About Balanced Vitality Center

What is Balanced Vitality Center?

Balanced Vitality Center is a hormone and weight loss practice at 10140 Clear Vista St Suite 5 in Orlando, FL 32832. It names Orlando and Lake Nona as the places it serves. Its Google listing shows a 5 rating from 72 reviews, in the category weight loss service. The prescriber named is Dr. Veronica Sampayo, APRN, DNP, who founded the practice. She describes herself as board certified, with over 18 years in healthcare and 10 years as a nurse practitioner.

The practice offers BVC Care Plans, weight loss with a care plan, men's health with testosterone replacement therapy, menopause care, health assessments, Metabolic Mastery Hub by BVC, a Postpartum Reset, vitamin injections and supplements. The GLP-1 medications it names are tirzepatide and semaglutide, sold as Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic. Its listed number, (321) 471-0957, is text only.

What does it cost?

BVC Express is the medication-only plan, delivered by telemedicine to Florida residents. Tirzepatide is $400 a month and semaglutide is $350 a month, each after a $50 one-time sign-up fee. The practice says the monthly price includes the medication, follow up lab orders, telemedicine check-ins, supplies, the BVC Toolkit and portal access. The plan is described as having no contract, and the first consultation is complimentary. The monthly price covers medication up to a set dose, with doses adjusted monthly. The practice does not say what happens above that dose.

On insurance, the practice says: "We prescribe FDA-approved GLP-1 medications and will work with your commercial pharmacy when insurance coverage is available." If your plan requires prior authorization, that help costs $50 per request. Without coverage, it says it can help you explore cash pay options and manufacturer savings programs, and that medications not covered are priced at wholesale. Intake and labs are listed at a $1,000 value and ongoing support at a $500 value. Those are values, not prices. The practice does not publish prices for its Care Plans.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with the medication. The practice says it is "sourced exclusively from FDA-regulated pharmacies, including compounded formulations." Ask whether the medication you would receive is compounded or brand name. The Express plan is described as compounded, and the listing does not say brand name for that plan.

Ask who signs your prescription. Dr. Sampayo is the only prescriber named, and the practice also refers to a licensed clinical team. Ask whether the monthly price covers every dose you might move to, and what that dose limit is. Ask what follow up lab work costs after the included round, and how cancellation works. Ask whether the $50 sign-up fee is refundable. Ask whether your insurance covers the specific GLP-1 you would be prescribed, since the practice does not say insurance covers every medication. If you live outside Florida, Express is not open to you. The listing does not describe peptide therapy or longevity medicine, so ask about those directly if you want them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in Florida, want GLP-1 medication with telemedicine follow up, and are comfortable with a compounded option. If you need in-person visits on a set schedule or brand-name medication covered by insurance, ask those questions before you pay anything.
