About OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports

What is OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports?

OrthoAlabama Spine & Sports is an orthopedic practice with offices in Birmingham, Hoover and Pell City, Alabama. Its main work is bone, joint, muscle and spine care. Medical weight loss and peptide therapy is one of its listed services, alongside bone health and osteoporosis care, diagnostic imaging, durable medical equipment, nerve testing, an on-site pharmacy, a walk-in clinic and workers' compensation. Its Google listing shows a 4.6 rating from 1,324 reviews, under the category Orthopedic clinic.

The weight loss and peptide program is offered by three nurse practitioners: Hannah Rosetta, F.N.P.-C., Claire Wilder, F.N.P., and Brandi Carbonie, R.N., C.R.N.P. Peptide therapy is something its providers "may recommend," so it is not offered to everyone who books. Consultations take place at the Birmingham or Hoover office. The clinic does not say whether telehealth visits are available, and it does not say how long it has run this program.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for the weight loss or peptide program. It also does not say whether medication is included in any price, and it gives no consultation fee. In its own words: "Because every patient’s needs are unique, pricing is determined after consultation." Patients request an appointment with one of the nurse practitioners to talk through eligibility and treatment options, and its team will guide them through paperwork, scheduling and coverage options.

On insurance, it works with insurance whenever possible, but costs may vary depending on the program selected. It does not name the insurers it accepts for this program. Its pharmacy page says all insurances are accepted there, but that is a separate service. It does not mention HSA or financing options, and it does not describe any membership terms.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which of the three nurse practitioners would write your prescription, and who oversees the program when they do. Ask whether any medication is part of the program price or billed separately, and what you would pay each month. The clinic names no medications for weight loss or peptides, so ask for the brand names in writing. Ask whether any of them are compounded.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether telehealth is available. Ask how cancellation works and what the fee is, since the clinic publishes a no-show and cancellation policy. Before the consultation, ask which insurance plans the office checks for this program. You can call (205) 228-7600 to ask all of this before you pay anything.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you already see this practice for orthopedic or bone health care and want a nurse practitioner consultation at the Birmingham or Hoover office. If you need published prices, a named medication list or telehealth before you commit, expect to get those answers by phone first, because the clinic does not publish them.
