What you pay, and when
You pay your Clear Course total at checkout — one flat price for your plan’s initial term. The exact amount is shown before you submit payment.
What you pay TGIC vs. what you pay the pharmacy
TGIC bills two things separately: the Clear Course and your prescriptions. The Clear Course is cash-pay — that's what covers the dermatologist, the iPledge concierge, the dashboard, and ongoing access to messaging and refills. Prescriptions run through your insurance at the partner pharmacy.
The split matters because some eligible insured patients pay as low as $0 for acne prescriptions through the partner pharmacy. Isotretinoin (Accutane®), spironolactone, tretinoin, and birth control are all common acne prescriptions covered by many plans, but coverage and copays vary by patient, plan, prescription and pharmacy. The pharmacy runs the claim, applies your benefits, and quotes you the final price before you commit. Free Rx shipping is included every month.
The Clear Course pricing
The Clear Course comes in three plans, each with an initial prepaid term paid at checkout:
- Year of Clear: $29/month — $350 total for 12 months.
- The Full Course: $49/month — $195 total for 4 months.
- Month to Month: $59/month — $177 total, 3-month minimum.
After the initial prepaid term, your Clear Course automatically continues at $59 per month until you cancel.
Accutane® care pricing
Accutane® care uses the same three plan terms with prices that reflect the iPledge concierge work, monthly check-ins, and lab coordination built into every Accutane® case:
- Year of Clear: $65/month — $780 total for 12 months, includes post-course care.
- The Full Course: $79/month — $316 total for 4 months, matching a typical Accutane® course length.
- Month to Month: $99/month — $297 total, 3-month minimum.
After the initial prepaid term, your Accutane® Clear Course automatically continues at $99 per month until you cancel.

What’s NOT included in the Clear Course
Two things are billed separately: prescriptions and lab work.
Prescriptions
The partner pharmacy ships your medication and bills your insurance directly. The pharmacy quotes the final cash price or copay before shipping. Free Rx shipping is included every month. Some eligible insured patients pay as low as $0; copays vary by plan and prescription, and anyone facing a higher copay can request a generic substitution or a cash-price comparison through the dashboard.
Lab work (Accutane® patients)
Accutane® requires periodic liver function and lipid monitoring. These labs are ordered by your dermatologist and billed separately — either through your insurance or through a local draw site. Cost depends on the lab and your coverage.
HSA and FSA
The Clear Course is HSA- and FSA-eligible. TGIC does not process HSA or FSA cards directly — you pay with a regular card, and TGIC provides a submit-ready receipt for your HSA/FSA administrator. The Clear Course, dermatologist visits, prescription co-pays, and lab work all qualify as eligible medical expenses under IRS rules for acne treatment.
The receipt includes the patient name, dates of service, line-item charges, and TGIC's tax ID — everything a typical HSA/FSA administrator asks for.
Cancel and refund
Cancel directly from your dashboard — click “Manage billing or cancel” to open your secure billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current term, so you keep every month you've paid for. There are no retention calls and no cancel-by-phone-only requirement.
Each plan has a minimum commitment matching its term: 3 months (Month to Month), 4 months (The Full Course), or 12 months (Year of Clear). After the minimum, no lock-in. Your case file and message history stay accessible in your dashboard after cancellation.
Once your Clear Course starts, the Clear Course payment is non-refundable except where required by law. We may still grant a refund or credit in an individual case at our discretion.
Prescription medications cannot be returned or refunded under federal regulations, even if unused. In limited situations such as prescription delays or administrative errors, partial or full refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Full details are in the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
Common questions
How much does online acne treatment cost?
You pay your Clear Course total at checkout. Clear Courses run $177 to $780 for the initial prepaid term: Month to Month ($59/mo, $177 total, 3-month minimum), The Full Course ($49/mo, $195 total, 4 months), and Year of Clear ($29/mo, $350 total, 12 months). Accutane® care runs the same three terms at $297, $316, and $780. The exact amount is shown before you submit payment. Prescriptions are billed separately by the partner pharmacy, which runs your insurance. Free Rx shipping every month.
Does insurance cover Accutane® through TGIC?
Yes. The partner pharmacy runs your insurance on every Accutane® (isotretinoin) prescription, including the iPledge-required birth control if you need one. Some eligible insured patients pay as low as $0 through the partner pharmacy; coverage and copays vary by patient, insurance plan, prescription and pharmacy. The Clear Course itself is cash-pay — what you're paying for is the dermatologist, the iPledge concierge, and the dashboard.
Are there any fees beyond the monthly price?
No hidden fees. Here is every charge, in order. At checkout: your Clear Course total for the initial term (Month to Month $177 / The Full Course $195 / Year of Clear $350 — Accutane® care $297 / $316 / $780) — nothing higher, and no fee you were not shown before you paid. After your initial prepaid term, your Clear Course automatically continues month-to-month at $59/mo (general acne care) or $99/mo (Accutane® care) until you cancel from your dashboard. Free Rx shipping every month. Lab work (liver and lipid panels for Accutane® patients) is billed separately. Prescription costs are separate and run through your insurance via the partner pharmacy. No per-message fee, no per-visit fee, no auto-add upsells.
Does TGIC accept HSA / FSA?
The Clear Course is HSA- and FSA-eligible. TGIC doesn't process HSA or FSA cards directly — you pay with a regular card, and TGIC provides a submit-ready receipt you can hand to your HSA/FSA administrator. The Clear Course, dermatologist visits, prescription co-pays, and lab work all qualify as eligible medical expenses under IRS rules for acne treatment.
What does birth control for acne cost through TGIC?
Birth control through TGIC can be as low as $0 at the pharmacy. The partner pharmacy runs your insurance on every BCP prescription, and most plans cover oral contraceptives at no cost under the ACA. Coverage and copays vary by plan and prescription. Cash price is available if you're uninsured — the pharmacy quotes before you commit.
