KAYU Health prices care clearly—and keeps pharmacy out of membership ARR on purpose. If you have been confused by clinics that bury medication inside a single sticky price, this page is the antidote.
The ladder at a glance

|---|---|---|

Pharmacy and medications are billed separately at cost. Membership buys clinician-led process: review, protocol design when appropriate, follow-up cadence, and care coordination—not a bundled mystery Rx.
Who each tier tends to fit
Consult ($49.99). You want a real clinical conversation before committing to membership. You may be comparing pathways (TRT, BHRT, metabolic support) or bringing outside labs for review direction.
Root ($199). You need foundational clinician-led care and a clear monitoring cadence without the highest touch frequency. Good for straightforward protocols once eligibility is established.
Branch ($499). You want deeper follow-up intensity—more complex titration, tighter check-ins, or overlapping hormone + metabolic questions that need more clinical time.
Canopy ($799). You want the highest-touch membership for complex care coordination and closer clinician access patterns. Still not a “stronger drug”—intensity of care, not marketing dosage.
Exact inclusions can evolve; treat live plan pages as transactional source of truth. This page explains the philosophy and fit logic.
Pharmacy-at-cost reminder
When a medication is appropriate and prescribed, you should see pharmacy pricing as its own line—not hidden inside Root/Branch/Canopy. That separation protects honesty in membership economics and helps you compare apples to apples with other clinics.

What we will not invent on this page
No fabricated conversion rates, CAC payback stories, or member-count brags. Prices and fit logic only.
Start
/book a consult or take the /quiz, then choose a plan on /pricing when you are ready.
Choosing without overthinking
If you are unsure, start with consult and labs. Tier selection is easier after you know pathway complexity. A straightforward confirmed protocol may fit Root. Overlapping hormone and metabolic questions may fit Branch or Canopy. Your clinician can advise; the quiz cannot assign a tier by score.
Scenario sketches (illustrative)
- Consult → Root: Confirmed straightforward pathway after labs; stable monitoring needs; patient prefers foundational cadence.
- Consult → Branch: Overlapping TRT or BHRT plus metabolic questions; tighter follow-up while titrating.
- Consult → Canopy: Complex coordination needs and highest-touch clinical access patterns.
- Consult → not yet: Labs incomplete, contraindications, or lifestyle-first plan—no membership push.
These sketches are educational, not guarantees. Live plan pages govern inclusions. Prices locked for this draft: Consult $49.99 · Root $199 · Branch $499 · Canopy $799 · pharmacy out of ARR · California only · clinicians Narine Chilyan, DNP, AGNP-C · Dr. Aram Mkhitarian, DO.
FAQ-adjacent clarity for sales and SEO
Searchers comparing “hormone clinic membership cost California” need this page to say the quiet parts loudly: care versus drug, California-only, named clinicians, labs before protocol. Linking /plans/root, /plans/branch, /plans/canopy, and /pricing keeps educational copy honest against live commerce surfaces.
Bottom line
Root, Branch, and Canopy are care memberships for California hormone patients who have completed the labs→protocol sequence with named clinicians. Consult is the on-ramp. Pharmacy is never silently inside the membership number. If that clarity matches how you want to buy healthcare, start with /book or /quiz, then choose a plan on /pricing when clinically appropriate.
