About MidlifeRx

What is MidlifeRx?

MidlifeRx is a cash-pay practice at 879 Park Avenue West, Suite 111, in Mansfield, Ohio. Its main work is hormone therapy and weight loss. Its listed services also include direct primary care, peri and postmenopausal care, HRT for men and women, thyroid and metabolic care, libido and sexual health, and weight management. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a 4.8 rating from 26 reviews.

Ashley Wilford is a Nurse Practitioner and one of the two prescribers. Dr. Brown is the other, and no credential or full name is given for Dr. Brown.

On weight loss, the practice is direct: "Yes, Midlife Rx can prescribe medications that help with weight loss, as long as they are medically justified." The medications it names are GLP-1 injections, phentermine, naltrexone, topiramate and bupropion. Visits can be in person, by video or by phone, but only for patients living in Ohio. Office contact is by text at 419.405.8686. Posted hours are Monday and Thursday from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 12 PM, all by appointment.

What does it cost?

The one published price is $400 for the initial consultation and a personalized lab panel, due before your first appointment. That covers a health assessment, a provider review and a LabCorp panel. The practice does not bill insurance, but HSA or FSA funds can be used for visits, membership and labs.

Membership is an ongoing monthly subscription, and it is required for access to care. Its price is not published. Membership includes longer visits, direct communication with your provider, virtual care, and discounted pricing on labs and medications. Prescriptions and medications are not part of the membership fee. It does not say whether any medication is included in the $400, and no medication prices are published. Cancellation terms are not given.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask for Dr. Brown's full name and credentials, and ask who would sign any prescription you receive. Ask what the monthly membership costs and whether you must join before you can book. Ask what each medication costs per month, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether any medication is covered by the $400. Ask what follow-up lab work costs, since labs may be needed before a medication is prescribed or adjusted. Ask how to cancel membership and whether you pay for the month you cancel. Ask which visits must happen in person, since controlled substances require one under Ohio and federal law.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Ohio, can pay $400 up front plus a monthly membership, and want an ongoing relationship with a clinician for hormones, thyroid or weight. It is a poor match for someone who needs a single prescription and does not want a subscription.
