We do not offer any “All Inclusive” programs.  When discussing any aspect of hormone and cellular optimization, there is no one-size-fits-all approach so there is no-one-size-fits-all price.

As an example, the most popular medications in our weight loss programs are semaglutide and tirzepatide.  However, depending on the dose and the medication that works best for you, there are significant differences in the cost per injection.  The lowest dose of semaglutide only costs $4/shot, but the highest dose is $34/shot.  Since the shots are typically done once per week, the monthly cost of the medication ranges from $16 to $136!

When you sign up for an “All Inclusive” package, the package must account for the highest price of the medication “included” otherwise the business will lose money and not be able to stay open.  But what if you find that a lower dose of semaglutide works well for you, say $7/dose or only $28/month?  In that case, you still pay the FULL price of your “All Inclusive” package so the business makes additional profit since you are well below the $136/mo they have built into their fees!

Another common example is the “All Inclusive” TRT program.  In this case, you still have the same issue of paying an “All Inclusive” price that is higher than necessary if your individual dose of testosterone is lower then the maximum they have calculated in their pricing model.  However, what if you require a higher dose than they have planned for?  We have had many patients transfer into our practice because their medication doses were “capped” rather than appropriately titrated to effect.

“All Inclusive” packages sound good, but they create an inappropriate financial incentive when it comes to patient care.  At Asymmetric Health, we believe your long-term health and medically appropriate patient care come FIRST, without exception.  Our membership tier system is specficially designed to align practice fees to the intensity of a member’s care needs, not the specifics of their programming (labs, medications, imaging, etc.).  This structure prevents inappropriate financial incentive and allows our providers to make whatever appropriate medical recommendations are necessary for your individual needs.

insurance-based practices don’t focus on negotiating rates and working with pharmacies and suppliers that adjust prices for cash pay patients, so the cost of therapy ends up being more expensive as well.

In addition, there is significant waste and inefficiency when dealing with insurance companies.  Coding, billing, and rebilling insurance companies takes extraordinary effort.  There are entire areas of specialization for medical coding alone.  There are third party business entities that exist to deal with billing and rebilling.   On top of that, there are the prior authorization requests, insurance rejections, and appeals that make up the typical daily practice of medicine now days.  Each of these unnecessary layers adds costs.  These costs get transferred to the patients through increased co-pays, medical office fees, and rising insurance premiums not to mention less and less time with your doctor if you can actually get in to see them.

Finally, in insurance-based practices the patient must typically have contact with their provider to generate a charge.  Have you ever wondered why you are required to make an appointment for a simple medication refill?  Why you must be seen to get some paperwork for your job filled out?  What about why you can’t just call or email your doctor a quick question and expect a timely and useful response.  Each of these things take time from the provider that doesn’t get reimbursed by the insurance company, but having you come into the office does.  No one wants to work for free and in an insurance-based practice that usually means less access and more hassle for patients.

At Asymmetric Health, we recognize that the current system is broken and doesn’t meet the needs of our patients.  Free from the cost constraints mandated by third party interference we can deliver high quality care at an affordable price that focuses exclusively on the best interests of our patients.
