About Functional Method MKE

What is Functional Method MKE?

Functional Method MKE is a cash-pay clinic at 790 N. Milwaukee Street, Suite 302, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It describes itself as fully virtual, with visits held by telemedicine for patients across Wisconsin. Its main focus is hormone care for women in perimenopause and menopause, and medical weight loss is one of its services.

Amanda Grimshaw, FNP-BC, MSN founded the practice and is the only prescriber named. Other services include functional medicine, NAD+ and CoreCharge+ at-home injections, and a supplement store. The weight loss program names semaglutide and tirzepatide, both GLP-1 receptor agonists. The hormone program describes FDA-approved options, including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, and says the clinic does not offer pellet therapy. Google lists it as a medical clinic with a rating of 5 from 9 reviews.

What does it cost?

Weight loss starts with a one-hour virtual consultation for $150, and that fee is waived if treatment starts during the visit. Ongoing monitoring and adjustments run $125 to $500 a month. That fee includes medication and varies with the plan.

Hormone care starts with a 30-minute phone consultation for $75, which is deducted from the $300 one-hour virtual consultation, or $225 after the phone call. Ongoing monitoring is $125 a month. Follow-up visits every three months cost $150 each once the regimen is stable. The cost of hormone medication is not stated, and it does not say whether the hormone price includes medication.

Lab fees are not published, and the clinic cannot guarantee insurance coverage for labs. In its own words: "While we don’t accept insurance, we do accept HSA/FSA cards, and you’ll always know the cost upfront." Cancellation terms and minimum commitments are not published, and neither are the prices for the injections.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and manages your prescription, and whether Amanda Grimshaw sees you at every visit or whether another clinician takes over follow-up. For weight loss, ask whether the monthly fee covers medication every month, and whether semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. For hormone care, ask what the medication costs and whether the $125 monthly fee includes it.

Ask what the required labs cost. Ask which hormone options insurance would cover, since many of the options described are FDA-approved, even though the clinic does not accept insurance. Ask how you cancel the monthly membership and whether there is a minimum term. Ask whether any visits happen at the Milwaukee office, given that the clinic describes itself as fully virtual and lists appointment-only hours. Ask what the NAD+ and CoreCharge+ injections cost and who orders them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are a woman in Wisconsin who wants hormone care or medical weight loss by video, and you are ready to pay cash for visits and monthly follow-up. It is also worth a call if you want GLP-1 medication managed by a nurse practitioner and can get clear answers on the drug source and monthly cost before you book. If you need insurance billing or in-person visits, this clinic is probably not the match.
