What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, and it does not state a consultation fee. The consultation is described as a medical visit that is usually covered by insurance. The practice accepts most insurance, and its weight-loss page names plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Blue Care Network, Priority Health and Health Alliance Plan (HAP). Treatment coverage varies by plan, and self-pay options are explained before you decide.

It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it shows no dose or brand pricing. How long you stay varies. Many patients stay in the program for a year or more, then move to a maintenance plan. It does not publish a cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, and whether semaglutide or tirzepatide would be brand-name or compounded. Ask which of the three physicians would prescribe and manage your treatment. Ask what the baseline lab work, each check-in and any maintenance plan cost, and how you end the program.

In its own words: "Check-ins are monthly at first and can be by phone or video once you are stable on your plan." Ask whether a video or phone check-in is billed the same as an office visit. Ask which insurance plan covers the consultation and which covers the medication.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you have tried diet and exercise on their own, your BMI or a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes or sleep apnea fits the practice's criteria, and you want weight-loss care from the same practice that treats your skin. If you need a published price before you book, call first, because it does not publish one.
