What does it cost?

The one price it publishes is a $59.99 new patient consultation, booked by calling 618-954-7434 or by email. A first visit includes an intake form, a personalized assessment, and a review of your goals and budget. It does not publish prices for weight loss programs, testosterone support, shots or IV hydration. It says pricing varies by program or services selected. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. Membership terms, cancellation, HSA and financing are not mentioned.

It says it accepts a wide range of insurance plans, but it does not name any of them. Its insurance section lists Illinois and Florida. Ask whether your specific plan is accepted before you assume it is covered.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. Gerthy Cipus Pierre is the named prescriber, so ask whether she reviews and signs each prescription herself, and who covers when she is unavailable.

Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and what the medication costs on its own. Ask whether any medication is compounded or brand-name. The FAQ says the practice works with compounding pharmacies, so ask what that means for the product you actually receive. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether a consultation reviews your health history before any weight loss medication is discussed, since the FAQ says that depends on your medical history. Ask how you cancel and whether any membership term applies.

Confirm the suite number too. Its address appears as Suite 3 in one place and Suite 7D in its FAQ. Ask who provides the mental health care, since no name or credential is given for that professional.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a nurse practitioner-led program that can be in person in O'Fallon or by telehealth in Illinois or Missouri, and you are ready to ask about medication cost, compounding and insurance before you commit. If you need a published price list or a named list of insurance plans, call first and get those answers in writing.
