What is Cumberland Bariatric Institute?
Cumberland Bariatric Institute is a bariatric practice in Somerset, Kentucky, with a second office in Springfield, Kentucky. It runs surgical and nonsurgical weight loss under one program. The nonsurgical side includes an evaluation, nutrition and lifestyle support, and prescription weight loss medications when appropriate. The surgical side offers sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, SADI-S, duodenal switch, revisional surgery, and gastric band repair or removal. Surgeries are performed at Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital. In its own words: "Medical weight loss care is a nonsurgical way to manage weight, guided by an expert care team."
Three prescribers are named. Joseph Eid, DABOM, FACS, MD, is a bariatric surgeon who has been practicing medicine since 2012 and serves as the institute's director. Robin Goff, APRN, works on the nonsurgical weight loss services. Liara Patton, AGNP-C, DNP, is a primary care nurse practitioner. The practice has a 4.9 rating on Google from 192 reviews. The phone number is 606.451.4011.
What does it cost?
The clinic does not publish prices, consultation fees, or membership terms, so you cannot tell what a first visit or a course of medication will run before you call. It says insurance coverage for these services varies by plan. It does not say whether it accepts insurance, and it does not describe financing. Ask for the full cost of your first visit, the medication, and any surgery before you schedule.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask which prescriber would sign your medication prescriptions, and whether the medication is billed separately from visits. Ask whether the medications are brand-name or compounded, and which GLP-1 drug the program would use, since none is named on its pages. Ask what follow-up visits and lab work cost, how often you would be seen, and whether any visits can be done by video, which is not stated.
If you are considering surgery, ask what your plan requires before approval, since the clinic reviews those requirements at the first visit. Ask whether surgeon, anesthesia, and hospital charges are billed separately. Ask how cancellation works if you stop after the first visit, and which office you would be seen at, Somerset or Springfield.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want a surgical option and a nonsurgical plan explained by one clinic, and you are willing to ask about cost and coverage before you commit. If you need a price in writing before you call, you will need to get it by phone.
