Question 1

What's included in the monthly GLP-1 price?

Accepted Answer

Your monthly fee covers your physician consultation with Dr. Roges, your personalized dosing protocol, the compounded medication itself (semaglutide or tirzepatide), discreet shipping to your door, and ongoing secure messaging for dose adjustments and questions. There are no pharmacy markups or hidden fees on top.

Question 2

How does the initiation fee work?

Accepted Answer

A one-time $99 initiation fee covers your comprehensive intake review, baseline lab order interpretation, and your first 60-minute telehealth visit with Dr. Roges. It is billed once when you start the program and never recurs — even if you pause and return later. The branded-medication track has no separate initiation fee since pharmacy billing is handled separately.

Question 3

Are there any hidden fees?

Accepted Answer

No. The price you see is the price you pay each month. Standard labs (if recommended) are billed at cost through our partner lab — typically $99–$199 quarterly — and we always show pricing before ordering. Branded medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Zepbound are billed by the pharmacy directly and may or may not be covered by insurance.

Question 4

Can I use HSA or FSA funds?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The program fee, initiation fee, and labs are all HSA/FSA eligible. We provide itemized receipts and superbills you can submit for reimbursement.

Question 5

Do I need insurance to get started?

Accepted Answer

No. All GLP-1 programs at Roges Wellness are direct-pay. You pay a straightforward program fee — no insurance claims, no surprise billing.

Question 6

Will I always work with Dr. Roges, or rotating providers?

Accepted Answer

You will always work directly with Dr. Octaviano Roges. This is a concierge practice — continuity with the same physician is the entire point of the model.

Question 7

How is this different from other GLP-1 platforms?

Accepted Answer

Most platforms prescribe medication and leave you on your own. Dr. Roges evaluates your hormones, metabolism, and overall health picture and builds a plan that works with your biology — not a one-size-fits-all dosing schedule.

Question 8

How long until I see results?

Accepted Answer

Most patients notice appetite changes in the first 2–4 weeks. Measurable weight loss typically builds over 4–12 weeks with consistent use. Dr. Roges adjusts your dosing based on your individual response.

Question 9

Do you offer branded medications like Ozempic or Wegovy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Roges can prescribe both compounded and branded medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound). He will recommend the right option for your clinical situation.

Question 10

Can I cancel or pause the program?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel or pause anytime with no penalty — no long-term contract. Dr. Roges recommends discussing changes with him first; stopping GLP-1 therapy abruptly without a tapering plan can lead to appetite rebound.
