What is Adams Memorial Hospital?
Adams Memorial Hospital is a hospital in Decatur, Indiana, serving Adams County and the surrounding area since it was founded in 1923. It describes itself as a 25-bed critical access hospital accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Health Care, Inc (ACHC). Weight management is one service among many here, alongside primary care, emergency care, OB and maternity care, rehabilitation, pharmacy and an urgent care clinic. Google lists it as a medical office with a 3.6 rating from 20 reviews.
Its weight management program includes Healthē Habits for Living, an intensive, individualized lifestyle program with exercise, nutrition and lifestyle intervention. It also offers dietician services, diabetes prevention and education, behavioral services and medical consultations with primary care providers. The prescribers named are Michael Ainsworth, M.D., Alec Arturi, D.O., Alisha Brincefield, NP-C, Deya Chen, M.D., and Jack Chen, M.D. The hospital does not say which of them runs weight management. In its own words: "Many of our primary care physicians provide treatment for obesity and obesity complications in their offices." No specific weight-loss medication is named, and the hospital says that for more severe cases, medications or surgery may be required.
This listing is for its Decatur office at 1100 Mercer Ave.
What does it cost?
The hospital does not publish prices for weight management. No consultation fee, program fee or monthly charge appears in its material. It does not say whether insurance is accepted for these visits, whether medication is included in any cost, or whether telehealth is offered. It lists a Pricing/Estimates section among its resources, which is the place to start if you want a figure in writing before you book.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which provider would manage your care, and whether that is a primary care physician, a nurse practitioner or Healthē Habits staff. If a medication comes up, ask its name, whether it is brand-name or compounded, who writes the prescription, and whether its cost is part of any monthly charge. Ask what each visit costs, what follow-up visits and lab work add to the total, and whether insurance will be billed or you will pay out of pocket. Ask whether any part of the program can be done by video or phone, and how cancellation works if you stop partway through. Healthē Habits can be reached at 260-724-2145, ext. 11031, and the dietician at ext. 11115.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you already see, or want to see, one of the hospital's primary care providers and would like weight management folded into your regular medical care. It is a weaker fit if you want a cash-pay program with published prices and a named prescriber from the first call.
