What is Northwest Medical Weight Loss Clinic?
Northwest Medical Weight Loss Clinic is a medical weight loss practice at 9696 Gordon Dr in Highland, Indiana. Dana Rifai MD oversees the care and is the only prescriber the clinic names. Her listed board certifications are in internal medicine and obesity medicine, and she earned her medical degree in 2007.
Medical weight loss is the clinic's main service. It lists four services: Medical Weight Loss, Comorbidity Care, Personalized support and Self Management Tools. The medications it names include Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound, and it also lists phentermine, phentermine/topiramate, Contrave and Foundayo. Visits can be in person or by telehealth. It serves patients throughout Northwest Indiana, including Highland, Munster, Schererville, Griffith, Hammond, Dyer, St. John, Crown Point, Merrillville and Hobart. Its Google listing shows a 4.8 rating from 16 reviews. In its own words: "We believe no patient should be denied access to evidence-based obesity medicine care."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices for its medical weight loss program, its medications or its follow-up visits. It does not say whether medication is included in any price. It states no consultation fee and publishes no membership, commitment or cancellation terms. It does not mention HSA or financing options.
Its service listings show one price each for other care: physicals $50, urgent care $20, blood tests $50, X-rays and lab tests $80, travel vaccines $20 and doctor examinations $50. Those listings give no detail about what each price covers. Insurance and self-pay are both accepted, and all major insurance plans are accepted. No specific plans are named.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs your prescription, and whether Dana Rifai MD reviews and signs each one. Ask whether the monthly fee, if there is one, includes the medication. Brand-name products such as Ozempic and Wegovy are named, but nothing says whether any medication is compounded, so ask which product you would receive and where it is filled. Ask whether the medication is covered by your insurance, since medication selection depends on insurance coverage among other factors.
Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, because the listed blood test and lab prices do not say whether they apply to the weight loss program. Ask which states the telehealth visits cover, since no states are named. Ask which insurance plans are accepted and whether yours is one of them. Ask how to cancel and whether you would be bound to a set term.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want physician-led weight loss care from a doctor certified in obesity medicine, you live near Highland or in one of the towns it names, and you are willing to confirm prices and medication terms before you commit. In its own words: "Any person with a BMI over 30 is a candidate for medically guided weight loss programs." If your BMI is near or below that line, ask the clinic how it decides eligibility before you pay for anything.
Office hours are 9:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Thursday and 9:00am to 3:00pm Friday. The phone number is 219-937-2511. Because prices and cancellation terms are not published, that call is the place to get them in writing. The clinic suits readers who want a physician-led program and are ready to ask about cost and cancellation before booking.
