What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. It does not state a consultation fee, say whether it accepts insurance, or say whether any price includes medication. Its office and financial policies appear under its patient forms, which is worth reading before you book. Ask for the full cost of your first visit and of each month of treatment, in writing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes each prescription, and whether Terry L. Franklin, MD, sees you in person before a prescription for weight loss medication or hormone therapy. Ask which GLP-1 medication you would receive, and whether it is a brand-name product or a compounded one. Ask whether a monthly fee covers that medication at all.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether your first visit can be virtual or at home, and what each option costs. Ask whether it accepts insurance and how cancellation works.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a family physician who also offers hormone therapy and GLP-1 medication, you are ready to pay directly, and you want the full cost in writing before your first visit. It is worth calling if you would prefer in-office, virtual, or home visits from a Monterey practice with weekday hours.
