The short answer

Ask who is responsible for care, what happens before treatment, how follow-up works, where medicines come from, and what the full cost includes.

What to understand

A program should not make you work to find basic safety information. Ask who makes medical decisions and where that clinician is licensed. Ask how health history and current medicines are reviewed, how questions or side effects are handled, and which pharmacy is involved. Ask for the full cost, including ongoing fees, before you enroll. Clear answers are a useful sign; evasive answers are a reason to slow down.

Five questions: clinician · evaluation · follow-up · pharmacy · full cost
