What is Hartford HealthCare?
Hartford HealthCare is a Connecticut health system with hospitals, a physician group, behavioral health services and rehabilitation services. Its weight loss care is a Medical Weight Loss program, which sits inside a wider weight management effort that also includes bariatric surgery. The program's team includes weight management specialists, behavioral health staff and registered dietitians.
The program says it can suggest weight loss medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration. In its own words: "We can suggest various medications approved by the Food and Drug Administration". The program says these medications require a prescription and should be taken under medical supervision. It does not name the medications, and it does not name any individual prescriber for the program.
Beyond medication, the program offers a diet program with a registered dietitian, exercise plans, and behavioral health support for the emotional side of weight. The system also offers virtual video visits with clinicians, but the program does not say whether the program itself can be done by video. The program does not name a single clinic. Its phone number is 1.855.792.6258.
This listing is for its Glastonbury office at 330 Western Blvd 2nd floor.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices, and it does not give a consultation fee for the program. The first step, an introductory session, is described as free. The program does not say whether medication is included in any fee, and it does not say whether insurance is accepted. The system links to a "Your Cost of Care" page, which is a reasonable place to start, but ask the phone line for the numbers before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription and whether you will see that same prescriber at each visit. Ask which medications the program uses, and whether they are brand-name products or made by a compounding pharmacy. Ask whether the monthly cost includes the medication or bills it separately, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost.
Ask whether the program accepts your insurance, and what a visit costs if it does not. The program recommends a referral from your own doctor but does not require one, so ask whether a referral changes anything about booking. Finally, ask whether any part of the program can be done by video, and how cancellation works.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you have a BMI of 27 or more with a weight-related health issue, or a BMI of 30 or more and have struggled to lose weight on your own, and you want a hospital system's team handling medication, diet, exercise and behavioral support. If the price matters most, get the consultation fee and the monthly cost in writing before you commit.
