This listing is for its Carmel office at 12337 Hancock St Ste 18.

What does it cost?

Weight loss programs start at $199 a month, on 1-month, 3-month or 6-month plans. It does not say whether the monthly fee includes medication. It also notes that membership fees vary by program and location, and that extra costs may apply for lab work, medications, supplements or specialized treatments.

There is also a $199 one-time new patient visit. It invites you to book a free assessment as well, so confirm which one you would pay for.

For compounded medication, it lists a first-month offer of $99 for compounded semaglutide and $199 for compounded tirzepatide. It gives no price after the first month. Brand-name medications are available when insurance covers them. It accepts plans including UnitedHealthcare, Aetna and Cigna, and says coverage varies by location. It says many insured patients pay $0 to $50 per visit, depending on coverage and deductible status. HSA and FSA funds can be used. It does not publish what lab work costs or how to cancel a plan.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and what training that person has, since no prescriber is named. Ask whether the $199 monthly fee includes the medication or whether the drug is billed on top of it. If you are considering compounded medication, ask what it costs after the first month. Its fine print says: "Compounded drug products are not approved or evaluated for safety, effectiveness, or quality by the FDA." Ask what that means for the version you would receive.

Ask whether the $199 visit applies or whether the assessment is free. Ask what lab work is needed before you start, since every program begins with lab work and a medical assessment, and what that lab work costs. Ask how a monthly plan is cancelled and whether cancelling carries a fee. If you want telehealth or hormone care, ask about those too, because it does not say whether either is offered here.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want in-person visits, plan to pay cash or use HSA or FSA funds, and want written answers on the prescriber, the monthly fee and cancellation before you pay. If you need telehealth or hormone care from this office, get those answers first.
