About Weight Loss NP

What is Weight Loss NP?

Weight Loss NP is a nurse practitioner led medical weight loss and hormone clinic at 387 Corona St, Suite 1116, Denver, CO 80218. You can call or text (720)340-8154. In-person visits at the Denver office are by appointment. Laura Heffern is the only named prescriber, and her credentials are not stated, so ask which license and certifications she holds before you book.

The services are medical weight loss in Denver, hormone replacement therapy for men and women, healthspan and longevity care, menopause care, and lifestyle and wellness coaching. Medications named include semaglutide, tirzepatide, metformin, phentermine, low-dose naltrexone and NAD+. Patients who prefer non-injectable options can be offered phentermine or oral semaglutide. Menopause care is described as coming from a Menopause Society Certified Nurse Practitioner, though no name is attached to that description.

Telemedicine visits are available in Colorado, Utah and Florida. Patients in Denver, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, Arvada, Highlands and Centennial are served. In its own words: "Most Denver patients never need to visit an office in person."

This listing is for its Arvada office at 12650 W 64th Ave Unit 207.

What does it cost?

Semaglutide is offered at $350 a month and tirzepatide starting at $450 a month, when medically indicated. It does not say whether those monthly prices include the medication, visits or lab work. It does not publish a price for testosterone or other hormone therapy. The first consultation is free and is used to confirm you are a candidate and go over the details.

The practice is credentialed with Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna and First Health, and it handles prior authorizations and appeals for medication coverage. Ask whether the monthly prices are cash prices or billed through your plan. It does not publish membership terms, a minimum commitment or a cancellation policy.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs your prescription and which license and certifications that person holds. Laura Heffern is the only prescriber named, and her credentials are not stated.

Ask whether the $350 and $450 monthly prices include the medication, follow-up visits and lab work. If labs or follow-ups are billed separately, ask what each costs.

Ask whether semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or compounded. The practice has written about compounded semaglutide, so ask which form you would receive. Ask which peptides and supplements are part of a plan, since the Denver weight loss services mention peptides and supplements alongside GLP-1 treatment. Ask what hormone therapy costs, because no price is published for it.

Ask how cancellation works and whether there is a minimum term. No office hours are published, so ask for them. Finally, ask which city your care is based in. Some published articles name Arvada, while the street address is in Denver.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a Denver-area practice that can handle some visits by telemedicine, and you want written answers on the prescriber, the monthly price and cancellation terms before you pay. If you have Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna or First Health coverage and want help getting a medication approved, raise that on the first call.
