About Primeaux Health

What is Primeaux Health?

Primeaux Health is a medical weight management practice, with longevity and metabolic health work alongside it. Its listed services are a medical weight loss and coaching program, an assessment of metabolic health, evidence-based programs for weight loss goals, and a precision medicine approach to optimizing performance. The weight loss program is the one most people would call about. It opens with lab work, an evaluation with an obesity medicine specialist, a review of medical history and past weight loss attempts, and a body composition analysis. The plan that follows uses weight loss medications, and the clinic names a GLP-1 agonist. In its own words: "Our program includes medical interventions, like weight loss medications"

Dr. Paul Primeaux is the Medical Director and the only prescriber the clinic names. He is board-certified in anesthesiology and obesity medicine, is currently completing a longevity medicine fellowship, and has over 20 years of medical practice experience. Erin Primeaux, a certified wellness coach, handles the coaching. She holds a Master of Science Degree in Healthcare Management, is certified by Rice University as an executive coach, and has over 15 years of healthcare administration experience. Its Google listing shows a rating of 5 from 44 reviews, under the category Medical clinic.

This listing is for its New Orleans office at 1615 Poydras St Ste 350.

What does it cost?

It does not publish prices. Several factors influence the cost of each treatment, and the practice recommends a 1-hour weight loss consultation, during which a team member walks through the programs. It does not state a consultation fee, whether medication is included in any price, or whether it accepts insurance. A "Become a Member" button appears on the page, but the membership terms, monthly charge and cancellation rules are not given.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who signs the prescription, and how often you will see Dr. Primeaux in person or by video. The coaching sessions are virtual, and it does not say whether prescriber visits are. Ask whether the monthly fee covers the medication, and whether the GLP-1 agonist is brand-name or compounded. Ask what the initial lab work, follow-up visits and later lab work cost, and whether the consultation is charged. Ask whether insurance is accepted for any part of the care. Ask how membership cancellation works and whether you can stop partway through a billing month. Ask where in-person visits happen, since it does not publish a street address, town or phone number. Ask whether longevity medicine is part of what you would pay for, because the clinic describes Dr. Primeaux's fellowship but does not list longevity medicine as a service.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want a physician-led weight management program with ongoing coaching, you are ready to pay out of pocket, and you can get prices, medication terms and cancellation rules in writing before you commit.
