Services Offered

We prescribe and monitor FDA-approved weight loss medications including GLP-1 receptor agonists when appropriate for your medical profile. Our IV hydration services include customized formulations to support energy, metabolism, and recovery during your weight loss journey. Body composition analysis tracks muscle mass and fat loss, providing better insight than scale weight alone.

What to Expect
Your weight loss journey begins with a comprehensive medical consultation including detailed health history, physical examination, and laboratory testing to identify any underlying conditions that could affect your weight loss success. We review your current medications, past weight loss attempts, and discuss realistic goals and timeline expectations.
Based on your medical evaluation, we develop a personalized treatment plan that may include prescription medications, IV therapy recommendations, and nutritional guidance. Follow-up appointments are scheduled regularly to monitor your progress, adjust medications, and provide ongoing support. We track not only weight loss but also improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol, and other health markers that benefit from weight reduction.
Why Choose Coastal Medical Care
Choosing Coastal Medical Care means partnering with a medical practice that can address all aspects of your health while focusing on your weight loss goals. Our physicians can prescribe and safely monitor weight loss medications while managing other health conditions, providing coordinated care you won't find at standalone weight loss clinics.
Our integrated approach combining medical supervision, IV therapy, and family practice services allows us to identify and address underlying issues that may be hindering your weight loss success. We stay current with the latest advances in weight management medicine and can adjust your treatment plan as new options become available. Most importantly, our focus on building long-term patient relationships means you'll have ongoing support for maintaining your weight loss and overall health improvements.
Insurance & Pricing
We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, and Cigna for covered medical services. Insurance coverage for weight loss treatments varies by plan, but we can often bill for consultations and management of related conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Initial weight management consultations typically range from $250-350, with follow-up visits around $150-200. IV therapy sessions are generally not covered by insurance and range from $150-250 depending on the specific treatment. We provide transparent pricing and can help verify your insurance benefits before beginning treatment.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success in our program requires commitment to regular follow-up appointments and honest communication about your challenges and progress. Bring all current medications, including supplements, to your initial consultation. Be prepared to discuss your medical history thoroughly, including previous weight loss attempts and any eating disorder history.
Come to appointments prepared to discuss your eating patterns, exercise habits, and any side effects you may be experiencing. We recommend keeping a food diary before your first visit to help us understand your current habits. Be patient with the process - medically-supervised weight loss takes time, and we prioritize safety alongside effectiveness. Our medical team is always available between visits if you have concerns about medications or side effects.
