What does it cost?

Elevate MD does not publish prices, and it does not publish a consultation fee. The first step it offers is a free discovery call. It does not accept insurance for blood work or hormone optimization therapy, so you should expect to pay for both yourself. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it does not say whether medical weight loss visits can be billed to insurance. Ask for every fee in writing before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who signs the prescription. Ask whether it will be Dr. Franzese or Dr. Sawma, or a nurse practitioner, and whether you will see the same person at each follow-up. Next, ask whether any monthly fee includes the hormone medication or whether it is billed separately, and whether the testosterone or estradiol is a brand-name product or a compounded one. Ask what blood work costs and how often it is repeated, since insurance will not cover it here. For the weight loss program, ask which medications, if any, are part of the plan and what they cost. Finally, ask how cancellation works and whether there is a membership term or a fee to leave early.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are paying cash anyway, want hormone care or cosmetic treatment in Cincinnati or by video, and are willing to get the prices in writing before the first visit. If you need insurance billing or a published price list, call first and ask the questions above.
