Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans for our medical services and many plans also cover our counseling services, especially when related to medical conditions. Coverage for weight loss services varies by plan, but we'll help verify your benefits and explain what's covered. For services not covered by insurance, we offer reasonable self-pay rates and payment plans. Initial consultations range from $150-250, with follow-up visits typically costing $75-150. Counseling sessions are usually $100-150 per session, and many insurance plans provide mental health coverage.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, gather information about your medical history, current medications, and previous weight loss attempts. Consider any emotional or stress-related eating patterns you've noticed, as this information helps our counseling team understand your needs. Be prepared to discuss not just your physical health but also your mental health history and current stressors. Bring a list of questions about both the medical and counseling aspects of our program. After starting treatment, be patient with the process and commit to attending both medical and counseling appointments as scheduled. Remember that addressing both physical and emotional aspects of weight loss takes time, but this comprehensive approach leads to better long-term results.
