What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation including detailed health history, physical examination, and laboratory testing to identify any underlying conditions affecting weight. We develop a medically appropriate weight loss plan that considers your current health status, medications, and family medical history. Regular monitoring includes weight checks, blood pressure monitoring, and lab work to ensure safe progress. Follow-up appointments are scheduled every 2-4 weeks initially, with adjustments made based on your response to treatment. We coordinate with any specialists you may be seeing and ensure all aspects of your healthcare team are informed about your weight loss efforts. Family members are encouraged to participate in education sessions to create supportive home environments.

Why Choose Ready Health and Wellness

As a family practice, we understand your complete health picture and can address weight loss alongside other medical concerns efficiently. Our medical supervision ensures safety and efficacy, especially for patients with existing health conditions. You'll benefit from established relationships with your healthcare team rather than starting fresh with specialists you don't know. Our approach emphasizes family involvement and support, recognizing that sustainable weight loss often requires household changes. We offer competitive pricing compared to specialized weight loss centers while providing more comprehensive medical oversight. Most importantly, we're committed to long-term relationships with our patients, providing ongoing support and maintenance well beyond initial weight loss goals.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid. Many weight management services are covered when medically necessary and ordered by your physician. We handle insurance pre-authorization and can provide cost estimates before beginning treatment. For uninsured patients, we offer competitive self-pay rates and payment plan options. Our integrated approach often reduces overall healthcare costs by addressing multiple conditions simultaneously rather than requiring separate specialist visits.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first visit, gather all current medications, recent lab results, and any previous weight loss attempt records. Bring a family member if possible, as we encourage family support in weight management efforts. Be prepared to discuss your complete medical history honestly, including mental health concerns that might affect eating behaviors. After starting your program, follow medication instructions carefully and report any side effects promptly. Keep accurate food logs and activity records as requested. Don't hesitate to contact us between visits with questions or concerns, and remember that sustainable weight loss is a gradual process that requires patience and consistency.
