The Weight Loss Program entails an initial health and medication
consultation fee of $99. Following this, only the medication is charged monthly. The
membership
starts upon the prescription being issued by our healthcare providers. It's
important to note
that the initial consultation is a one-time fee cost of $99, and follow-up
consultations (if
necessary) are $40.
To determine insurance coverage for weight loss medication (Ozempic,
Mounjaro®, etc.), you will need to contact your insurance provider
directly. Most insurances in Canada do not cover Ozempic or Mounjaro®
for weight loss as this is off-label use. The cost of all GLP-1
medications on Rocky is separate from the initial consultation cost of
$100. We can provide you with a detailed invoice upon request, which you
can submit to your insurance for reimbursement purposes.
If your insurance does not cover the medication, you have the option to
pay for it out of pocket, typically ranging from $200 to $400 per month,
depending on the specific medication. For your convenience, you can
cancel your subscription at any time with no penalty.
Upon completing the initial online consultation, a Rocky healthcare
provider will assess your information and contact you to determine if
treatment is suitable. If appropriate, a metabolic test is requested to
understand your current metabolic status, and the results are considered
prior to initiating your personalized treatment plan.
The metabolic lab test is crucial for understanding your body's biology,
especially concerning weight loss. It examines hormones and metabolism
to determine the suitability of GLP-1 medication.
GLP-1 medications may cause common side effects such as nausea,
vomiting, and stomach discomfort. More severe side effects are rare but
can include thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, low blood
sugar, kidney disease, severe allergies, vision problems, rapid
heartbeat, and suicidal thoughts. Detailed safety information is
available in the Patient Information Leaflet for specific medications.
After the initial consultation, you will be able to schedule a call with
a licensed Canadian prescriber. To schedule a follow-up call with your
Rocky healthcare provider, simply send a message to your prescriber via
our messaging portal. We will then send you a link to schedule a visit
at your convenience.
Subscription cancellations are accepted at any time to avoid future
charges. However, previously incurred monthly fees are nonrefundable.
Weight loss injections available through Rocky belong to the GLP-1 class
of medications, mimicking the natural hormone GLP-1. They regulate blood
sugar, appetite, and promote a feeling of fullness, leading to reduced
food intake and weight loss.
After a health consult and metabolic lab test, Rocky healthcare
providers can prescribe weight loss medications such as Ozempic,
Mounjaro®, compounded Semaglutide, etc. The prescription process
includes 1-year’s worth of repeats and close follow-up for dosage
adjustment if needed.
Rocky provides prescriptions for several GLP-1 medications, including
Ozempic and Mounjaro®, specifically approved for weight loss. Ozempic,
approved for type 2 diabetes, may be prescribed off-label for weight
loss. The prescription choice is based on the healthcare provider’s
discretion and patient suitability.
