Medications

Transparent medication pricing.

Medication is one tool in your care, not the business model. When medications are part of your plan, we offer near-cost pricing through Bloom or coordinate with your insurance, plus prior authorization support to help you access coverage.

Near-Cost Pricing Insurance Coordination Prior Authorization Support

Our Approach

"Medication is just one tool — not the focus of care."

Transparent pricing

You see the cost, the source, and the why. No hidden markups, no surprise bills.

Individualized

Medications are not required. Plans are built around your biology, your history, and your goals.

Evidence-based

Treatment decisions follow the data, not the marketing or the margins.

Weight Management Medications

For the Bloom Metabolic Program.

Treatment plans are individualized. Some patients do well with lifestyle-focused care alone; others benefit from medication support. When medications are part of your plan, here are the options and what they cost.

Evidence-based options

  • GLP-1 medications

    Both injectable and oral formulations

  • Oral weight management medications

    Such as Contrave, phentermine-based options, and others

  • Combination and individualized approaches

    Tailored to your response, side effects, and goals

How medications are obtained

  • Through your insurance pharmacy

    Sent to your preferred pharmacy and processed through insurance when covered

  • Directly through Bloom

    When appropriate, offered at reduced, near-cost pricing

Some patients gradually increase dose over time. We review expected costs with you before making any changes.

By comparison: other programs

Most weight loss programs are medication businesses.

Compounded GLP-1 typical range $200–$700/mo
Branded GLP-1 markup vs. wholesale 2–4× cost

Most programs generate revenue primarily through medication markups. At Bloom, near-cost pricing is a patient benefit, not a revenue strategy.

Stocked In-Clinic

DPC Generic Medications

Transparent pricing for your primary care medications.

We stock many commonly prescribed medications in our clinic and dispense them same-day at transparent, near-cost pricing. Prefer your own pharmacy? We're happy to send prescriptions there and assist with insurance prior authorizations when needed.

Common generics

Everyday prescriptions for blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid, and more.

Near-cost pricing

Pricing reflects what the medication actually costs, with no hidden markups.

Same-day dispensing

Pick up many common prescriptions right at your visit, or have them sent to your preferred pharmacy.

In the meantime, current and prospective DPC members can ask Dr. Katya directly about any specific medication you take or are prescribed.

Insurance Support

If your insurance covers it, we help you get it.

Bloom doesn't accept insurance for the care itself. But if your insurance covers your medication, we handle the work to help you access that coverage, including prior authorization paperwork and appeals.

For patients without insurance coverage, Bloom's near-cost direct pricing is often comparable to or better than typical cash prices through retail pharmacies.

Prior authorization paperwork

We complete and submit the clinical documentation insurers require.

Appeals when needed

If a request is denied, we work with you on the appeal.

Direct or insurance, whichever costs less

We help you compare and choose the most affordable path for your situation.
