How We Verify Your Benefits

Verification is the step between submitting your intake and being seen. It exists so you know your cost before you commit.

What we check

Active coverage and effective dates, in-network status, visit copay or coinsurance, deductible status, whether weight-management care is a covered benefit, and pharmacy-benefit details for the medication under consideration.

What we need from you

Your legal name, date of birth, carrier, and member ID. That information is used only to schedule and verify coverage, is stored securely, and is never displayed back to you on screen.

How FRDC handles this

Choose Insurance on the new patient intake and enter your carrier. Our team verifies your benefits before your first visit and tells you what you will owe. If your plan is one we are not contracted with, the intake form tells you immediately and shows you the self-pay path instead of letting you find out later.

Self-pay pricing is published: $150/month clinic fee (once every 90 days at maximum Mounjaro dose), Phentermine + B12 $84/month, Mounjaro or Zepbound $399–499/month, Ozempic or Wegovy $199–399/month, B12 injections $15 each. Your information is used only to schedule and verify coverage.

Results framing

Your clinician sets your goals — many plans target 10–16 lbs/month with strict protein protocols; individual results vary.

Medication and dosing are always determined by your clinician after evaluation.

Frequently asked questions
