    Important Information

    The Metabolic Optimization Continuity Program is intended to provide ongoing support and continuity of care. Participation does not guarantee prescriptions, laboratory testing, specific treatments, or particular outcomes. All recommendations are based on clinical judgment, medical appropriateness, and individual patient needs.

    Medication costs, laboratory testing, pharmacy services, and diagnostic testing are not included in the monthly program fee and are billed separately by the respective providers.

  • The Metabolic Optimization Continuty Program is offered on a month-to-month basis and designed to provide ongoing support based on your individual goals and clinical needs.

    To continue participating in your program, the monthly program fee is due prior to the start of the next support month. Once payment is received, eligible follow-up appointments and ongoing program support can be scheduled for that period.

    There is no long-term contract or required commitment. Participation is entirely voluntary, and patients may choose whether to continue from month to month based on their treatment goals, progress, and preferences.

    Medication Refills and Ongoing Monitoring: To ensure safe and appropriate prescribing practices, patients receiving prescription medications through the Metabolic Wellness Continuity Program are generally expected to remain actively engaged in the program, attend recommended follow-up appointments, and complete any requested monitoring (such as laboratory testing, vital sign assessments, or other clinically indicated evaluations).

    Failure to participate in recommended follow-up care or required monitoring may result in delays, modifications, or discontinuation of medication prescribing until appropriate evaluation can occur. Prescription renewals are provided at the discretion of the treating clinician based on clinical appropriateness and safety considerations and are not guaranteed.

  • When clinically appropriate, GLP-1 medications and other evidence-based treatment options may be discussed as part of your individualized treatment plan.

    Not all patients are candidates for medication, and medication recommendations are based on medical history, clinical assessment, and shared decision-making.

  • Program fees cover medical evaluation, follow-up care, education, treatment planning, and ongoing clinical support. The cost of medications, laboratory testing, and pharmacy services is separate and not included in membership fees.
