About Rebel Med NW

What is Rebel Med NW?

Rebel Med NW is an integrative and functional medicine practice at 5401 Leary Ave NW, Suite 202, in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. Its main work is naturopathic primary care and preventive medicine, with acupuncture, physical medicine, mind body medicine and aesthetic treatments alongside it. Weight loss and nutrition is one of those services. In its own words: "Rebel Med NW now offers Prescriptions for GLP-1 Medications." The one person named as a prescriber is Dr. Andrew Simon, ND. Dr. Andrew Simon and Dr. Phonexay Lala Simon founded the practice in 2014.

The office is open Monday and Friday from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Tuesday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It is closed Sunday. The phone number is 206-297-6013. Its Google listing shows a 4.7 rating from 103 reviews. You can start with a free 15-minute phone call or an online telemedicine visit. It does not say which states it serves by telehealth.

What does it cost?

Rebel Med NW publishes one GLP-1 price: starting at $325 a month for commercially available or compounded tirzepatide. It does not say whether that figure covers the medication, the injections, visits or lab work. It does not publish a price for semaglutide, or for brand Ozempic or Mounjaro. The first consult is a free 15-minute call. The practice accepts major insurance carriers, but as it notes, "not all care provided at Rebel Med NW may be covered by your insurance." Membership tiers depend on whether you use insurance or pay directly and on how often you visit, and a membership is not required to be a patient. Sliding scale, low income and senior rates are available on request, and payment plans and financing are listed. A 2016 blog post offers a body composition report for $29.99. No cancellation or commitment terms are published for the GLP-1 program.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription, and whether anyone other than Dr. Andrew Simon, ND prescribes GLP-1 medication. Ask whether the $325 a month includes the medication, the injections, the visits and the lab work, and if it does not, what each one costs. Ask whether you would receive brand Mounjaro or the compounded version, and what semaglutide or brand Ozempic would cost, since no price is listed for either. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost and how often they are needed. Ask whether there is a minimum commitment and how cancellation works, and get those terms in writing before you pay. If you are considering a membership, ask how it would change the monthly total.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a naturopathic physician as your prescriber, want weight loss care inside a wider preventive plan, and are willing to get the medication and follow-up costs in writing before you commit. It is a weaker match if you need a full published price for the medication before you call, since the only figure given is a starting price of $325 a month.
