Insurance & Pricing

Most insurance plans don't cover elective weight loss treatments, though some diagnostic testing may be covered when medically necessary. Initial consultation fees typically range from $150-250, with ongoing program costs varying based on prescribed medications and services chosen. Monthly program fees generally range from $200-400, including medications, injections, and regular monitoring. Some flexible payment plans and package deals may be available for comprehensive treatment programs.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared for your consultation with a complete list of current medications, supplements, and previous weight loss attempts. Be honest about your eating habits, exercise patterns, and realistic timeline expectations. Medical weight loss requires commitment to regular appointments and following prescribed protocols for safety. Consider your budget for ongoing treatment, as medical supervision and prescription medications involve recurring costs. Ask about support resources and what to expect during the initial adjustment period with new medications.
