The short version
- The checklist asks providers about their experience with GLP-1 medications and whether they offer both brand-name and compounded options.
- Patients are told to ask what the total monthly cost includes, covering medication, visits, and labs rather than drug price alone.
- Visit frequency and whether care happens in person or virtually are on the list, along with required lab work and whether insurance covers it.
- The questions cover the side-effect protocol, the approach to maintenance after reaching goal weight, and whether nutritional counseling and lifestyle support are offered.
- The final items address the cancellation and refund policy and whether the provider can supply patient references or testimonials.
