How to use the clinic fit quiz

The quiz above asks ten questions about what you want from GLP-1 care and returns a ranking of four care models, with the reason each one earned or lost points and the trade-off behind every answer you gave. It is an aid to thinking, built to be argued with.

What it measures

Priorities, not suitability. Speed, whether you want to be examined, whether visits must go through insurance, how you think about the cost of care, conditions that need closer monitoring, whether you have a primary clinician, how you prefer to communicate, which medication route you expect, how far you will travel, and what else you want from the program. Each answer adds between 0 and 3 points to each of the four models. The weights are printed in the source and the formula panel shows the arithmetic.

How the weights were set

Editorially, from three kinds of source. The Wegovy and Zepbound labels set the monitoring weights: hypoglycemia risk with insulin or a sulfonylurea, kidney injury after dehydration, pancreatitis and gallbladder warnings, the pregnancy instructions. The FSMB 2022 report sets the weight against questionnaire-only care. The AACE/ACE guideline and what the four models typically offer set the rest. Where a weight is a judgement about what a model usually does, the trade-off text says so and tells you what to confirm.

What a result means

A model at 85 percent is one whose usual strengths line up with what you said you want. It is not a statement about any clinic. Two clinics of the same model can differ more than two models do, which is why every result ends in trade-offs to check rather than a verdict. When the top two are within five points the quiz says so; the choice between them will come from the specific clinics, not the model.

The monitoring notes are the part to take most seriously. If you ticked a condition, the notes say what any clinic, of any model, would need to do about it. A remote program that does those things is fine. One that does not is not, however well it scores on speed.

What it does not do

It does not decide whether you should take a GLP-1; only a prescriber with your history can. It does not name, rank or recommend clinics; formblendsreviews.com evaluates named programs on a published rubric. It does not know your state's rules; formblendsdirectory.com does. It stores nothing; your answers stay in your browser and disappear when you close the page.

Taking the result to a clinic

1. Read the page for your top one or two models: in-person, primary care, telehealth-only, hybrid.
2. Print or copy the result. The trade-offs list is, in effect, your personal set of things to confirm.
3. Add the first-call questions that the clinic's website leaves unanswered.
4. Check the licence and the pharmacy yourself: what prescriber means and evaluating a clinic's pharmacy partner.
