How GLP -1 Weightloss Keeps its Treatment Cost So Low …

​

In case you haven’t noticed, you have a lot of options with weight loss programs; commercial diet plans, over the counter supplements, fat freezing, nutritionists, personal trainers, even surgeries. I am sure you have tried (or at least heard of) many of them at this point. The cost for these can be quite high, even higher when they don’t work for you and you end up right back where you started, or worse, even heavier.

​

 A study conducted by the Global Health Institute at Duke University found that the average cost per pound on popular weight loss programs was roughly $123 per pound!  Why are these so high? Many times these programs use expensive brand name medications, high priced laboratory development or celebrity endorsements that drive the price sky high. 

​

GLP-1 is an FDA approved,  naturally occurring chemical that can be safely  created in a LICENSED laboratory. It doesn’t need a fancy label, and has been getting enough good press on television and social media that it doesn't need any new celebrity endorsements (it already has quite a few). In fact, this medicine works BETTER when it is custom blended in a LICENSED laboratory, to give you individual results at the lowest price possible. That is exactly what we do here. 

​

Here are GLP-1 we want to keep weight loss as affordable as possible. We don’t appreciate bait and switch sales tactics that bring you in on “one low price” just to find out later that there are several hidden costs. Coupons to cover the first few months of the medication (when you will probably need it longer) don’t help either. We feel our prices are so low (compared to the other options) that we don’t have anything to hide. 

So we post our prices right on the website! Here is how it works…..

​

• Your 1st appointment…  you will meet with our Medical Assistant for some initial screening then with one of our Licensed Doctors. The Doc will  assess your situation to make sure you are a good fit and if so, write you a prescription that will be able to be filled in house or mailed to your home. The introductory cost for the first visit is $239, and that includes your time with the doctor and the first months medication.

​

• Continued Appointments will depend on how fast you choose to increase the medication. Some folks never go above the 1 mg dose, others need a little more so we customize the pricing so you only pay for what you need. 

•             .25mg (starter dose for everyone)  $239/mo

•             .50mg (first increase dose)             $259/mo

•              1mg  (second increase dose)        $289/mo

•              1.75mg (third increase dose)         $349/mo

•              2.4mg  (our highest dose)              $399/mo

​

• I am going to “un-hide” the only possible hidden cost. In some rare cases, (usually when you are not sure about some important part of your medical history) the Doctor may need to order some lab work before they can start you on the medication. If this is necessary, you will need to go to a lab (not in house) and get the work done. This can range anywhere from $75- $250.  Most of the time, this lab work can be covered by insurance.
