About Weight Management - Florence

What is Weight Management, Florence?

Weight Management, Florence is a weight management location of St. Elizabeth Healthcare, a nonprofit health system serving Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. It is at 4900 Houston Road in Florence, KY 41042, and the phone number is (859) 212-4625. Hours are Monday through Wednesday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday and Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the office is closed on weekends.

The location lists these providers with their credentials: Miranda Miller, APRN; Heather Schuler, APRN; Elizabeth Hughes, APRN; Edward Schumann, MD; Martin Moon, MD; and Harish Nirujogi, MD. It does not say which of them runs the weight management program. Weight management is the only service it lists. It shows that it is accepting new patients, that virtual visits are available, and that care is offered in English, Hindi and Telugu.

In its own words: "We have weight loss programs and medical experts in place to help you reach your healthy weight goal." The location does not name any medication, so you will want to ask what would be prescribed before you book.

This listing is for its Lawrenceburg office at 600 Wilson Creek Rd.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices for this program, and it does not list a consultation fee. The health system posts general price transparency information, but it gives no price for weight management. Nothing says whether a medication is included in any fee.

The location says it accepts insurance, links to a full list of accepted plans, and notes that coverage varies by provider. If you are paying out of pocket because your plan does not cover this care, ask whether the program can be billed as cash pay and what that price would be. Financing, HSA use and membership terms are not mentioned.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which provider runs the program and who writes its prescriptions. Martin Moon and Harish Nirujogi are listed under general surgery, so ask whether either one sees weight management patients.

Ask whether the program charges a monthly fee or a one-time fee, and whether that fee includes medication. If a medication is included, ask its name, whether it is brand name or compounded, and which pharmacy fills it.

Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, and whether they are billed separately. Ask whether a virtual visit is priced the same as an office visit. Ask how to cancel and whether any minimum time applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a weight management program inside a nonprofit health system, you are comfortable with an office visit in Florence or a virtual visit, and you will get the price, provider and medication answers in writing before you pay. If you need a published price or a named medication before you call, this listing cannot answer that yet.
