What does it cost?
It does not publish prices. It does not list a consultation fee, and it does not say whether a monthly fee includes the medication. It does not say whether it accepts insurance. Get the full figure in writing, including the medication, before you schedule a visit.
What should you ask before you book?
Start by asking which of the three providers runs the weight loss program, and who writes and signs the prescription. Then ask what the monthly fee covers. Does it include the medication, the visits and the lab work, or is the drug billed separately?
Ask whether the semaglutide or tirzepatide is brand-name or a compounded version made by a pharmacy, and which pharmacy fills it. Ask what the first visit costs, and what follow-up visits and lab work cost. Ask whether any visits can be done by telehealth, since the clinic does not say. Finally, ask how you cancel, and whether there is a contract or a minimum number of months.
Who is it a good fit for?
This is a good fit if you live in or near New Iberia, want an in-person visit with a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, and can get a written price, a clear answer on what the monthly figure covers, and the name of the prescriber before you pay anything. If you need video visits, or you want those answers in hand before you call, ask first and wait for them.
