Two ways to pay: 99 dollars once, as you go, or 75 dollars per month for a membership carrying prescription access. Either way the drug is billed on its own, at a cost stated upfront. No compounded GLP-1 is sold. What gets written is branded and FDA-approved, made by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk: Zepbound (tirzepatide), Wegovy (semaglutide). HSA/FSA funds are taken and the clinic will help with prior authorization. Sandra Jordan, MSN, APRN, FNP-C founded and runs it, booking most patients inside 24 hours, with medication sent home.
