FAQ
Do I need to pay the $60 at the visit?
| Payment Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| $60 Payment | Yes, it is required at the time of your visit. |
| Insurance Billing | We do not bill insurance for visits to streamline your care. |
| Payment Transfer | If medication coverage is denied, the $60 can be applied to compounded medication costs. |
Why Do We Charge $60 Instead of Billing Insurance?
Yes, the $60 payment is required at the time of your visit. This fee ensures that we can provide you with prompt and efficient care without the delays and complications often associated with insurance billing.
By charging a flat fee of $60 instead of billing insurance, we simplify the process for you. This approach eliminates the need for dealing with copays, deductibles, and insurance claims, making your visit straightforward and stress-free.
Additionally, if we are unable to get your medication covered by insurance, the $60 payment can be applied toward the cost of compounded medication. This flexibility ensures that your investment in your health is maximized, no matter the outcome of the insurance process.
Our goal is to provide you with the best care possible while minimizing the hassle and complexity often associated with insurance. The $60 flat fee allows us to do just that.
Do you send people to collections?
| Payment Policy | Details |
|---|---|
| Collections | No, we do not send people to collections. |
| Payment Due | All costs of services are due at the time of service. |
| Payment Methods | We accept credit/debit cards, FSA/HSA, and more. |
Understanding Our Payment Policy:
No, we do not send people to collections. We believe in clear and upfront communication about the cost of our services. To keep the process simple and stress-free, all costs of services are due at the time of service.
By requiring payment at the time of service, we eliminate the need for collections, ensuring that you have a hassle-free experience from start to finish.
We accept a variety of payment methods, including credit/debit cards, FSA/HSA cards, and more, to make payment as convenient as possible for you.
Do you accept FSA/HSA cards?
| Payment Method | Details |
|---|---|
| FSA (Flexible Spending Account) | Accepted for eligible medical expenses. |
| HSA (Health Savings Account) | Accepted for eligible medical expenses. |
| Other Payment Methods | Credit/debit cards, insurance, and more. |
Understanding FSA and HSA:
Yes, we accept both FSA (Flexible Spending Account) and HSA (Health Savings Account) cards for payment. These accounts are special types of savings plans that allow you to set aside pre-tax dollars to pay for eligible medical expenses, including our services.
- FSA (Flexible Spending Account): An FSA is offered by some employers and allows you to contribute a portion of your earnings to pay for out-of-pocket medical expenses. Funds must generally be used within the plan year.
- HSA (Health Savings Account): An HSA is available to individuals with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP). Unlike an FSA, the funds in an HSA can roll over year to year, and they can be used to pay for qualified medical expenses at any time.
Using your FSA or HSA card is easy and convenient. Just present your card at the time of payment, and we’ll handle the rest!
What happens if my insurance doesn’t cover the medication?
| Scenario | Options & Next Steps |
|---|---|
| Insurance Denial | We can assist with a prior authorization (PA) request to seek approval. |
| Prior Authorization Required | We will work with your insurance to provide the necessary documentation. |
| Out-of-Pocket Costs | We can explore alternative medications or payment options. |
| Assistance Programs | Eligibility for manufacturer or pharmacy discount programs may be available. |
Understanding Insurance Denials and Prior Authorization:
If your insurance doesn’t initially cover the medication, there are several pathways we can explore:
- Insurance Denial: If your insurance denies coverage, we can assist by submitting a prior authorization (PA) request. A PA is a process where we provide additional information to your insurance company to justify the need for the prescribed medication.
- Prior Authorization Required: Sometimes, your insurance may require a PA before covering the medication. We will work directly with your insurance provider to handle this process and provide the necessary documentation.
- Out-of-Pocket Costs: If the medication is not covered, we can discuss alternative medications or explore payment options to minimize your out-of-pocket expenses.
- Assistance Programs: Depending on your situation, you may qualify for manufacturer or pharmacy discount programs, which can help reduce the cost of your medication.
If you encounter any issues with insurance coverage, please contact our team. We are here to help you navigate the process and find the best solution for your needs.
What is the cost of Wegovy® or Ozempic® with insurance?
| Insurance Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Commercial Insurance | Depends on your plan; often includes a copay or coinsurance. |
| Medicare | Typically not covered; out-of-pocket costs may apply. |
| Medicaid | Coverage varies by state; check with your provider for details. |
| Without Insurance | Average retail price can be up to $1,000 per month. |
Understanding Your Costs:
The cost of Wegovy® or Ozempic® with insurance can vary widely depending on your specific insurance plan. Commercial insurance often covers a portion of the cost, leaving you with a copay or coinsurance. However, Medicare typically does not cover these medications, leading to higher out-of-pocket expenses. Medicaid coverage can vary, so it’s important to verify with your provider.
If you are without insurance, the average retail price for these medications can be substantial, reaching up to $1,000 per month.
For the most accurate estimate, it’s best to contact your insurance provider directly or speak with our team for assistance in understanding your options.
Do I need a referral?
| Referral Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Referral Needed | No, a referral is not required for your visit. |
| Insurance Billing | We don’t bill insurance, so referrals are unnecessary. |
| Supporting Documentation | You can have your provider fax us relevant visit notes or records. |
Why Don’t We Require Referrals?
No, you don’t need a referral to visit us. Since we don’t bill insurance for your visit, there’s no need for a referral, allowing us to bypass this common hurdle often associated with healthcare visits.
This approach simplifies your experience, eliminating the need to coordinate with your primary care provider for a referral, and ensuring you can access care quickly and easily.
However, if you would like to provide us with additional information, you can have your primary care doctor, family doctor, or other provider fax us any relevant visit notes or records. This can help support any potential prior authorizations that may be needed.
Our fax number is 734-418-9068. We’re here to make your experience as smooth and efficient as possible.
