Insurance & Pricing

Medical Health Institute accepts most major insurance plans for qualifying medical weight loss treatments, nutritionist consultations, and diagnostic testing. Coverage varies by provider and specific services, so we recommend verifying benefits before your first visit.

For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive pricing and flexible payment options including payment plans for extended treatment programs. Our IV therapy and specialized testing services are transparently priced, and we provide detailed estimates before beginning any non-covered treatments. We believe quality medical care should be accessible and work with patients to find solutions that fit their budget.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your initial consultation at Medical Health Institute, gather all relevant medical records, current medications, and any recent laboratory results. We recommend fasting for 8-12 hours before your appointment if comprehensive metabolic testing is planned.

Prepare a detailed history of previous weight loss attempts, current eating patterns, and any symptoms you've experienced that might be related to metabolic dysfunction. Bring a list of questions about our programs and treatment options. It's helpful to track your food intake and symptoms for several days prior to your visit to provide our team with accurate baseline information for developing your treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What medical conditions do you treat alongside weight loss?

We commonly treat diabetes, prediabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, thyroid disorders, and hormonal imbalances that affect weight management. Our integrated approach addresses these conditions while supporting weight loss goals.

How is your program different from commercial weight loss centers?

We provide true medical supervision with physicians and registered dietitians on staff, advanced diagnostic testing, prescription medications when appropriate, and IV therapy. Our approach treats underlying health issues rather than just providing diet plans.

What types of IV therapy do you offer for weight loss?

We offer customized IV formulations that may include B vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and other nutrients designed to boost metabolism, increase energy, and support fat burning. Each formulation is tailored to your specific needs based on testing results.

Do I need a referral from my primary care doctor?

No referral is required, though we encourage communication with your primary care physician about your weight loss plans. We can coordinate care and share progress reports with your other healthcare providers as needed.

What kind of diagnostic testing do you perform?

We typically perform comprehensive metabolic panels, hormone assessments, thyroid function tests, insulin resistance testing, and nutritional status evaluations. Additional testing may be recommended based on your individual health profile and symptoms.

How often will I need to visit the clinic during treatment?

Visit frequency varies by treatment plan but typically ranges from weekly to monthly appointments. More frequent visits may be needed initially or when starting new medications, with longer intervals as you progress.

Can you help if I have food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Absolutely! Our registered dietitians are experienced in creating effective weight loss plans that accommodate food allergies, intolerances, and various dietary preferences including vegetarian, vegan, kosher, and cultural dietary requirements.

What happens if I plateau during my weight loss program?

Plateaus are common and expected during weight loss. Our medical team can adjust medications, modify your nutrition plan, change IV therapy formulations, or investigate potential underlying issues to help you resume progress toward your goals.
