What to Expect

Your weight loss journey at Nova Medical Services begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation that builds on our existing knowledge of your health history if you're already a patient, or includes a thorough new patient assessment if you're joining our practice. We review all current medications, perform necessary lab work, and assess any medical conditions that might affect your weight loss approach.

Once we develop your personalized weight management plan, we integrate it with your routine healthcare visits for maximum convenience and continuity. Regular follow-ups are scheduled based on your individual needs and can often be combined with other medical appointments. This integrated approach ensures that your weight loss progress is monitored alongside your overall health, allowing us to adjust both your weight management and other treatments as needed for optimal results.

Why Choose Nova Medical Services

The primary advantage of choosing Nova Medical Services is the integration of weight management with your family's complete healthcare needs. Unlike standalone weight loss clinics, we have the full picture of your health, allowing us to create more effective, safer treatment plans that consider all your medical conditions and medications. This comprehensive approach often leads to better outcomes and fewer complications.

Our long-standing presence in the Miami community means we've built trust with thousands of families who rely on us for all their healthcare needs. Our physicians have extensive experience and are board-certified in family medicine, bringing a depth of medical knowledge that purely cosmetic or specialized weight loss clinics can't match. We also offer the convenience of managing all your healthcare in one location, saving time and ensuring seamless communication between all aspects of your care.

Insurance & Pricing

As a full-service family practice, Nova Medical Services accepts most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, and United Healthcare. Many of our weight management services are covered under preventive care or medical necessity, especially when weight loss is prescribed to treat or prevent other health conditions like diabetes or hypertension.

We work closely with insurance companies to maximize coverage for both your routine healthcare and weight management services. Our billing team is experienced in obtaining prior authorizations for weight loss medications and can help you understand what's covered under your specific plan. For services not covered by insurance, we offer competitive self-pay rates.

First-Time Patient Tips

If you're a new patient, please arrive 15 minutes early to complete registration and bring your insurance cards, photo ID, and a complete list of current medications. For existing patients adding weight management services, we'll review your recent lab work and may order additional tests if needed. Come prepared to discuss your weight history, previous attempts at weight loss, and your health goals honestly.

Once you begin weight management treatment, maintain regular appointments for both weight loss monitoring and routine healthcare needs. Take medications as prescribed and report any side effects promptly. Remember that as your family doctor, we're here to help you achieve not just weight loss, but overall better health and quality of life. Don't hesitate to discuss how your weight loss progress is affecting other aspects of your health.
