What is MetFit-Rx?
MetFit-Rx is a medical weight management practice at 8645 Bluebonnet Blvd, Unit C, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Its main service is medically supervised weight management built around GLP-1 medications, with nutrition plans, exercise plans, health coaching and lifestyle support alongside them. The clinic describes itself as a precision metabolic health practice built on the principles of longevity medicine, and says weight loss is often what brings patients in, not the end goal.
The prescribers listed are John A Fudickar, PA, and Michael Duplechain, M.D. Dr. Duplechain's listing gives his focus as weight management and family medicine. The clinic lists an initial medical consultation, eligibility screening, metabolic evaluation, lab monitoring, follow-up care, pharmacy services and safety and side-effect management, along with services for nausea and constipation and microdosing for GLP-1s. It names semaglutide and tirzepatide, and the brand names Wegovy, Ozempic and Zepbound. The office is open Tuesday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and closed Monday and Friday through Sunday. The phone number is 225-279-9548.
The clinic markets to Baton Rouge, Prairieville, Gonzales, Denham Springs, Zachary and surrounding Ascension Parish communities. In its own words: "Medication Can Be a Tool. It Is Not the Whole Plan."
What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. The only cost language the clinic gives is a free confidential consultation. It does not say whether medication is included in any price, whether it accepts insurance, or what its membership and cancellation terms are. Before you book, ask for the full cost of the first visit, each follow-up, lab work and the medication itself, and ask for those figures in writing.
What should you ask before you book?
Ask who signs the prescription and who you will see at follow-up visits, John A Fudickar, PA, or Michael Duplechain, M.D. Ask whether the medication is brand-name or compounded, since the clinic lists microdosing and in-house pharmacy services. Ask whether any program fee includes the medication, or whether the drug is billed separately. Ask what labs, follow-up visits and side-effect check-ins cost, and how often they happen. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, because the clinic does not address this. Ask whether it takes your insurance, and how you cancel if you decide to stop.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you want weight management run by a physician or PA, you live in or near Baton Rouge, you can come in on a weekday from Tuesday through Thursday, and you are ready to get the full cost in writing before you commit. If you need a published price list or telehealth visits, call first and ask.
