About Blue Sky MD Charlotte

What is Blue Sky MD Charlotte?

Blue Sky MD is a medical weight loss and hormone practice that has been open since 2008. Its Charlotte area offices are in North Charlotte, South Charlotte and Mooresville, and it also has offices in Asheville, Hendersonville, Greensboro and Clemmons. Telehealth follow-ups are offered alongside in-person visits. The practice describes itself as physician-led. The two prescribers named for its Charlotte offices are Jasmine Chambliss, FNP-BC, and Nikol Timmons, PA-C.

Weight loss is one of four services, alongside hormone replacement therapy for women, testosterone therapy (TRT) for men and advanced lab testing. The weight loss program uses semaglutide and tirzepatide as part of a full medical plan, not as a standalone prescription. Brand names include Wegovy, Ozempic, Zepbound and Mounjaro, and compounded options are also offered. For women, the hormone plans use bioidentical options in the form of pellets, transdermal or oral treatments. In its own words: "Understanding first. Treatment second." Google reviewers give the practice 4.6 stars across 267 reviews.

This listing is for its Charlotte office at 6051 Tyvola Glen Cir.

What does it cost?

Self-pay semaglutide starts at $40 a week, and tirzepatide starts at $60 a week for patients who medically qualify. It does not say whether those weekly prices include the medication or only the visits. Visits and labs are usually billed to insurance. The practice is in-network with most major insurance and also offers self-pay options. Virtual visits are described as included in the weight loss program, with no extra charge.

It does not publish a consultation fee, membership terms, cancellation terms, or prices for hormone therapy, testosterone therapy or advanced lab testing.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who will write and monitor your prescription, and whether a physician oversees it, since the two prescribers named for the Charlotte offices hold FNP-BC and PA-C credentials.

Ask whether the $40 or $60 weekly price includes the medication, and what visits, follow-up and lab work cost on top of it.

Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, and how the price differs between the two, since both are offered.

Ask for the consultation fee and the cost of the first-visit labs and resting metabolic rate testing, and whether your insurance will be billed for them.

Ask how to cancel, how much notice is required and whether there is a fee, since no membership or cancellation terms are listed. If you expect to see a provider from outside North Carolina, ask which states telehealth covers.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live near North or South Charlotte or Mooresville, want a practice that bills insurance but also offers a self-pay price for GLP-1 medication, and are ready to ask the questions above before committing to a weekly or monthly plan. If you need the full cost, including the first visit and labs, you will have to ask for it directly, because those numbers are not published.
