Program fees: 
Initial consultation: $125- One time. 40 minutes intake visit with nurse practitioner Fawn Workman, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC- see below for more information.

Basic Membership $250- includes visits and support from NP for weight management suppport, messaging, support tools, guidance, and if appropriate, prescription(s) sent to your pharmacy. The cost of the meds from your pharmacy are not included. This is ideal if you would like to have expert treatment and support that is personalized for you, with or without taking a medication for weight management. If you do pursue a medication option approved by the NP, you may use your insurance if it covers that particular anti-obesity medication, or you may pay cash for it (such as phentermine, QSymia, Contrave, metformin, Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound).  Certain compounded medications may also be prescribed, which you would pay the pharmacy directly for (for instance, this is the case for sublingual semaglutide). You can meet weekly, or if busy and doing fine, monthly (or even check in by email or text some months). Don't forget we have free support groups, and offer convenient early evening hours and telehealth, too. 

Semaglutide Monthly Membership: $375- That's it! All doses. Includes all the visits/ support/ and benefits of the basic membership, but also includes compounded semagltuide/ B-12 medication delivered directly to your home for self-administration (with the guidance of our staff, of course- we'll walk you through it!) We're here for you every step of the way. This is a savings of hundreds of dollars over the cost of name brand medications, and it includes so much much! 

Tirzepatide Monthly Membership: Starts at $425 per month for 2.5 mg or 5 mg (price goes up from there). Includes all the visits/ support/ and benefits of the basic membership, but also includes compounded tirzepatide delivered directly to your home for self-administration (with the guidance of our staff, of course- we'll walk you through it!) We're here for you every step of the way. This is a savings of hundreds of dollars over the cost of name brand medications, and it includes so much much! Dose up to 10 mg: $575 monthly

(For compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide, there are often more than 4 weeks supply in each vial sent; you may not receive a vial every 4 weeks, depending on your med, dose, and strength of vial contents. Refills should be requested 1 week before needed. Membership fee is monthly regardless of dose.)

New Clients coming for an Initial Consultation: 

• Congratulations on taking a step towards better health!
• Search for an appointment below and pay the initial consutlation fee.
• Next, you will receive an email from [email protected] containing a link to the Optimantra patient portal to complete pre-appointment consents and forms. Check your email!! for [email protected] (our sister company). This is required to be done before your appointment is confirmed. If you haven't completed it 48 hours ahead of your appointment, you will be rescheduled. Or, complete it here: Link to Optimantra Patient portal: https://www.optimantra.com/optimus/om/patient/login
• In an initial visit, a provider will review your intake paperwork, review or order labs (if needed), and help you with an initial personalized and flexible plan for a healthier body/ weight management.
• Please email a copy of all recent labwork (in last 6-12 months) to [email protected] prior to the appointment.
• If you haven't had recent labwork, we may order it for you if you'd like to use your insurance.  We can order a basic screening panel ahead of time when requested, to save time waiting for results.
• It might be easier and less expensive to get your labs done at a walk in, stand alone lab that does direct client ordering. For instance, in Lynchburg, ARCpoint Labs  on Timberlake Road has an "Annual CheckUp Panel for under $89" that has the basics, and no order or appointment is required (we encourage you to fast and drink 2 glasses of water before hand, and a urinalysis is also included). There are several Arcpoint or similar lab companies across Virginia. We may still recommend additional labs for some individuals at the appointment, however. Tell them you want the lab results sent to [email protected] or faxed to 434-302-9638
• We recommend getting a baseline body composition analysis, such as an InBody scan, at baseline and every few months during your weight loss journey. In the Lynchburg or Roanoke areas, these can be found at Complete Health nutrition stores, and the Jamerson YMCA also has one. They range $10-$20 per visit/ scan. We are not affiliated with these organizations. 
• We may make nutritional supplement recommendations to support your weight management, so make sure to share if you are taking any medications or supplements. 
• Payment in full is required for initial consultations (can be refunded or applied to a rescheduled appointment if the appointment is cancelled at least 48 hours ahead of time. No refunds for late cancellations or no shows for consultations)
• There is no obligation to continue with a membership program. However, medication will only be prescribed with a commitment to follow up with Hello Hope. This is accomplished in the membership program. Payment for the first month of the membership is required prior to medication being prescribed.
