What does it cost?

New Directions does not publish prices. There is no consultation fee, no weight loss program price, and no cost for pellet insertions or medication. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, whether any fee includes medication, or whether it offers financing or a membership. Ask for each number before you schedule anything.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and whether Dr. Smith will see you in person for each renewal. Ask whether the weight loss fee includes medication, and which medication it is. The practice does not name the weight loss medication it uses, so ask for the brand name and whether any medication is compounded.

Ask what the consultation costs, what lab work and follow-up visits cost, and whether those are billed separately. For pellet therapy, ask the price of each insertion and how often insertions happen. Ask whether the practice accepts insurance or HSA funds, whether telehealth is offered, what its hours are, and how to cancel if you change your mind.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near Rogers, want an in person visit with a physician whose work centers on hormone therapy, and are ready to get prices and medication terms in writing before you pay. If you need a published price list, telehealth, or posted hours before you call, wait until you have confirmed them.
