| Initial visit A clear published initial visit charge or explicit inclusion earns 2 points; a promotional entry price with a higher standard fee earns 1.5. | 1.5 / 2 $0 promotional initial visit; $99 standard outside the offer. Deducted 0.5 because the entry price depends on promotion availability and eligibility. | 2 / 2 The weight-management page explicitly states a free assessment with no consultation fee. | 2 / 2 Current landing-page FAQ lists $99. |
| Follow-up cost A published follow-up fee or an explicit statement that visits are included. | 2 / 2 $40 per follow-up is published. | 2 / 2 The Transparent Pricing monthly care plan checklist lists “Ongoing clinical follow-up” as included. | 1 / 2 $40 follow-up is stated, but $60 monthly program pricing conflicts with the FAQ’s recurring-cost description. |
| Medication price A published medication starting amount, with introductory and ongoing amounts distinguished when applicable. This does not establish an exact package quote. | 2 / 2 Published Ontario drug prices by labelled presentation; support discount already applied. | 2 / 2 $149 starting-dose first month, then from $199/month. Higher doses may change the price, confirmed before charging. | 1 / 2 Starting drug prices are published; package and conflicting membership terms need confirmation. |
| Delivery cost A published shipping charge or an explicit included/free-delivery statement. | 2 / 2 Delivery is described as included. | 2 / 2 Shipping is explicitly included in the monthly care plan. | 2 / 2 Free shipping is advertised. |
| Insurance process Insurance: 2 points for explicitly documented direct billing; 1 for pay-and-claim or claim assistance without confirmed direct billing; 0 if no claim route is verified. Coverage is not guaranteed. | 2 / 2 Direct billing is described; plan eligibility still needs checking. | 1 / 2 The FAQ describes pharmacy-submitted claims, but does not explain whether you pay upfront or how the remaining balance is collected. Partial process disclosure. | 1 / 2 A reimbursement invoice and pay-and-claim route are described. This earns 1 point because direct billing is not established. |
