What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether medication is included in any monthly cost. It does not say whether insurance is accepted. BayCare's bariatric program describes a self-pay option, but it gives no figures for it. Ask for every fee in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who prescribes the GLP-1 medication and whether that person sees patients at this location. BayCare's bariatric program names semaglutide as one example of a GLP-1, so ask which drug would be used and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the medication is part of any monthly price, what a consultation costs, and whether insurance covers any of it. If surgery is under consideration, ask which procedure is recommended and what the total cost includes, such as the surgeon, the facility and follow-up visits. Ask whether follow-up visits and lab work are billed separately, whether telehealth visits are offered, and how cancellation and refunds work for any prepaid fees.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you are considering bariatric surgery or a GLP-1 medication and want an in-person program tied to a hospital system. It suits readers who are comfortable asking for every price in writing before committing. If you need a posted price list or a clear answer on insurance, call (727) 825-1495 before you book.
