This listing is for its Wichita office at 6525 East Mainsgate Rd..

What does it cost?

Mental health and primary care visits are $220 for a new patient (30-40 minutes estimated) and $120 for a follow-up (15-20 minutes estimated). The medical weight loss section lists a self-pay rate of $55 per visit. It does not say which of these applies to weight loss visits, so ask.

Medication is listed as "Starting at" $199 for semaglutide and $299 for tirzepatide. No unit is stated, whether per week, per month or per visit. It does not say whether the medication is included in that price. In its own words: "Pricing may vary depending on availability from our compounding pharmacy partners."

It accepts insurance plans but does not name them. Self-pay is by major credit card, including CareCredit, processed through Square. It does not mention HSA use, membership terms, or cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the $199 and $299 figures include the medication, and whether they are weekly, monthly or per visit. Ask whether the medication is compounded or brand name. The Nudge can prescribe Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound or Mounjaro for a regular pharmacy, but it does not list brand-name prices, so get both numbers before you decide. It also notes that compounded medications are not FDA-approved, so ask what that means for your treatment.

Ask what follow-up visits will cost. Ongoing follow-up appointments are required, so find out how often you will need them and whether lab work is billed separately. Ask whether Blair Watkins is the provider who prescribes and monitors your treatment.

Ask how to cancel and whether there is a membership or minimum term. Ask whether your insurance plan is accepted. No clinic hours are listed, and the states its telehealth visits cover are not listed either, so ask both.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want video visits with a provider based in Wichita and you are ready to pay cash for medication whose full cost is still unclear to you. The clinic serves patients from age 9 to 70, so check first if you fall outside that range. If you need emergency care, call 911, since this clinic does not provide it.
