What stands out

• Publishing hospital charge data is a legal requirement for hospitals, but it means actual price information is available — more than most direct-to-consumer providers offer.
• Academic centre with both medical and surgical weight management, so the full range of options is genuinely available.
• Harvard-affiliated teaching hospital governance is a different category from telehealth.

Questions to ask before you pay

These are things we could not settle from published pages, or that we think are easy to misread. Get answers in writing.

• Charge data is not the same as what you will pay — your insurance determines that.
• Expect a referral pathway and a longer wait than telehealth.
• Boston area.
