Pricing FAQ

Questions About Cost

Subscription hair loss services bundle their consultation fee into a monthly medication cost — which means you keep paying the inflated price indefinitely. We charge a flat $50 provider fee once per year and send your prescription to a pharmacy of your choice. By using Cost Plus (a transparent mail-order pharmacy), medication costs are dramatically lower than what bundled services charge.
Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) is a mail-order pharmacy that prices medications at cost plus a small markup — with no hidden fees or insurance markups. Oral minoxidil is available through Cost Plus for approximately $6.10/month. You can also use your own preferred pharmacy or insurance — the prescription works anywhere.
You will not be charged the $50 service fee if treatment is not appropriate for you. The fee is only collected after you review, agree to, and sign a payment authorization — which only happens if a prescription is being issued.
Coverage varies by plan. Since oral minoxidil for hair loss is prescribed off-label, some insurers cover it and some do not. Copays typically range from $0–$30/month when covered. If your insurance does not cover it, Cost Plus pharmacy at ~$6.10/month is typically the most affordable option. The $50 provider fee is not billed to insurance.
HSA/FSA eligibility for hair loss treatment depends on your specific plan and whether the treatment is considered a qualified medical expense. Since oral minoxidil for hair loss is prescribed off-label, some plans may classify it as cosmetic and exclude it. We recommend confirming with your plan administrator before assuming eligibility.
You will need an annual renewal — a new intake and provider review, which requires another $50 service fee. Medication pricing through your pharmacy remains the same. There is no automatic renewal or subscription.
