About UofL Health

What is UofL Health, UofL Hospital, Advanced Bariatrics and Medical Weight Management Clinic?

This clinic is part of UofL Health, a nonprofit hospital system in Louisville, Kentucky. It sits in the Chestnut Street Outpatient Center at 401 E. Chestnut Street, Suite 180, Louisville, KY 40202, and its phone number is 502-588-4790. Visits run 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Its main work is bariatric surgery. Pre-surgery appointments happen in this clinic, and most surgeries take place at UofL Hospital, which connects to the same building. Medical weight management is the second service it lists.

Hannah Raake, APRN, is the one person named as prescriber here. Her bio describes her as a certified nurse practitioner who specializes in bariatric surgery and medical weight management, with over five years of experience. Her listed training includes a DNP from the University of Louisville, finished in 2019. The clinic lists five surgical options plus endoscopic procedures, and it describes support from a nurse coordinator, a registered dietitian, a social worker, a financial counselor and pharmacy support.

This listing is for its Shepherdsville office at 1868 W Hebron Ln Ste 301.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices, consultation fees or medication costs. It says it accepts insurance: UofL Physicians participates in most major health plans in Kentucky, and coverage may vary by specialty. Nothing on its pages describes a cash-pay option, a membership, a financing plan or an HSA. It also does not say whether any medication is included in a fee. Call 502-588-4790 before you book and ask for the cash price of the first visit, the follow-up visits and any lab work.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes the prescription and whether Hannah Raake, APRN, prescribes weight loss medication, since the clinic does not name any. If medication is part of the plan, ask which one, whether it is brand-name or compounded, and whether its cost is in the fee or billed to you separately. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, because the clinic does not say. If you are considering surgery, ask which steps your insurer must approve, what the pre-surgery visits cost you, and what happens if coverage is denied. Finally, ask how to cancel or pause care and whether any fee applies.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you are looking at bariatric surgery or a hospital-based weight program and plan to use insurance. It is a weaker fit if you want a cash-pay medication program with listed prices, since the clinic does not describe one.
