About Inspire Medical Weight Loss

What is Inspire Medical Weight Loss?

Inspire Medical Weight Loss is a medical weight loss practice with a medspa, also known as Inspire Weight Loss and Medspa. It has offices in Shelbyville and Bardstown, Kentucky, and it offers telehealth as well. Doctor Tricia Flake founded the business and operates it. She is the only prescriber named, and no credentials are listed for her. Its team has over 25 years of healthcare experience, by its own account. Google lists it as a weight loss service with a 4.8 rating from 25 reviews.

Weight loss is the main service. The program combines nutrition education, exercise and behavior work with prescription medication. Medications named include phentermine, diethylpropion, Saxenda, Mounjaro, Ozempic, Contrave, semaglutide, Zepbound and Qsymia, among others. Medical meal replacements, B-12 injections and lipo fat burning injections are also offered. Testosterone replacement therapy, which the practice calls bioidentical hormone therapy, is a separate service. The spa side includes Hydrafacial MD, teeth whitening, facials, dermaplaning, and lashes and brows. Peptide therapy and longevity medicine are not offered. A peptide eye cream sold for $45.00 is skincare, which is different from peptide therapy.

This listing is for its Shelbyville office at 187 Alpine Rd.

What does it cost?

A new patient visit costs $169.99. That covers health history, weight and other biometrics, an EKG, urinalysis, blood work if needed, and a prescription if appropriate. Monthly follow up visits are $85.99. Inspire does not say whether that fee includes medication, and it publishes no price for the medication itself. Annual labs and EKG are $50.00, included in the first visit for the first year. B-12 injections add $15.00 and lipo fat burning injections add $22.00. No prices are published for testosterone replacement therapy. It does not say whether it accepts insurance or offers HSA or financing.

On membership, it puts it this way: "No contracts required. We treat you and your needs and those can change throughout your experience." It does not describe how cancellation works.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and what credentials that person holds, since none are listed for Doctor Tricia Flake. Ask whether the $85.99 monthly fee covers medication or whether drugs are billed separately, and what they cost each month. For testosterone, ask whether the hormones are brand-name or custom compounded, since custom compounded hormones are offered as an option. Ask for the full monthly cost of that program in writing. Ask what follow up lab work costs beyond the annual labs. Ask whether insurance is accepted, which days each town offers in-person and telehealth visits, and which states telehealth covers. Ask how to cancel and whether a fee applies. The phone number is (502) 275-9247.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a doctor-led weight loss program or testosterone therapy paid out of pocket, can get to Shelbyville or Bardstown or use telehealth, and are willing to get the answers above before you book. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for peptide therapy or longevity medicine, or if you need care billed to insurance.
