About Lutheran Health Physicians

What is Lutheran Health Physicians?

Lutheran Health Physicians is a multi-specialty physician group with more than 50 providers and offices in Fort Wayne, Warsaw, Auburn and Syracuse, Indiana. Its main business is family, internal and specialty medicine. Obesity medicine is one service within it, and the one physician listed for it is Dr. Kanika Jaggi, M.D.

Dr. Jaggi is a board-certified family medicine and obesity medicine physician. She is certified by the American Board of Family Medicine and the American Board of Obesity Medicine, and she trained at Saba University School of Medicine in the Dutch Caribbean. In its own words: "Dr. Jaggi's specialized training in obesity medicine enables her to medically manage patients' weight loss and any related health conditions."

Of the four services this directory covers, the clinic offers weight loss care. It does not mention hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity medicine. Telehealth is available. Google lists the practice at 4.5 stars from 329 reviews, under family practice physician.

This listing is for its Fort Wayne office at 12404 Lima Xing Dr #200.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, a consultation fee, or any membership or package cost. It also does not say whether it accepts insurance, so you cannot tell from its listing whether a visit would be billed to insurance or paid in cash. Ask for the total cost of the first visit and of each follow-up before you book, and ask for the answer in writing if you can.

What should you ask before you book?

Start with who will prescribe. Ask whether Dr. Jaggi writes every prescription herself, and who covers when she is out. Next, ask whether the program includes any medication, and if it does, which one. The clinic names no weight-loss medication, and it does not say whether a GLP-1 medication is offered. If one is, ask whether it is brand-name or compounded, and what it adds to the monthly cost.

Then ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether telehealth visits are priced differently from office visits. Ask how to cancel or pause if you stop. Finally, ask which of its two Fort Wayne offices your visits would be at, since its listing shows two locations there.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want weight management from a board-certified family and obesity medicine physician in Fort Wayne, and you are prepared to get the full cost in writing before you commit. If you came looking for hormone therapy, peptide therapy or longevity care, the clinic does not list any of those.
