What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or membership terms. It does not say whether a monthly cost, if there is one, includes medication. Its only statement on coverage reads: "Coverage varies. Check with your insurance provider to see what services are included." It does not say whether it takes insurance, is cash pay, or offers an HSA or financing. The free bariatric seminars cost nothing to attend, and caregivers are welcome.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which of the listed providers would prescribe for you, and who you would see at each visit. Ask whether any monthly fee includes medication, and whether the drug is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the consultation, follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether those are billed separately. Ask whether the clinic accepts your insurance and what it would bill. Ask how you cancel or stop, and whether there is a minimum term.
Ask whether hormone therapy is offered, since it is not named for this program. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since that is not stated. If surgery interests you, note that attending a seminar comes before any consultation with a surgeon about the surgical program. The seminars run twice a month, on the second Thursday at 6 pm and the last Saturday at 9 am.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want physician-supervised weight-loss care that could lead to surgery later, and you are ready to get prices and medication details in writing before you commit. It is less likely to fit if you are looking for hormone therapy or telehealth, since neither is named.
