Insurance answers
Plans We Are Not Contracted With
We are not contracted with Medstar Family Choice, WellPoint, Tricare, Jai Medical Systems, Johns Hopkins EHP, or Kaiser Permanente. We say so up front so nobody books, prepares, and then hits a wall.
What this means for you
If you carry one of these plans, it will not cover care at FRDC. You are still welcome as a self-pay patient at published prices, with the same clinicians and the same weekend telehealth access.
The intake form flags this the moment you select your carrier and shows you the self-pay numbers immediately.
The self-pay path
Clinic fee $150/month, switching to once every 90 days at maximum Mounjaro dose. Medication pricing is published so you can compare before deciding.
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.
