About Uplevel Medical

What is Uplevel Medical?

Uplevel Medical is a functional medicine practice in Bend, Oregon. It offers three services: Functional Medicine, Medical Weight Loss, and Hormone Balancing. Jess Monahan, FNP-BC, founded the practice and is its prescriber. Weight loss plans can include prescription medication, and in certain cases a compounded version of Ozempic or Zepbound. The clinic also offers LipoStat-Plus lipotropic injections. Hormone Balancing uses bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT). Online consultations serve residents of Oregon and Washington. The Washougal, Washington office is closed, and no street address for Bend is published. It has one Google review, rated five stars.

In its own words: "Each body is different and we believe the decision to replace deficient hormones should be yours, and we're committed to providing information on risks, benefits, and treatment options."

What does it cost?

The clinic puts the average monthly cost of medical weight loss at $350, including medication. It says the individual cost varies with treatment length and medication costs, and the plan is billed monthly. A new patient consultation costs $300 and includes a full medical history, a review of symptoms, and near-term health planning. The clinic is not accepting insurance for these services, so expect to pay cash. For functional medicine visits, it will provide a super bill you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement. It encourages health savings account use where possible. Lab fees go directly to the lab, and prescription medication is paid to the pharmacy. It does not publish hormone therapy prices or commitment and cancellation terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs your prescription, and whether that will be Jess Monahan, FNP-BC. Ask whether the $350 average covers the medication in your case, and whether it is a brand-name drug or a compounded one. The clinic's own safety information says compounded drugs are not FDA-approved and do not undergo safety, effectiveness, or manufacturing review, so get the answer in writing. Ask whether the $300 consultation counts toward the monthly fee, what labs and follow-up visits cost, and how cancellation works. No phone number or office hours are published, so ask for them before booking. Confirm where any in-person visit would happen, since the Washougal office is closed.

Who is it a good fit for?

This fits if you live in Oregon or Washington, can pay cash, and are comfortable with online visits. It also suits someone who wants the prescriber to walk through each medication option, its risks, and the compounded versus brand-name question before committing. If you need insurance to cover the cost, this practice does not bill insurance.
