About TruCare

What is TruCare?

TruCare is a primary care practice at 945 SW Martin Downs Blvd in Palm City, Florida. The phone number is (772) 255-6565. Primary care and telehealth are its main work, and medicated weight loss is one of its services. It also visits patients in their homes in Martin County and in assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing home and skilled nursing settings.

The practice names four prescribers. Jennifer Seegott, DNP, is the owner and founder. Rose Estelle Celestin-Obas, AG/ACNP-BC, leads the virtual weight loss and primary care visits. Kristen Sagner, APRN, serves patients across Martin County in their homes and assisted living settings. Claudette Creary Johnston, APRN, rounds full-time at the skilled nursing facility. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the office is closed Saturday and Sunday. On Google it is listed as a medical group and rated 4.9 from 145 reviews.

What does the weight loss program involve?

The practice says it treats obesity as a chronic disease and focuses on lifestyle guidance, nutritional support, and metabolic analysis. Medication is part of the offer too. In its own words: "We also offer medicated weight loss assistance with semaglutide and other alternatives with close supervision by board-certified providers." The practice names semaglutide but does not list the other alternatives, so that is the first thing to ask about.

What does it cost?

TruCare does not publish prices. It says cash prices are available by calling the office, and no consultation fee is listed. It accepts Medicare, Florida Medicaid, Tricare East Region and Oscar Health, but it asks patients to call and confirm that their specific plan is accepted. Patients can also pay through CareCredit, which the practice lists as a payment option. Nothing on the practice's materials says whether medication is included in any price.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription and whether that prescriber also handles your follow-up visits. Ask which weight loss medications, besides semaglutide, the practice offers, and whether the semaglutide is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether any monthly or cash price includes the medication, and whether there is a membership fee or contract. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether telehealth or in-home visits are priced differently from office visits. Ask how to cancel and whether there is a cancellation fee. Finally, ask the office to confirm your insurance plan before you schedule.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want medical weight loss support alongside ongoing primary care and you can see a provider in person in Palm City or by video. It is also a fit if you or a family member lives in an assisted living or skilled nursing setting in Martin County and needs care where you live. If you need a firm price before you call, expect to call first, since none is published.
