What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices or a consultation fee. It does not say whether a monthly fee would include medication, and it does not say whether it accepts insurance for the medical program. It also does not mention cash-pay rates or membership terms.
For surgery, patients are told to check coverage with their insurer, since every policy has different co-pay, deductible and co-insurance amounts. A few budget figures are given: vitamins are not covered and cost $15 to $30 per month, and surgery patients need three to five protein drinks a day, which insurance also does not cover.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription and whether you will see that same prescriber at follow-up visits. Ask whether the monthly fee includes medication, which medications the program uses, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether the program uses GLP-1 medications. Ask whether the consultation fee is billed to insurance, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether any part of the nonsurgical program can be done by video, since this is not described. Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a contract. If you are considering surgery, ask what the testing and appointments before surgery cost, since these can take three to 12 months or longer.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a hospital-affiliated program with physician direction and surgical options, and you are willing to sort out pricing and insurance by phone before you book. It is less likely to suit you if you need a published monthly price or a video-only program, since neither is described.
