Frequently Asked Questions
Are your weight loss and peptide products FDA-approved?
Some products we offer are FDA-approved branded medications; others are compounded by licensed U.S. pharmacies for individual patients under a valid prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA-approved as finished drug products. Your provider will tell you which applies to your specific prescription.
Who prescribes and oversees my treatment?
All prescribing is done by licensed providers under MTEP Medical PC, following an individual medical review.
Do you guarantee specific results?
No. Results vary by individual based on dosage, adherence, health history, and other factors. We do not guarantee specific outcomes.
How much does the program cost?
Cost varies by the specific therapy and whether branded or compounded medication is prescribed. Your consultation fee covers the provider visit; medication cost is separate and depends on the compound, dose, and supply period. We do not accept insurance for consultations, but HSA and FSA cards are accepted. Your provider will give you a clear breakdown before any prescription is issued.
What if my insurance does not cover the medication?
Compounded GLP-1 medications are generally not covered by insurance. Branded medications such as Wegovy or Ozempic may be covered depending on your plan and diagnosis — coverage varies significantly. Most patients pay out of pocket; HSA and FSA accounts can typically be applied to prescription costs. Self-pay options are available and your provider can discuss these during the consultation.
What can I expect in the first few weeks?
Most programs begin at a low starting dose that is gradually increased over several weeks — a process called titration — to reduce the likelihood of nausea or other side effects. Many patients notice a reduction in appetite within the first one to two weeks. Your provider will follow up during this period and adjust the plan if anything needs to change.
