Seriously Health gives prospective patients several prices to consider before they ever book: a $150 initial visit, $100 monthly follow-ups, injectable GLP-1 treatment starting at $299 for a one-month supply, and a 2026 three-month GLP-1 membership advertised from $89 a month. The central budgeting question is not which number is lowest. It is what each number buys, which charges apply together, and what happens when treatment needs change.
This documentary review examines the practice’s published offerings and terms consulted October 19, 2026; that is not necessarily when the pages were updated. Seriously Health describes a Virginia Beach medical practice serving Virginia residents in person and through telehealth. Its documentation establishes a real menu of services and payment policies, but leaves important gaps around medication identity, membership terms and the combined treatment bill. The practical goal is to separate usable prices from figures that still require a written explanation.
At a glance
- Medication starting price
- Injectable GLP-1 treatment starts at $299 for a one-month supply. The provider says price can change with dosage, individual needs or a different GLP-1; the specific product and formulation are not identified.Sources: [3]
- Consultation charges
- The initial visit is listed at $150 and monthly follow-ups at $100. The supplied pages do not establish whether these are included in the medication or membership prices.
- Membership ambiguity
- A 2026 three-month GLP-1 membership starts at $89 per month, while the terms say there are no subscriptions or automatic payments. The relationship between these arrangements is unexplained.
- Booking and cancellation
- Bookings require a 50% deposit credited toward the visit. Cancellation or rescheduling is free with more than 24 hours’ notice; cancellation or a no-show within 24 hours forfeits the deposit.Sources: [5]
Read the prices as separate entries, not a completed budget
The most concrete starting point is the consultation schedule: $150 for an initial visit and $100 for a monthly follow-up. Separately, the GLP-1 page advertises treatment starting at $299 for a one-month supply. These are published charges, not merely a request to contact sales. What is missing is an explicit statement of whether the medication figure includes those visits, or whether the patient pays both. Neither an all-inclusive total nor a mandatory combined charge is established.
The medication price is a starting price, not a documented fixed rate throughout care. Seriously Health says it varies with dosage and individual treatment needs, and may change when dosage increases or the patient switches GLP-1 type. The evidence does not identify an introductory discount or a defined later renewal price for this offering. It also does not define the supply as four weeks; the published language is one month.
A useful written quote would identify the medication, visit charges, supplies, shipping and any other required fees together. Our guide to what a program price includes explains why those categories matter. Here, the published figures support comparison of individual line items, but not a reliable claim that Seriously Health costs a particular amount altogether in the first or subsequent month.
| Item | Published amount or condition | What remains unclear |
|---|---|---|
| Initial consultation | $150 | Whether any medication or membership offering includes it |
| Monthly follow-up | $100 | Whether it is separate from the quoted medication price |
| Injectable GLP-1 supply | Starting at $299 for one month | Specific product, formulation, supplies and shipping charges |
| 2026 three-month GLP-1 membership | Starting at $89/month | Product, quantity, payment timing, renewal and cancellation terms |
| In-office blood draw | $25 drawing fee | Laboratory processing charges and any separate testing costs |
The $89 membership needs its own explanation
The homepage promotes “2026 GLP-1 3 Month Memberships” starting at $89 a month. That headline does not identify the drug, quantity, presentation or access criteria. It also does not explain whether payment is collected monthly, whether an upfront option exists, what renews, or which cancellation rules govern the arrangement. A three-month label alone does not establish medication quantity, mandatory prepayment or a minimum commitment.
Other published language complicates the picture. The terms say Seriously Health does not use subscriptions or automatic payments and that patients are never locked into a recurring plan. The supplied evidence also notes that the GLP-1 page says membership is not required. These statements could describe different purchasing options rather than a direct contradiction, but the available documentation does not explain the distinction.
The $89 and $299 figures therefore should not be treated as interchangeable prices for the same treatment. Nor is there enough information to calculate savings between them. Ask for the membership’s full terms and a side-by-side description of what each option covers. The distinctions in our billing-cycle guide are useful here: a monthly advertised amount, a package duration and the timing of actual charges answer different questions.
The first payment buys an appointment, not a guaranteed prescription
Seriously Health’s terms require a 50% deposit for all bookings, credited toward the visit total, with the remaining balance due when service is provided. The deposit is not described as an additional booking charge. More importantly, the site states that payment does not guarantee the writing or dispensing of a prescription. Patients should understand the consultation as a clinical assessment, not a medication purchase that necessarily results in treatment.
Online booking sends patients to Vagaro, which the provider describes as its HIPAA-compliant electronic health record platform. Patients choose an appointment date and provider, enter contact information, and complete a comprehensive medical history. At the initial appointment, the clinician reviews health goals and medical history and may order tests or medication. The resulting plan can include lifestyle recommendations and prescription treatment when appropriate.
The practice describes common patients as having a BMI above 25 and a plateau after lifestyle changes, while also mentioning elective weight-loss support. That description is not automatic eligibility for any particular medicine. The published team includes Patrick Fortes, MD, described as board certified, and family nurse practitioners Veronica Malone, Nisha Rathnayake and Gaida Celiz. A booking should clarify who will conduct the assessment rather than assume every appointment is with a physician.
Medication identity matters before the price can be compared
Seriously Health documents injectable GLP-1 care, with in-office injections or medication shipped home for self-administration. However, the supplied pages do not identify active ingredients, brands, concentrations or whether the offered preparations are compounded. That missing specificity limits meaningful price comparison. A one-month quote for an unnamed GLP-1 does not show whether it matches another provider’s product, presentation or included services.
The practice says it sources pharmaceuticals from U.S.-based pharmacies and manufacturers that are FDA registered and cGMP certified. Those are provider claims; the supplied material does not name the dispensing pharmacies or independently verify their credentials. Registration language also does not establish FDA approval of Seriously Health or of a particular medication. Product approval and a business’s regulatory status are different questions.
If a proposed prescription is compounded, FDA says compounded preparations are not FDA approved and do not undergo its premarket review for safety, effectiveness and quality. Nonapproval alone does not demonstrate clinical inequivalence. FDA recommends compounded drugs when an individual’s medical needs cannot be met by an approved drug, with a prescription and a state-licensed pharmacy. Nothing in this evidence establishes that Seriously Health uses compounded products; the point is to obtain the product identity before comparing prices.
Follow-up, testing and delivery can change the practical cost
The advertised care process includes monthly follow-ups, either in person or through telehealth, to review progress, medication tolerance, tests and possible treatment adjustments. Those responsibilities give context to the $100 follow-up charge: the visit is described as more than a refill transaction. For budgeting, however, the practice still needs to confirm whether that charge is included in the selected arrangement. Its terms also say a gap of more than six months leads to an initial consultation to re-establish care.
Seriously Health says patients using only GLP-1s do not require labs; this is its published policy, not individualized advice. It accepts outside results up to six months old and lists a $25 in-office blood-drawing fee. That fee does not establish the laboratory processing cost. Separate rules apply to controlled substances and stimulants: the practice requires an EKG and bloodwork, with possible charges to repeat older tests. Those requirements should not be generalized to every GLP-1 patient.
For medication access, the GLP-1 page offers weekly in-office injections billed per visit, without publishing that visit’s price. It also advertises first-visit clinic availability or two-day shipping and guidance in person or by phone for a first home shipment. Shipping language does not establish the total time from assessment to arrival. Carrier, refrigeration procedures, shipping charges and replacement policies are undocumented. FDA advises not using injectable GLP-1 medication that arrives warm or insufficiently refrigerated, and contacting the provider or pharmacy.
Self-pay and cancellation have specific boundaries
Seriously Health does not accept insurance as payment. It lists major credit and debit cards, cash and CareCredit, and says HSA/FSA can be used for appointments. That wording does not document HSA/FSA acceptance for every medication purchase. CareCredit’s presence is a payment option, not evidence of particular financing rates or approval. The privacy policy allows documentation for patients requesting insurer reimbursement, but does not promise coverage or payment from an insurer.
Appointment cancellation or rescheduling is free with more than 24 hours’ notice. Cancellation or a no-show within 24 hours forfeits the 50% deposit. Because the wording says “more than,” patients should not assume notice exactly 24 hours beforehand qualifies. The supplied terms do not establish when any returned deposit would reach a bank account. Our cancellation and refund guide explains why ending a service and recovering money are separate issues.
Patients may stop the program at any time for personal or financial reasons, but previous visits are nonrefundable. The terms also say prescription medications cannot be returned or refunded once ordered or delivered, even unopened; the practice attributes that restriction to medication safety regulations. That boundary can matter before shipment, not just after receipt. Obtain the final product and price before authorizing an order, while recognizing that the three-month membership’s own cancellation mechanics remain unclear.
This is Virginia-based care with a physical-office option
The terms identify Seriously Health, LLC as a Virginia Beach medical practice and limit services to Virginia residents, in person or by telehealth. Its address is 130 Business Park Dr., Virginia Beach, VA 23462. The practice advertises a location near Town Center, free parking and walk-in access. These details distinguish it from a nationwide shipping-only service, but they do not establish availability for patients outside Virginia.
Published hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with Sunday closure and a noon-to-1 p.m. lunch break. Patient contact routes include support@seriouslyhealth.com and the front desk at 757-219-2020. The practice says its office answers texts, emails and calls without call centers or AI chatbots. No response-time guarantee or documented Spanish-language assistance appears in the supplied evidence.
The practice says it opened in 2010 and offers oral, injectable and supplemental weight-loss medications. Some service restrictions are treatment-specific: starting controlled substances requires an in-office initial visit, although it advertises virtual refills for six consecutive follow-ups. Its terms exclude emergency and urgent care. For a cost comparison, local access and telephone support are meaningful features, but they should not be mistaken for unlimited availability or a promise that every treatment can begin remotely.
Resolve the written-policy gaps before paying
The most important request is a personalized written quote that names the drug and presentation, separates consultation and medication charges, identifies shipping and supply fees, and explains future price changes. If the $89 membership is offered, request its terms rather than assuming the general no-subscription statement answers every question. Our quote checklist can help organize that conversation without turning an advertised starting price into a presumed total.
Privacy language also deserves clarification. The homepage calls direct-pay visits “100% private” and says they are hidden from MyChart or insurance-based data networks. The privacy policy nevertheless permits information sharing with laboratories, pharmacies and specialists for treatment, as well as legally required disclosures. Self-pay therefore should not be read as documented zero information sharing. Patients may request records, and the policy allows reasonable copying fees.
A separate enrollment inconsistency concerns age: the FAQ describes care for patients 12 and older with written patient and parent or guardian consent, while the terms require age 18 or older to consent. Families need clarification rather than assuming either statement fully resolves access. The terms also contain binding-arbitration and class-action-waiver language and a stated liability limit. These are published contract provisions, not an assessment of enforceability, and deserve review alongside the financial terms.
Questions & answers
Is $299 the complete monthly price at Seriously Health?
Not demonstrably. It is the starting price for a one-month GLP-1 supply, with potential changes based on dosage and treatment needs. The practice separately lists $150 for the initial visit and $100 for monthly follow-ups. The supplied pages do not say whether those consultation charges, shipping or supplies are included in the medication figure.
What does the $89-per-month membership include?
The available advertisement does not provide enough detail to answer. It describes a 2026 three-month GLP-1 membership starting at $89 per month, without naming the product, quantity or full payment conditions. Ask how it differs from the $299 medication offering and how its terms fit with the practice’s statement that it has no subscriptions or automatic payments.
Can I pay for individual in-office injections instead?
Seriously Health advertises weekly in-office injections billed per visit as an option before purchasing a full month. The supplied page does not publish the charge for that option. Confirm the medication, the injection-visit price, whether a separate consultation is required and how follow-up is billed. Do not substitute the published $100 monthly follow-up fee for an undocumented injection price.
Will insurance or an HSA cover the bill?
The practice does not accept insurance as payment and specifically permits HSA/FSA payment for appointments. Its policy allows documentation when a patient requests insurer reimbursement, but does not guarantee reimbursement. The supplied material does not establish eligibility of every expense for HSA/FSA treatment or insurance benefits. Confirm the practice’s payment rules separately from your plan’s coverage rules.
What money can I lose if I cancel?
Bookings require a 50% deposit. More than 24 hours’ notice permits free cancellation or rescheduling; cancellation or a no-show within 24 hours forfeits the deposit. Past visits are nonrefundable, and prescription medications are nonreturnable and nonrefundable once ordered or delivered, even unopened. The three-month membership’s specific cancellation terms are not explained in the supplied advertisement.
Can I use Seriously Health entirely through telehealth?
The practice offers telehealth for Virginia residents and monthly virtual follow-ups, with home shipment available for injectable GLP-1 treatment. That does not mean every service is remote: starting controlled substances requires an in-office visit under its published policy. Confirm the pathway for your proposed care, including any testing, shipment arrangements and initial consultation requirements, before paying.
Our assessment
Seriously Health offers useful practical detail: a physical Virginia Beach office, telehealth for Virginia residents, published consultation fees, monthly follow-up, a medication starting price and explicit deposit and refund boundaries. Those disclosures make parts of the budget understandable. They do not establish the full cost of GLP-1 care. The strongest unresolved issues are the relationship between the $89 membership and $299 supply price, whether visits are additional, and the identity and presentation of the prescribed medication. For an adult comparing self-pay options, the next useful step is a written, itemized quote and the applicable membership terms—not choosing the lowest headline. The practice may offer a workable local-and-remote care arrangement, but the supplied documentation is insufficient to judge its overall value or predict treatment results.
