires.
