Patient Questions
All Patient Questions Lansing questions.
Does Wade’s Care First have an office in Lansing?
No. Wade’s Care First is a telehealth practice. You join your visit by secure video from home, work or anywhere in Michigan, and Charles Wade, FNP-BC is licensed to treat you while you are in the state. Anything that needs hands-on care is coordinated with facilities in and around Lansing, such as University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Lansing, Level I trauma center with a 24/7 pediatric emergency department (1215 E Michigan Ave) and McLaren Greater Lansing, Level III trauma center, 37-bed ER (2900 Collins Rd).
Where will I go for blood work if I live in Lansing?
University of Michigan Health-Sparrow maintains a directory of outpatient laboratory locations in the Lansing area. Confirm the appropriate location for your test, outside-order acceptance, appointment requirements and coverage before visiting. Results are reviewed with you after testing.
Which Lansing hospitals have an emergency department?
University of Michigan Health-Sparrow Lansing, Level I trauma center with a 24/7 pediatric emergency department (1215 E Michigan Ave) and McLaren Greater Lansing, Level III trauma center, 37-bed ER (2900 Collins Rd). For chest pain, trouble breathing, stroke symptoms, severe bleeding, a major injury or thoughts of harming yourself, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than booking a video visit.
Are there community health centers in Lansing for in-person care?
Ingham Community Health Centers (operated by the Ingham County Health Department; 10 active Lansing sites in HRSA data; Michigan’s first public-entity FQHC) and Care Free Medical (FQHC look-alike, Lansing) serve the area with in-person primary care on a sliding scale. Many patients pair that kind of local clinic with telehealth for follow-ups, medication management and specialist coordination.
Can I use Michigan Medicaid or other insurance for a telehealth visit from Lansing?
Michigan Medicaid plans are not on the participating list right now. Plans accepted in Michigan: BCBS / Anthem PPO, UnitedHealthcare PPO, UMR (PPO), Aetna PPO, Cigna PPO, Humana PPO, Ambetter PPO, TRICARE. Benefits are verified before your visit, and self-pay pricing is posted if your plan is not accepted.
Is Lansing a health professional shortage area?
Ingham County: 3 primary care HPSAs (County of Ingham FQHC 17, Care Free Medical look-alike 14, Low-Income Greater Lansing population 14) and 2 mental health HPSAs (HRSA BCD_HPSA files). Telehealth can complement local clinicians by offering another way to access primary care, mental health and medication follow-up while you keep your local relationships.
Can orders be sent to a laboratory or imaging facility near me?
When clinically appropriate, we can send orders to a laboratory or imaging facility you choose. Confirm that the location performs the requested test, accepts the order and participates in your insurance network. Availability and travel distance vary by community.

Getting care in Lansing
Michigan’s capital city, home to a county-run community health center network and a regional Level I trauma center, with access to care and behavioral health named as the area’s top health priorities.
Lansing has two emergency hospitals, University of Michigan Health-Sparrow and McLaren Greater Lansing, but the region’s own 2026 hospital implementation plan names access to care and behavioral health as its top two priorities and counts roughly 200 residents for every mental health provider. About six percent of Lansing adults under 65 had no insurance in 2023. A video visit with Charles Wade, FNP-BC, gives you primary care, mental health and ADHD follow-up, weight management, dermatology questions and urgent care for minor illness from home. He orders blood work and imaging to be done in Lansing and sends prescriptions to your pharmacy. Ingham Community Health Centers remain the local sliding-fee option when you need to be seen in person.
Access in Ingham County
HRSA designates the low-income population of the Greater Lansing service area as a primary care HPSA (score 14); the County of Ingham FQHC scores 17 (primary care) and 14 (mental health). UM Health-Sparrow’s FY25-27 implementation plan (May 2026) reports 4.9% of Ingham County adults 18-64 uninsured in 2023 (6.2% in Lansing city), about 200 residents per mental health provider (2023), 10.3% of adults with 14+ days of poor mental health, and names Access to Care and Behavioral Health as the two priority areas. ACS 2024 5-year: 6.1% uninsured; 7.3% of households with no internet subscription.
Who this helps most in Lansing
Telehealth suits Lansing residents juggling state government, university or shift schedules who need steady management of blood pressure, diabetes, depression, anxiety or ADHD, and parents of kids over five with rashes, infections or school-related concerns. Ingham County data show a third of high school students reported depression in the 2023-24 school year and one in ten adults reported two weeks or more of poor mental health, so follow-up that fits around work matters.
Go in person for physicals, immunizations, procedures and anything needing hands-on examination. For chest pain, stroke signs, severe breathing trouble, major injury or a safety crisis, call 911; UM Health-Sparrow Lansing is the region’s Level I trauma center and McLaren Greater Lansing is Level III.
Local health considerations
- Behavioral health is a named regional priority: 34.5% of Ingham County high school students reported feelings of depression in the 2023-24 school year (down from 43.8% in 2021-22), and 10.3% of adults reported 14+ days of poor mental health.
- Tobacco and vaping disparities: 14% of adults were current smokers (2020-2022) and 11.1% currently vaped, up from 8.4% in 2017-2019, with higher rates among Hispanic and Black residents respectively. Source: same UM Health-Sparrow plan.
- Medicaid choice is narrower here: only four Medicaid health plans (McLaren, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan, Aetna Better Health, HAP CareSource) are listed for Ingham County.
