Do you take insurance ?
No, I do not bill insurance companies. I can print out a receipt that you can submit to your insurance plan or health savings account for reimbursement.
Is there a long term commitment for the weight loss medications?
No, you pay per vial of medication. If you do not feel that the medications are working for you, you may stop taking them. The goal is to eventually wean off of the medications as you get to your goal weight and have established better eating habits.
Do I need an in-person appointment?
I like to have the first appointment in person, and some medications require in person visits while others can be Telehealth.
Will this medication alone, cause me to lose weight?
No, Diet and more movement is essential to losing weight on any program. A calorie deficit is required to lose weight in all circumstances. A referral to a nutritionist for advice on diet options is available.
May I get my money back for the medicine/consult/supplies if I don’t think the medicine is working or I cannot tolerate the side effects?
No, I do not offer anyone a guarantee that they will lose weight, there are many factors that affect weight loss. If the side effects are intolerable, I will not be offering refunds. This is a good weight loss tool for some people, and not for others. This is an an elective choice on your part, and may or may not work for you.
FYI **This is an optional tool, it is not medically necessary.
Risks and benefits are discussed and alternative choices for weight loss are discussed.** Consents are required.
