About Optimum Wellness

What is Optimum Wellness?

Optimum Wellness is a mental health practice with offices in Swansea and East St. Louis, Illinois. Its services are also advertised for Belleville. Most of what it does is counseling and therapy, covering anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, family counseling and anger management, with psychiatry alongside. Medical weight loss and telehealth are the other two services it lists.

The one prescriber named is Brandy Eichelberger, FNP, PMHNP-BC. The practice has over 20 years of experience in mental health and a 4.7 rating on Google from 3 reviews. Its weight loss care uses Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, and Mounjaro is also named. Telehealth is offered for counseling and therapy through live video, from a computer or smartphone.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for weight loss, and it does not say whether medication is included in any price. No consultation fee for weight loss is stated. It accepts most commercial insurance plans, Medicaid and Medicare, but does not say whether that covers weight loss visits or medication. A limited-time offer for starting Semaglutide or Tirzapatide is advertised with no price or terms.

In its own words: "No one will be denied services due to inability to pay." Sliding fee discounts based on family size and income are also mentioned. That statement is written around mental health and wellness, so ask whether it reaches weight loss care.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the weight loss prescription. Brandy Eichelberger is the one prescriber named, but its weight loss care is described as coming from its nurse practitioners in general. Ask whether the monthly fee includes the medication, and whether the drug is brand-name Mounjaro, generic tirzepatide or a compounded version. Ask what the medication costs on its own, since no figure is given.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, whether weight loss visits can be done by video (the telehealth description covers counseling and therapy), and how cancellation works. Ask which office you would use, and whether East St. Louis has its own hours and address, since none are given there. Call 618.641.3588 before you book.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want counseling, psychiatry and weight loss care from one practice, and you are ready to confirm the monthly cost, the medication and the prescriber before you pay. If you need a published price before you call, this practice does not give one, so plan on a phone conversation first.
