Our physicians are experienced in managing complex medical cases and can safely supervise weight loss for patients with diabetes, heart conditions, and other health concerns. We provide continuity of care that includes both weight management and regular healthcare needs, eliminating the need to coordinate between multiple providers. Our family practice approach means we understand the lifestyle and dietary challenges faced by New Orleans residents and can provide practical, culturally sensitive guidance. We offer longer-term relationships and ongoing support that extends well beyond your active weight loss period.

Insurance & Pricing

As a primary care practice, we accept most major insurance plans and Medicare for weight management services that are deemed medically necessary. We work closely with insurance providers to maximize coverage for your weight loss treatments and coordinate benefits with your other healthcare needs. Our team will verify your insurance coverage during your initial visit and help you understand any out-of-pocket costs for services not covered by insurance. For patients without insurance coverage, we offer competitive self-pay rates and payment plans that make our services accessible. As an established primary care practice, we also provide transparent pricing for all services and can often provide more cost-effective care by addressing multiple health needs during single visits.

First-Time Patient Tips

To maximize success with our medically integrated weight management program, maintain open communication about all aspects of your health including any symptoms, medication effects, or concerns that arise during your weight loss journey. Keep all scheduled appointments for both weight management and routine healthcare to ensure comprehensive monitoring of your progress and overall health. Follow all medical recommendations carefully, especially regarding medication timing and dietary restrictions that may relate to your existing health conditions. Be honest about your eating habits, activity levels, and any challenges you're experiencing so we can adjust your program appropriately. Take advantage of our comprehensive approach by addressing any other health concerns during your weight management visits. Remember that sustainable weight loss often requires addressing underlying health issues, so be patient with the process and trust that our integrated approach will provide the best long-term results for your overall wellness.

Yes, we specialize in managing weight loss for patients with complex medical conditions. Our integrated approach allows us to coordinate your weight loss program with existing treatments and monitor all aspects of your health.

Will my insurance cover weight loss treatment through primary care?

Insurance coverage is often better for medically necessary weight loss treatments provided by primary care physicians. We'll work with your insurance to maximize coverage and help you understand your benefits.
