Insurance & Pricing
We work with most major insurance plans and can verify coverage for medical consultations and certain services during your initial visit. While many insurance plans don't cover weight loss programs specifically, some medical services may be covered when treating obesity-related health conditions. We offer transparent pricing for all services and provide package deals for comprehensive programs. Payment plans are available to help make our services more accessible, and we work with patients to find affordable solutions that fit their budget.
First-Time Patient Tips
Before your first appointment, complete our detailed health questionnaire and gather information about any previous weight loss attempts, including what worked and what didn't. Keep a food diary for at least three days prior to your visit to help us understand your current eating patterns and identify areas for improvement. Plan for your initial consultation to take about 60-90 minutes.
Come prepared with questions about our approach and be ready to discuss your goals honestly and realistically. Bring a list of current medications, supplements, and any recent lab work. We encourage patients to bring a support person if it helps them feel more comfortable, as family support often plays a crucial role in successful weight loss.
