About APEX Anti-Aging Solutions Inside SC Stemcell

What is APEX Anti-Aging Solutions Inside SC Stemcell?

APEX Anti-Aging Solutions operates inside SC Stemcell at 14 Monckton Blvd in Columbia, South Carolina. Its phone number is 803-233-7458. Most of the menu is aesthetic: waxing, facials, microneedling, pigment work on brows, eyeliner and lips, and injectables for tox and fillers. The medical services are a smaller part of the list. They include new and existing patient weight loss visits, a hormone consultation with lab work, and wellness injections, which are named but not described.

The weight loss visits are booked with a Nurse Practitioner, but the clinic does not name that person, and it does not name a medication. New patients can book their first weight loss visit on Saturdays only. The clinic lists no other hours, and it does not say how long it has been open or whether it offers telehealth. Google shows a 4.8 rating from 116 reviews and lists the business under weight loss service.

This listing is for its Columbia office at 612 St Andrews Rd Apt 16.

What does it cost?

A new patient weight loss visit is $100.00 and lasts 30 minutes. An existing patient weight loss visit is also $100.00, lasts 15 minutes, and is for refills only. In its own words: "for refills of current medication only." A change of medication means booking a new patient visit. Either weight loss visit can carry an extra $50 fee for prior authorization, and the clinic notes that prior authorization still does not guarantee coverage. It does not say whether the medication is included in the visit price, and it does not publish a medication cost. Its fine print reads: "It is your responsibility to understand your prescription coverage."

The New Hormone Client Consultation is $100.00 and lasts 30 minutes. Lab work is not priced. Aesthetic services run from $10.00 for an upper lip wax to $375.00 for designer eyeliner. The clinic does not publish whether it accepts insurance, whether it takes HSA or financing, or what its cancellation terms are.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who the Nurse Practitioner is and who signs the prescription, since the clinic does not name either. Ask whether the $100 covers the medication, and if not, what the medication costs. Ask whether the drug is a brand name or compounded, and which medication you would start on. Ask whether the $50 prior authorization fee is charged even if the medication is not covered.

For the hormone consultation, ask what the labs cost and who orders them. Ask whether telehealth is available and how cancellations and refunds work. The online booking form lists 14 Monckton Blvd, but a map listing gives 612 St Andrews Rd, so confirm where the visit takes place before you go.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a weight loss visit with a Nurse Practitioner in Columbia, can attend on a Saturday for a first visit, and are comfortable asking about medication costs and coverage before you pay. It is less of a match if you need a clinic that names its prescriber or publishes its medication pricing up front.
