What is Parkview Weight Management?
Parkview Weight Management is a medical weight loss program run by Parkview Health, a health system whose pages give Fort Wayne, Indiana. Patients meet one-on-one with physicians, advanced practitioners, licensed mental health counselors and registered dietitians. The prescribers it names are Brian LaMar, MD, Jacquelyn Small, DO, and six nurse practitioners: Leslie Angel, NP, Brett Burns, NP, Virginia Nider, NP, Laura Silver, NP, Jolynn Spann, NP and Kara Zurbuch, NP. It does not publish a street address or office hours, so call 260-425-6390 to confirm where visits happen.
The program lists five services: individualized movement goals with referrals to the Parkview YMCA or physical and aquatic therapy, lifestyle counseling, medication management, mental and emotional health support, and nutrition education. Medication management covers current medicines that may work against weight loss, and the program says its prescribers are versed in weight loss medications. It does not name a specific weight loss medication. Google lists the practice as a medical clinic with a rating of 4 from 13 reviews.
This listing is for its Columbia City office at 1260 IN-205.
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for visits or medication, and it does not state a consultation fee. It says there are no startup fees for the program. Visits are billed to insurance. In its own words: "All visits are billed to your insurance provider." Self-pay options also exist, and the program says to ask a staff member for details.
Many insurers do not cover weight loss medications. The program says it uses low-cost generic alternatives where it can and that many generic equivalents run less than $10/month. Meal replacements are not covered by insurance, and the program estimates $35.00 to $58.00 a week before tax, depending on the plan you choose. On length, the program says: "Our program is open-ended." It does not say whether any monthly fee includes medication, and it does not describe cancellation terms.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who writes the prescription and whether that person will see you at each visit, since visits may rotate between dietitians, providers and counselors. Ask for the consultation fee, the self-pay price for a visit, and the monthly cost of any medication, including refills. Ask whether the medication is brand name or generic, and whether your plan covers it.
Ask whether lab work and follow-up visits are billed separately. Ask whether visits can be done by video, since the program does not say. Insurers may cap Medical Nutrition Therapy visits each year, so check that before you book with a dietitian. Ask how to stop the program and whether you owe anything when you do.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want prescriber visits combined with dietitian and counseling support, you can pay for care your insurance may not cover, and you want an ongoing program you can enter without a referral. If you need a published price before you call, this one will not give you one online, so start with a phone call.
