What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. The practice works on a flat monthly membership, but the fee is not listed, and no consultation fee is given either. It does not bill insurance, so you pay the membership yourself. The membership description mentions wholesale labs and medications, but it does not say whether medication is included in the monthly fee. It also does not say whether weight loss or hormone visits are covered by the membership. Ask for both answers, and for the amount, before you book.

What should you ask before you book?

Who writes the prescription for weight loss or hormone treatment? Thomas Kay, MD, is the only prescriber named, so ask whether he writes every one. Is the monthly fee all-in, or do weight loss and hormone visits cost extra? Which medications are used, and are they brand-name or compounded? None are named, so get the names in writing. What do follow-up visits and lab work cost on top of the membership? How do you cancel, and is there a notice period? Telehealth is not described either, so ask whether follow-ups can be done remotely.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a family doctor for everyday care under one monthly membership, you are ready to pay cash, and you want weight loss or hormone care from the same doctor. If you need a published price or a named medication before you commit, call (830) 368-0135 and ask those questions first.
