About CareMEDICA

What is CareMEDICA, North Haven?

CareMEDICA is mainly a primary care and family practice, with offices in North Haven and Wallingford, Connecticut, and Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Its four listed services are primary care, concierge medicine through CareMEDICA Elite, medical weight loss, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Each Elite physician cares for a limited number of patients, 250 on average and never more than 500. Prescribers named across the practice are Renu Bazaz-Kapoor, DO; Fausto Petruzziello, MD; Randolph Ramirez, MD; Alexandria Koukos, APRN-FNPC; Assunta "Sue" Sandor, PA-C; Rebecca Grillo, PA-C; Kriezel Presta, PA-C; and Tio Livingston, PA-C. Google lists the business as a weight loss service, with a 4.4 rating from 291 reviews.

The weight loss program, called WeightMEDICA, uses semaglutide and tirzepatide, which the clinic names as OZEMPIC and MOUNJARO. Its process includes body composition testing, a resting metabolic rate measurement, an EKG, a complete lab panel, nutrition counseling, health coaching, and regular one-on-one meetings with an assigned specialist. Hormone therapy uses bioidentical hormones delivered as pellets placed under the skin.

This listing is for its Wallingford office at 821 N Main Street Ext Ste 210.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or whether medication is included in any price. It also does not say whether insurance is accepted for weight loss or hormone care.

CareMEDICA Elite is a membership billed monthly, quarterly, or annually. The fee is in addition to regular insurance coverage, and membership is not a replacement for insurance. Monthly members are charged on the 1st or 15th of the month. The minimum enrollment is 6 months. In its own words: "After your initial 6 months, standard billing occurs on an annual or bi-annual basis." The fee may change, and questions about using an HSA or FSA go to your insurer or benefits administrator.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the GLP-1 prescription. The weight loss program describes a board-certified bariatric specialist without naming one, so get a name and credential before you pay anything. Ask whether the medication is included in the monthly price, and whether it is the brand-name product or a compounded version. Ask whether nutrition counseling and health coaching are part of the price, and what the lab work, follow-up visits, and pellet insertions cost. Ask whether telehealth visits are available, because the clinic does not say. If you are weighing membership, ask what each tier costs, since the clinic names Blue, Gold, and Platinum levels, and ask what happens to your fee if the price changes.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one practice for primary care alongside a prescription weight loss or hormone program, and you are ready to get prices by phone at (203) 672-2800 before you commit. If you need a published price before you call, this clinic does not publish one.
