| Part of the quote | Ask what it includes | Ask about later charges |
|---|---|---|
| The assessment | Is the visit included in the program fee? | What would the assessment cost if we agree against a prescription? |
| Tests | Which tests are being proposed, and why? | Are collection and clinician review included? |
| Medicine | What exact product and supply does this quote cover? | What might change the refill price? |
| Follow-up | Which reviews and messages are included? | Is another appointment charged separately? |
| Membership | What do I receive while the fee continues? | How do I stop it, and when does billing end? |
Compare like with like
For a per-visit offer, ask for the price of the visit you are arranging. For a membership, ask about the charge each billing period and any commitment.
For a package, request a list of its contents. Ask which items are optional and what happens to the bill if the plan changes.
Keep the time period visible
Ask when a quoted rate ends. If the opening price is a special offer, request the price that follows it.
Write down both the amount and the period it covers. Leave room to note anything still unpriced.

Keep payment and coverage questions together. If you plan to use insurance, ask your plan about the exact visit, tests and medicine before relying on an advertised fee.
