Read articleThe questions a careful person asks first
- $299 a month, month to month. $598 is charged at sign-up and covers the first two months. Medication is billed separately by the pharmacy you choose, at that pharmacy's own price; GoodLife Health sets nothing, sees nothing and takes nothing on it.
- Clinicians licensed in all fifty states, four cardiometabolic lab panels a year, every result in your own hands, asynchronous messaging with your care team, and video visits. The fee is the same whatever medication is indicated and whatever the dose.
- If the clinician cannot accept you into care, the $598 is refunded in full. Once you are accepted, the first two months are non-refundable. Medication billed by a pharmacy follows that pharmacy's own return and refund policy.
- No. Only branded, FDA-approved medication is prescribed, when clinically indicated, to the pharmacy you choose. No compounded GLP-1 and no research peptides, ever.
- A healthy adult on no medication who sees a doctor twice a year. Anyone who wants the cheapest prescription rather than a clinician managing their labs and their plan. Anyone expecting the membership to replace health insurance: it pairs with insurance for catastrophic coverage and replaces the primary-care relationship.
- The membership fee is generally eligible for HSA or FSA pre-tax dollars. Whether a plan covers a medication is between you, your plan and the pharmacy, and prior authorization is the pharmacy's process; neither is promised.
