About AG Health

What is AG Health?

AG Health is a primary care clinic at 1860 N. Main St., Suite E, Salinas, CA 93906. The phone number is 831-244-0497. Its main work is primary care for individuals, families and employers. Weight management is one of its services, alongside health screening, disease prevention, chronic condition management, sports physicals, DOT physicals and employee physicals. Its chronic care covers conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid conditions and obesity.

Dr. Mary Scott, DO, is a family medicine physician who serves as supervising and collaborating physician. Rafaella Debernardi, PA-C, is a physician assistant who also provides weight loss services. Both are prescribers at the clinic. For weight management, it offers FDA-approved medications when appropriate, along with guidance on dietary choices. It does not name the weight loss medications it prescribes.

It offers same-day and next-day visits. In its own words: "We offer same-day and next-day visits to address your most pressing health needs without delay." Patients can also use a patient portal and text messaging with the team. Its out-of-state telemedicine is open only to patients physically located in Florida.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee or whether medication is included in any price. It accepts Blue Shield PPO and ePPO networks, Aetna Commercial plans and Coastal TPA, and it welcomes self-pay patients. It does not describe membership terms or cancellation.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the weight loss prescription and how often you would see that person. Ask which medications it prescribes, and whether they are brand-name or compounded. Ask whether any monthly fee includes the medication or bills it separately. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost if you pay self-pay. If you have Blue Shield, Aetna or Coastal coverage, ask whether your plan covers weight management medication. Ask how to cancel, whether there is a membership at all, and for its office hours, since it does not list them.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you live in or near Salinas, want primary care that includes weight management, and are ready to ask the questions above before you pay anything. It suits people who can come in person, since its telemedicine is open only to patients physically in Florida.
