About NutriHealth

What is NutriHealth?

NutriHealth is a medical weight loss clinic with locations in Delaware, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Its website does not give a street address, phone number or opening hours, so you will need to reach the clinic through its website to book. Its Google listing shows a 4.9 rating from 34 reviews, in the category weight loss service.

The prescriber named is Beshara Helou MD, FACP, the co-founder and CEO. The clinic describes him as board-certified, with over 27 years of experience in private practice. The team also includes nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered dietitians, but no names are given for them, so ask who will write your prescription.

The clinic offers weight loss programs that combine nutrition, exercise and medication, and it calls them physician-supervised. GLP-1 medications are one of the prescription options, though no specific GLP-1 drug is named. Its other services are body composition analysis, one-on-one nutrition counseling, discounted gym memberships and sleep study referrals. Visits can be in person or by telehealth.

This listing is for its Georgetown office at 20930 Dupont Blvd #202.

What does it cost?

The clinic does not publish prices for weight loss or GLP-1 care, and no consultation fee is stated. The only dollar figure on the site is for gym memberships, as low as $10 a month, which is a membership discount rather than the price of care. A Self-Pay Pricing page is linked from the menu, but its figures are not available to report here, so ask for them directly before you book.

The clinic also accepts insurance. In its own words: "All programs are covered by major insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, and BCBS, making expert care accessible and affordable." That does not tell you what you would pay without coverage, and it does not say whether medication is included in any program price.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription, and whether it will be Dr. Helou, a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. Ask whether the program fee includes the GLP-1 medication or whether it is billed separately. Ask which drug you would be prescribed, and whether it is brand-name or compounded, since the two can cost very different amounts.

Ask what follow-up visits, lab work and body composition scans cost, and whether a sleep study referral carries a charge. If you plan to use telehealth, ask whether the clinic can see patients in your state. Ask whether your insurance plan covers GLP-1 medications specifically, and what you would pay if it does not. Finally, ask how the program is cancelled and whether there is a contract or a minimum term.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-supervised program, you are comfortable with either in-person or telehealth visits, and you live in or near Delaware, Maryland or Pennsylvania. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price list or a street address before you pick up the phone, since neither is available.
