All visits are online via a HIPAA compliant Zoom conference. Before your appointment, make sure you have the Zoom app downloaded on your phone or computer, and allow microphone and camera access in your settings. Please make sure you are in a location with good cellular or wifi signal to allow for the best communication.
Do you accept insurance?
At this time, we do not accept insurance. We may be working on this in the future.
What medications to you prescribe?
This depends on each individual patient. Common medications prescribed include phentermine (TX and OK patients only), Contrave, Qsymia, Saxenda, Wegovy, and Zepbound. Diabetic medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro are not prescribed unless you are diabetic. Due to supply shortages of Wegovy and Zepbound, compounded medications such as semaglutide or tirzepatide may be prescribed. If requested, a certificate of analysis of the compounded medication will be provided to the patient.
What is the cost of the medications?
This depends on each medication. If your insurance covers weight loss medications, your insurance company determines the copay amount. If your insurance does not cover weight loss medications, or if you are not insured, we will work with you to provide the most affordable option for you. Generally speaking, you will not pay more than $250 per month for your medication.
Is there a BMI requirement?
You must have a BMI of 25 to start weight loss medication.
What happens when I reach my goal weight?
You will begin the maintenance program, with a lower dose of medication. It is recommended to stay on the maintenance dose for at least 3 months. You do not have to stop taking the medication if you feel like you would benefit from taking it long term.
Can I take weight loss medications while breastfeeding?
Unfortunately, these medications can pass to your baby through breast milk, and we are not able to prescribe these medications until your baby is fully weaned. Until then, focus on eating a healthy diet and exercising 30 minutes per day!
