About Young Community Medical Care

Treatment at Young Community Medical Care

Young Community Medical Care has been serving Louisville's weight loss community for over a decade with a focus on comprehensive, medically-supervised programs. We understand that sustainable weight loss isn't just about quick fixes or fad diets, it's about creating lasting lifestyle changes that work for your unique body and circumstances.

Our team of medical professionals and certified nutritionists work together to develop personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of weight gain. We believe in taking a holistic approach that considers your medical history, current health status, and personal goals to create a roadmap for success that you can actually stick to.

Services Offered

Our weight loss services combine medical expertise with practical support to help you achieve lasting results. We offer comprehensive initial consultations that include metabolic testing, body composition analysis, and a thorough review of your medical history. Our medical team can prescribe FDA-approved weight loss medications when appropriate, while our nutritionists create customized meal plans that fit your lifestyle and preferences. We also provide ongoing monitoring through regular check-ins, lab work to track your progress, and adjustments to your plan as needed. Group support sessions are available for those who benefit from peer encouragement, and we offer one-on-one counseling to address emotional eating patterns. Our approach isn't about restricting yourself into misery, it's about finding sustainable habits that help you feel better and live healthier.

Insurance & Pricing

We accept most major insurance plans including Anthem, Humana, and UnitedHealth, though coverage for weight loss services varies by plan. Initial consultations range from $200-300, with follow-up visits typically $75-150. We offer package deals for patients paying out-of-pocket, and we're transparent about all costs upfront. Payment plans are available for qualifying patients, and we'll work with you to verify your insurance benefits before your first appointment.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment with a list of current medications, recent lab results if available, and a food diary from the past week. Don't worry about starting a diet before you see us, we'd rather see your actual eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothes for body composition testing, and plan for your appointment to take about 90 minutes. Bring a support person if that would be helpful. Most importantly, come with realistic expectations and an open mind. Weight loss is a process, and we're here to guide you through it step by step.
