About Malibu Medical Weight Loss & Nutrition

What is Malibu Medical Weight Loss & Nutrition?

Malibu Medical Weight Loss & Nutrition is a medical weight loss clinic at 2999 N Cole Rd., Boise, ID 83704. The phone number is 208-322-6291. It was established in 1996 and is a locally owned and operated, family business. Its main focus is prescription appetite suppressants, offered alongside behavioral and nutrition programs. It also offers a GLP-1 product, vitamins, exercise, yoga and lifestyle classes, and lab work. Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 4.7 rating from 45 reviews.

The clinic does not name who writes its prescriptions. That is the first thing to settle before you book.

What does it cost?

The monthly office visit is $78. In its own words: "The seventy-eight dollar office visit is a flat fee that includes the office visit, your RX medication, and unlimited Exercise, Lifestyle and Yoga classes." The flat fee does not cover the GLP-1, and vitamins are billed separately.

Starting out costs more. A medical exam is $80, lab work is $105, and a two-week prescription is $38, for a start-up total of $223. A special start-up package is $125. The follow-up visit at two weeks is $78. Prescription medication with GLP-1 is $228, and GLP-1 alone is $170, but it is not stated whether those are one-time or monthly charges. It does not say whether it accepts insurance or offers HSA payment or financing. The only membership term is "No contracts needed."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescriptions and what their credentials are. No prescriber is named, and the $80 medical exam is the first step, so get that answer before you pay.

Ask what the GLP-1 product actually is. The clinic calls it a supplement in one place and drug therapy in another. Ask what it costs each month, and whether the appetite suppressant is brand-name or compounded.

Ask what follow-up visits and repeat labs cost. Lab work is repeated after six months, but no price is given for that. Ask how cancellation works, and whether telehealth visits are available. Ask for the weekly schedule, since office hours are not published. Its classes run at 9:00, 10:00 and 11:00 am on office days.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want an in-person clinic in Boise, you plan to pay cash, and you are comfortable confirming who prescribes and what the GLP-1 costs before you book the $80 exam. It is a poor fit if you need telehealth, insurance billing, or a named prescriber you can look up before you start.
