How much will I pay for this program and my appointments?
After your first 8 weeks, you'll transition to a flexible, pay-per-refill model, so you only order medication when you need it, with no subscriptions or recurring fees. Pricing for medication is billed through insurance, and will depend on the vial size you and your provider choose together.
Virtual appointments with your Ascend primary care provider are billed through insurance, and you'll just pay your standard co-pay (typically found on the back of your insurance card). We're in-network with most major plans, and many patients pay $0 for annual check-ups.
Health coaching is included in all starting packages to support your progress, and you'll also have access to optional virtual therapy or counseling if needed.
