Below are answers to common questions about our care model, membership structure, and clinical approach.
Do you treat obesity in adolescents? Yes. We offer obesity treatment for patients ages 12 and up.
What’s included in membership? Video visits, secure messaging, discounted labs, discounted medications, and discounted body composition scans
How does pricing work? We a month to month membership that can be cancelled at anytime.
Are labs covered by insurance? They can be billed to insurance. If interested, we offer deeply discounted labs for those who prefer cash pay which is often cheaper than going through insurance. You pay the clinic directly, and we handle payment to the lab—streamlining access and reducing cost.
Do you use compounded medications? Only when medically necessary. Compounded medications are not FDA approved. All compounds are sourced from accredited pharmacies and vetted for safety, stability, and penetration.
Are hormones part of every plan? No. We can discuss alternatives during your consultation and tailor your plan based on goals, labs, and clinical fit.
Is this practice only for women? No. We provide obesity management for men too but at this time we do not provide hormone therapy for men.
Do you offer hormone pellets? No. We do not use pellets due to their difficulty in dosing and tendency to cause supraphysiological hormone levels, which may lead to adverse effects.
Can I use HSA/FSA funds? We anticipate that HSA/FSA funds may be used on membership costs up to $150/ mo, starting January 1, 2026, based on the proposed “Big Beautiful Bill.” These funds may also be applied to other products and services.

Is Younique enrolled with Medicaid, Medicare, or commercial insurance?
Younique does not participate in Medicare, Medicaid, or commercial insurance networks and operates out‑of‑network for all payers.
I want an expensive brand drug (e.g., Zepbound, Wegovy). What should I do? Verify with your insurer before your appointment whether the medication is covere and if the prior auth can be done by an out of network provider. Often this is the case with PPO but policies but it varies by insurer. HMO and many managed-care plans will not accept prior auth requests from out-of-netowrk prescribers. If your insurance does not cover the medication you need, Younique will discuss cash‑pay or alternative options during the visit.
Do you offer discounted labs and medications?
Yes. Younique provides discounted lab pricing through contracted vendors (for example, CPL and Quest), discounted near‑wholesale generics, and cash‑pay options for branded and compounded medications when clinically appropriate.
Will Younique provide cost estimates?
Yes. Younique will provide upfront estimates for cash‑pay labs, cash‑pay medications, wholesale‑price generics, and compounded meds. These are estimates only and not guarantees. Younique cannot determine a patient’s out‑of‑pocket cost if services or medications are billed through the patient’s insurer.

What if I cannot afford membership fees and lack local access to this specialized care? Younique may offer a hardship discount on membership fees on a case‑by‑case basis. Any accommodation is discretionary and may require documentation.
Whose responsibility is it to verify insurance coverage? It is the patient’s responsibility to confirm plan benefits prior to enrollment or requesting services to be billed to insurance. Younique does not contact insurers to verify benefits for individual members.
Where should I find membership policies before enrolling? This is provided during intake. Review these policies before joining and contact Younique with questions prior to enrollment.
Do you offer discounts on memberships? In addition to hardship discounts already discussed, we do provide discounts for referrals. 5% per referral up to 5 referrals (25% off). Discount remains while the referred patient remains a member.
