What stands out

  • Answers the coverage question with a flat no rather than implying coverage might be possible — more honest than most.
  • Raising FSA as an alternative is genuinely useful and rarely mentioned.
  • No pricing published on the page we captured.

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.

  • Establish the programme cost before starting.
  • Confirm with your FSA administrator that the programme fee qualifies — many do not accept membership fees.
  • Ask whether the medication is FDA-approved or compounded.

Limitations

  • No pricing published.
  • No insurance accepted.
