FAQs

Do you take insurance?

No, we do not take insurance. Insurance limits who can be seen by BMI requirements and coverage as well as how often you can be seen. As a concierge weight loss clinic, we’re able to take fewer patients which means we have more time and flexibility dedicated specifically to you to make sure you get results.

Do you take HSA/FSA?

You bet! Many of our clients use their FSA or HSA for our services.

How much will my membership cost?

Your membership fee is $199 and is billed monthly. There are no contracts or cancellation fees.

There is a one-time $50 enrollment fee for all clients.

I’m uncertain if I want to commit to the monthly membership fee, do you offer free consults?

Why do I have to pay for a membership? Can’t I just get the medication?

We totally get the question — but here’s the truth: weight loss isn’t just about a prescription.

At Merit, we’ve spent over 16 combined years helping clients succeed, and we’ve learned that long-term results require more than just a scale and a script. That’s why our membership includes ongoing support from medical providers, nutrition specialists, and a full toolkit built for real life — from meal plans to expert coaching to progress tracking.

Could you get meds somewhere else? Sure.
But without guidance, it’s easy to get stuck, frustrated, or worse — feel like it’s your fault if it doesn’t work. We don’t do that here.

Your membership gives you a team, a plan, and real support — so you can feel your best and actually stay there.

How long will I be in the program?

This program is personalized and tailored to you! You will remain a Merit client for as long as you need. No pressure, you make the decision. Our average client stays with us for around 6-12 months. Merit has no cancelation fees.

How frequently will I be seen?

We recommend weekly weight-checks for accountability and one visit per month with one of our providers. Our weight checks are flexible and no appointment is needed. Your once monthly visit with a medical provider is a scheduled 30 minute appointment.

What extra costs or fees can I expect?

We keep things simple. There are no cancelation or hidden fees. At Merit, there are no required supplements, vitamins, or foods to be purchased. However, if you are interested in medications, hormone optimization, blood work, supplements, or vitamin injections these are at an extra cost and these costs will be reviewed with you at your appointment. At Merit, we always keep cost in consideration and review all of your options with you at your consultation.

What are the requirements to be a client?

There are no requirements. If you need support, we are here to help!

Do you offer hormone replacement therapy?
