Once treatment plan has been discussed you can decide if you would like to proceed and which plan fits you best. 

I will provide a breakdown of payment for each plan. The consult fee is due at day of consult, and treatment plans are due on a monthly scheduled plan. 

Visits:

Visits will be on a monthly basis to evaluate how the plan is going, if changes need to be made and medication management. Medications will be ordered at this time for the month if needed. The initial visit is $150 which includes the plan established. Follow up visits are included in monthly membership and can be done in person or virtually with video and audio capability for the visit.

There are two options for labs. The first option is an order sent with patient to take to lab of their choice to use commercial insurance for the labs. Any cost not covered by insurance will be the responsibility of the patient when billed from the lab. 

The second option is to have the labs drawn at the office. The cost of the labs will be discussed at initial visit.  Labs will be required throughout program for follow up.

Medication:

The medication we use most frequently is a once weekly injectable glucagon-like peptide receptor agonist from the compounding pharmacy. We will go into detail on this during your appointment. 

The cost of the initial consult is non refundable once the visit is completed. If you choose not to continue with choosing a treatment plan, a refund will not be issued. If the appointment needs to be rescheduled it must be done more than 24 hours before the appointment time. If an account is past due, the medication will not be ordered or refilled until the account is paid up to date. Memberships can be cancelled up until 2 days prior to monthly billing on the first of the month.
